I know it was a long time ago but in 2003/04, we wont the league with just 3 CBs

And one of them was Shackell who'd barely played.

2018/19, Godfrey and Zimbo kept Klose and Hanley out for months even though they were fit.

It all comes down to fitness and luck and we've had very little of of the latter for ages. We could see Hanley and Gibson stay in for months, unlikely as it is.

Gibson's history suggests he's not particularly injury prone, barely missing a game for 5 seasons at Boro so knowing our luck he'll have a major one!
