Any confirmation of this yet ?

[Mrs Warbouys]

3 games according to FA suspensions list, need someone in on loan if he's out for 3 and Crowther has a cracked rib. Can't split the CB pairing again

[MarpleAlty]

OK I'll start the loan suggestions for Lee - although I accept these players might be out-of-reach budget-wise...

Laurence Wilson at Morecambe has been out injured since 23rd Aug - by all accounts he's one of their favourite players; at that point they were P4 W4 - and their form has dipped since.

At the moment they've drafted in Joe Widdowson (who can't get a game at Bury) as cover - he's with them up until late October.

So there's 2 options - enquire with Bury about Widdowson once his loan finishes, or (even better) ask Morecambe if they want to give us Wilson (the higher-rated of the 2) for match fitness - I assume a slightly less fit Wilson would be adequate for us given his calibre.

Why do you want to take injured players on loan

Ludicrous

[AltyTunnelSteward]

Also please bear in mind that one of the games os an FA Cup tie (maybe 2 if we need a replay). I would be surprised if any loan player we got was allowed by his parent club to get cup tied

[Jenga]

We cannot afford to drop any points this season if we want to stay up. We are already in the relegation zone.

A bit of cash for a few games may just save us at the end of the season as I can see it going down to the wire.

We use everything available to us, but I very much doubt we will see anyone come in, it is just not the Alty way, we prefer to fly by the seat of our pants at time.

The lad's got to play again at some point! He was scheduled to be out for 6-8 weeks - it's hardly an ACL snap is it. Cav came to us without a pre-season and started well.

What's to say he's not had a run out in their reserves but Morecambe would prefer him to get some competitive game time before putting him back in?

It was an open forum suggestion about a good LB that could feasibly be available, and nothing more than that

a good point.

Williams is on loan to Celtic - depending on the where the lad is in recovery process players may he may be seeking match time.  Simple to me.  If he's still conked out then there's no point.

[Mrs Warbouys]

We can't recall williams I don't think

[Timperley The Best]

Don't think Leather at left back and bringing Marshall back in is the answer .

[MarpleAlty]

Don't think Leather at left back and bringing Marshall back in is the answer .

Agreed - although we all know that's what Lee's going to do.

I think we need to address this NOW, because splitting up Havern and Leather in winnable games could be disastrous come the end of the season.

James Smith spotted at the ground last Saturday.
Could he still do a job for us?
Failing that play Cav at left back. Least disruption to rest of back four and should have the experience to make a fist of it there.

I agree what we must not do is disrupt the current CB pairing again.  

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

Cav to right back and Dens to left back would even be better than breaking up the Havern/Leather partnership.

You think Cav can play anywhere because he is old?
