The boss shared his thoughts ahead of the visit of Seaham Red Star.
Redcar Athletic boss Carl Jarrett aired concerns over amassing injuries ahead of the visit of Seaham Red Star on Tuesday evening.
The Steelmen were without Mark Anderson, Jack Blackford, and Kevin Burgess at the weekend, Jarrett telling of one further absence, as Craig Gott returns to the fold.
Dropping points for the first time in league play at the weekend, Redcar Athletic will go in search of a just response on home soil, the boss frustrated not to have a full squad at his disposal.
“We’ve got to look at what numbers we’ve got.” He said. “We’ll have another lad missing come Tuesday night, so that doesn’t make the squad any better.”
“We just look a very tired bunch. We’re asking players to play every single minute of every single game. It does become quite hard.
“We’re just struggling with numbers. We can’t buy a sixteen man squad at the minute.”
His thin squad pit against a stubborn, well-drilled Seaham Red Star, Jarrett conceded he expects a tough match.
The boss added: “Colly (Mark Collingwood – Seaham Red Star Manager) will have them wound up as usual. He’ll have them well organised.”
“They’ve got some good players, so I know it’ll be a very difficult game.
“Obviously, we’re back at Green Lane. So hopefully the lads will be well supported.”
