Just looked at the team news for Plymouth in November last season

Roeder didn't have a great deal to choose from that day. Here's what the official site said : -

Darren Huckerby is serving the second match of his three-game suspension, while Adam Drury has been ruled out for a number of months while he recovered from an operation to repair ankle ligaments.

Mark Fotheringham is still a number of weeks away from ankle ligament damage, with doubts still surrounding the fitness of hamstring strain victims Dion Dublin and Luke Chadwick

"A bit like Dion, if we've persevered it would have completely gone," said Roeder, when asked if Chadwick would make the game after picking up the injury during the midweek defeat to Watford.

"So he's going to just be 50/50 for Saturday. He'll go out and do a little bit of work with the physio this morning and we'll know whether we can use him Saturday or whether we wont have him for a couple of weeks, because obviously there's the international break."

And Roeder said he would not risk the fitness of Chadwick, especially with the international break giving him a chance to get some of his walking wounded back to full fitness.

"I wont take a chance," he said. "I've learned in life it's sometimes painful to be patient but it always pays off. You never take a chance with injuries. It's painful because with Hucks being out for a couple more games and Dion is unlikely to figure the squad is small anyway."
