I would think (hope) the club are at least competent enough to sort the numbers out before the end of the window.
But the Northampton and Coventry games are a cause for concern defensively for sure.
If either EEL or Wootton are sent off or injured, we'll be forced to play 3 at the back, unless Cissé or Jackson play as makeshift CBs. Wolves could still recall EEL as well.
Really not sure about this whole Ariyibi thing. Our top scorer this season gone, and replaced with an inexperienced Middlesbrough winger.
Purely in terms of numbers, we've lost 3 (Ariyibi, Golbourne and Walsh) and brought in 2 (Ugbo and Tavernier). Even before January, the squad needed adding to and strengthening particularly in attack, and now we're already down on squad strength.
Still probably need another 4 players. Absolutely essential we bring in another CB and LB.
Ideally we also need an attack minded creative CM/#10 (as cover for Aneke and for more potency going forward) and either another winger or striker.
Neilson and the recruitment team have really fucked this team up, let's be honest.
true, although I doubt that particular event is top of their 'must do as a matter of urgency' list.....
