If we had all of those players fit, I wonder if we'd have done as well in the opening two games? The temptation to tinker and the need to give everyone minutes would have surely changed the lineups slightly.

You’re right, and the Blackpool result in effect vindicates the decisions made regarding the Blackburn game.

Spot on that's what we did when we got into the league he gave minutes to all and sundry. It wasn't until 10 games in that we got into our stride with a settled line up.

One thing in our favour is that when the injured players are back in contention is that they will all have to fight to get into the starting 11 and not be guarenteed a starting spot by dropping somebody who has done well already and disrupting the team.

There is merit in saying sometimes you can have too many selection headaches and the team loses continuity. But obviously it seriously had a role to play in what we had to do mid week.
And as the season roles on, the winter comes in and games come thick and fast we need to have a much bigger squad to choose from.
I think Challinor is hoping we can get to that international break and we may have 4 or 5 either there or thereabouts very close to a return.

The settled line up came from good performances. The reason we were changing it up was because we weren’t good.

Before someone asks, here's my understanding of where we are with return dates. If anyone has any news on Mellon that would be good. Hughes - A knock to ankle. Was a doubt for last Saturday depending on whether the swelling had gone down. Apparently ankles aren't serious, you just wrap them up and it's workable. Would expect back for Rovers. Powell - Back in training. Joining back with the group hopefully the back end of this week, so a possibility for Rovers but may be a stretch. Rydel - A bit behind Powell. Also a few mental hurdles to overcome that he can push his body after setbacks. Back of this month was mentioned at the Forum. Stretton - Not mentioned in recent updates but he was put with Powell in the Fan Forum/Cambridge prematch update so may be back soon. Fiorini - Not mentioned recently by DC or a timeframe given but HH heard from him personally that he'd be back in a couple of weeks at Cambridge. I suspect that's back in training - he wasn't pictured with Powell etc. - and he'll be eased back like Powell. At the Fans Forum/first prematch the 4 back for August were Tanto and the above (Hughes got injured afterward) then an unnamed 5th for the first international break. Not sure what the injury is. Connolly - Did his ankle on a sprinkler in Pinatar but obviously worse than Hughes. Think 4-6 weeks was mentioned originally so can't be too far away but not been pictured back in training. MSH - Bit of a mystery. Back in some of training and confirmed as ahead of schedule but no mention in recent updates, lots of work to do after so long out and Christmas was first feared. Mellon - Also a bit of mystery. Feared as a ACL but went back to Burnley and the news was not as bad as feared, a couple of months but I don't think that's been confirmed? Adaramola - MCL. I think 2 months or 6-8 weeks was mentioned at the Forum? Probably end of next month? Knoyle - 4 months out. Back and fit for Christmas/January?

That’s just the list above with less detail.

Latest update from Sam Byrne on Twitter: Current scores on the doors for #StockportCounty. 📋 MSH, Rydel, Knoyle, Adaramola, Connolly, Fiorini, Stretton, Hughes, Powell and Mellon the injury/absentee/'some back in training but not ready for action yet' list as we stand. That’s just the list above with less detail. Yeah it sounds like Hughes is worse than expected though so not back tomorrow (or we're being cautious after Onyango has started well). Powell was always a longshot if he rejoined group training late this week as planned. DC seemed to be setting the expectation that none may be back for tomorrow or Mansfield.

Something fishy going on with Powell. He told people he was fit weeks ago.

Add Bate. Hopefully just a knock or his previous one flaring up.
