The issue is, do they get thrown straight back in once again out of neccesity and then we await the inevitable break down once more? I don't see how we can do anything but that at this point. Have to hope they can hold it together until January and then reinforcements might afford us the chance to get players properly fit.
Even if none of them were notoriously injury prone, it was absolutely criminal to go into the season with just 6 defenders.
