Chester FC have been dealt an early season blow with the news that at least 6 first team players will be missing for Saturdays game with Kings Lynn.
It could be a difficult few weeks ahead for the Blues as injuries start to impact their small squad.

Seems to be something that happens to us every season. Why that's the case who knows, but it can't just be misfortune. Tough start on paper this season so will certainly be a challenging few weeks ahead.

We started similar last season with loads of injuries to our best X1 before the season had begun.
Just got to ride through it and collect as many points as we can.

It looked like Thomas limped off on Monday.

That’s not much clarity is it really….
Who exactly is missing?

Last season we got through these moments as we had plenty of bodies around like Lynch, Devine, Steveo, Dudley, Brown, Kenyon. All players that came in and done a reliable job. Our squad is thin and we ar down on numbers, I feel we have gone quality over quantity with the likes of Taylor and Whitehorse but last year it was rare you could say the bench was terrible.
I fear things worse before they will get better. We badly need a loan in as it’s hectic start and we could a Mike behind if not careful.
What’s the situation with Roberts? Last played April, when on earth did he get that badly injured he is struggling to walk whilst being physio which begs the question why is he physio when he is injured and where is the normal physio?

Caton might now be out for a couple of weeks.

Agree re squad depth and need for loans etc. Arguably, only picking up 3 wins in first 10 matches last season cost us automatic promotion last season. Think we need a central defender and centre forward- loan or more permanent |

Squad looking threadbare already..Caton would be a massive blow.

Zac Clark has gone out on loan today seems bonkers looking at our injury list we have at the moment, we are desperate for at least a short term loan or two.

The team looks as though it will be missing some big players tomorrow, the calibre of those are certain starters in our strongest side. I am surprised that an emergency loan or two haven’t come in, unless the injuries are not as bad as indicated. |

No attacking midfield just defensive, Coates and Taylor working as wingbacks with Hall and Murray up front like a Jessie James and Derek Draper partnership. Oh we wish!

I think we need to tone the training down ,to pick up more injuries on top of Saturday and before we must be doing something wrong

I really hope there are some mind games going on here, but if we are really missing all of the mentioned key players, then I’m really surprised that we have not brought in a couple of loan signings to boost the squad and even sent out a player on loan!

Calum does do that with these a bit, but more with the length rather than if they are actually injured or not. Last season he said Kole Hall would be out for six weeks only for him to miss two games and back after ten days.
Listening to him earlier, he was really downbeat about Caton and although he didn't say what was wrong with Weeks, the tone suggested it was a very short term thing with him, maybe just this week?

Cal confirmed on the Friday night show that Caton is out for the forseable with a hamstring injury, at least a month from what he’s said. No weeks or Williams today, very worrying. Hoping the rest of the lads can rally round in their absence, definitely need a couple of bodies through the door asap.
