We have Robertson out long term who covers left back and cb we have Jones out who covers both full backs we have Thompson out suspended who covers right back and cb. We have mattocjk out for another game. If let happens to iekwe or wood injury suspension wise we will have one proper cb for these games if we lose both and we will have no cbs. We are in 2nd position now. Are we serious about going up or not? If we aren't then fair enough we will carry on playing players out of position to cover. I'm not asking for loads of players just a couple of decent defenders. Loanees will do.
I'm not sure we will go down if we don't sign a defender Roly.
TS PW still need to balance the books so ambition is always limited. PW wants a winger and a striker. Maybe he knows that a few will be leaving! Were not a big club and can't stack players just for the sake of it or because we're short for next 3/4 games. We have 10 or 11 players who are all defenders and possibly 2 more who could stand in at short notice. Warne has got us to 2nd position with a patched up team. Maybe 4 or 5 more players in the window will give us promotion, crystal ball would be nice. though any permanent signings will effect us beyond this season. If it's loan players were looking at it will be in towards the end of the window due to the food chain/pecking order/ how it works.
