IMO it is all down the squad size restrictions of 25 players. From memory we are on the limit as far as players are concerned and if we sign a loan player for the rest of the season it is then a question of who drops out to accomodate him. I also believe the whole of the defence will be looked at in the summer possibly with a view to this not happening again (if you can ever guarantee such a thing). For me this is where our youth players should be stepping up to the plate and being counted.
