I have already praised today big time and Malky/the team

:ayatollah: :ayatollah:

But today showed, our squad needs strengthening ASAP and in January maybe more?
If we want to be top 2 we need a bigger squad?

Didn't it sort of show we have the depth to still beat a 2nd placed team with two early injuries and a couple of teenagers in defence?

Obviously agree if the injuries today do not get back playing in a week or Mutch, Cowie and McNaughton are still out next week.

Wayne to me it showed our youngsters are finally come through and we have a team with passion and fight and of course quality, but we need strength in depth, any more injuries and we wont get away with it.

A couple of experienced heads joining on loan would be just the thing for us to push on and not lose any ground on the teams around us, Boro have 2 home games coming up and we have 2 away's, so not the time to be short on numbers.

Annis today we showed true commitment but I agree we need cover for our defence. Every player today worked their socks off I just hope the next two away games we show the same determined spirit and bring home the points.

Malky has until Thursday to bring in cover we have needed since August. VT needs to give our manager the go ahead to bring in quality to push us on to the EPL.

It's been the case all season that we needed more cover at full back but it's even more of a priority now.

Definitely, you know there's a problem when a youngster comes on for Ben Turner and Joe Ralls, another youngster, who's not even a defender comes on for Andrew Taylor...

Yep too right mate, all we need now is another defender to get some kind of injury in training and we are really in the shit. I really think we need a quality striker too.

It depends, if Kev is back we don't need to loan anyone.

It doesn't send a great message out to the youngsters if MM do well, make the team, perform well against a top team..... Then ill replace you with a loan.

I've very rarely seen us loan a good fullback.

IMHO we must be looking until January for perm signings and not loans now.

I tend to go along with this.

That win yesterday was the sign of a group of players that work hard together in training
and are willing to sweat blood for the cause. We all remember the great JLS when he graced
Cardiff City with his presence :evil:

Every team in this division, given the number of injuries we have in key positions would be struggling
right now. Its testament to the infrastructure Malky is putting in place here that we have young lads
obviously ready to step up to the plate when needed.

We will turn the corner re: injuries in the next couple of weeks.

then watch us go!!!
