Despite the amount of goals we seem to have conceded on last season, Gurney the player wouldn't have probably made that much difference.
Jenkins seems a worthy enough replacement but perhaps having him still in the squad may well have prevented a lot of King's tinkering and may have just helped maintain more of a stable formation/side.
There is a good post from BigStan on the Adver regarding Saturday’s game that highlights the lack of defensive players on the bench.
