Personally I don't agree and am disappointed with BBM.
I am a huge fan of his and very rarely criticise him but he always says he won't make knee jerk reactions in the transfer market and that's what this looks like.
Four CBs are enough, we don't need any more.
I agree , tough it out , and spend the money on attacking players

Has someone hacked his account?
Fish out for months
Lawlor out for an unknown period
Chambers dreadful at centre back last time we were in the Championship
Osho on crutches after Monday
BBM would be negligent if he didn't bring in a CB!
But don't worry Worcester - at the pace our transfers go we may get round to finding a new CB by the season after next.

Determining the likely hood of playing half a season with one fit CB(no return date set for Lawlor and Chambers, both having carried injuries before), and taking a measured approach to bring additional bodies into the squad to cover the position is sensible in my opinion

I just don't think it's necessary and it felt a bit knee jerk and this is why.
We have four CBs which should be enough. The problem with having five would be that when everyone is fit then three won't be playing in every matchday. Of course the ones not playing could get a game in cup competitions or if there's rotation again, but it just makes me slightly worried.
But it does seem I'm in the minority on that when it comes to our fans.

At present we have zero fit centre backs and that is the issue here.
I could understand your point of view if say 2 of our CB's were nearing full fitness but that is clearly not the case.
If push comes to shove, a short term loan would probably suffice.
