I think we might need to bite the bullet and get a permanent solution. Remember Smithy's a left back now, that still leaves us with no-one at RB! (This team and it's management, as well as it's done, absolutely blows my mind sometimes)
If we get desperate a loan might work but we need a permanent RB AND a loanee to cover until Smith is back. We can NOT put Fraser back at RB again. Ever.
I haven't any answers as to who, I barely have time to watch our games these says, but we'll have to buy someone in the Summer anyway. Get them now and plug the enormous gaping hole in our squad. We'd still be an injury from disaster again with just 1 signing.
And that's before we talk about the need for another right side CB (another position we're an injury away from trouble in and are already playing a left sided CB in, as well as he's been doing) and another CM, where we also have ZERO options on the bench. Who's going to play CM when Lerma gets his 3 match ban against Man U?
We need 4 players in this window. We're allowed 2 loans. We could actually do with 6 players in this window so we have cover/rotation for any injuries.
I wonder if we've overworked our players and contributed to these injuries? If we rotated more would they be less likely to do their knees? Is it the training pitches? Or is it luck? Awful, classic AFCB luck. It's happened to us en masse twice now, with Callum having a further injury, too...
Anyway. 4 signings minimum, IMO.
