To state the obvious, that's a big loss. Reinforcements needed.

Huge huge loss. Think DF is going to need to start looking at a few free agents.

At least he can get decent treatment over at QPR.

Think people are getting carried away with just how good he is. He is half decent yes but we are conceding goals either way so who knows it may be a blessing

Alex Davey is still available on a free, Power likes him and had him here on trial last season, ex Chelsea youth played at Scunthorpe, Peterborough and Crawley.

Also Sébastien Bassong is available on a free Wink

Haven't looked closely enough at the numbers, but anecdotally we seem to have a much better record with him than without him. Even on Saturday, we lost 2-1 without him (if you see what I mean?).

He's not a superstar, but the concern is the gap in quality between him and his replacement Robertson.

Massive loss. He's a very good defender and excellent on the ball.  Robertson and Lancashire are essentially the same type of centre back and don't complement each other very well.  Guess Purkiss is an option at CB.

Get Purkiss in CB see how that goes and hopefully Knoyle will be fit soon so Both Purkiss and Robertson will just become cover. Lets see what the full extent of Conroy's injury is. I think we can do emergency loans anyway and the freebie is always there.

I am pretty sure emergency loans only cover goalkeepers now, similar to how it used to be in April and May after the deadline closed.

This is what fucked Power over last season, as unlike the previous year he couldn't call for the Louis/Gladwin cavalry when the wheels fell off in autumn.
 
I'd imagine the decision was made by Flitters to gamble on only 3 centre halves... he may have even thought Conor Thomas could step in at a push, only to realise it made more sense to ship him out.  I'm not sure where the evidence is that Purkiss can play centre half  Hmmm  Anybody got some?

Looks like the free agent market will have to be the first port of call....
