Leicesterpool Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 With St Ledger getting injured i can see even more problems at the back, De Laet seems to pick up injures quite often. Looking at our back four it already looks weak as it is, if Nigel does decide to bring in a loan signing then my suggestion would be for possibly young upcoming defender Nathan Baker from villa, not sure if villa would loan him to the foxes but even if its a short loan it really would boost our defence even more? Anymore suggestions?
ousefox Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 Can always get an emergency loan if anybody gets injured where we don't have cover, like Konchesky, but otherwise, no.
Milton Keynes Fox Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 All our defenders: 1.Moore 2.Morgan 3.Whitbread 4.St Ledger 5.De Laet 6.Konchesky Injured at the moment: St Ledger I think we'll be fine
kingfox Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 A LeicesterPool Poll To answer the question, I think we could do with a back-up left back and that is all. If St Ledger is injured we got Whitbread or Moore to step in at centre back, while De Laet will play right-back.
Dan Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 Possibly, hard to say really. I'd probably edge towards yes so I vote that. The defence is looking far better but there's still work to do really and you do worry we'll be in trouble if there is a couple of injuries.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 Let's have an overview of our defensive cover by who can play in which positions: RB: De Laet Moore St Ledger CB: Morgan St Ledger Whitbread Moore De Laet LB: Konchesky De Laet Schlupp
Langoh Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 Someone in a loan couldn't hurt, preferably someone who can play multiple positions at the back, just as back up, especially for Konch.
nickelbyfox Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 Someone in a loan couldn't hurt, preferably someone who can play multiple positions at the back, just as back up, especially for Konch. Agree
itsbenji Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 Don worry. We have Schlupp as cover for left back remember! 👌
Guest Col city fan Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 I don't think we need one now no. Bloody hope Wes don't pick up an injury though.
Tielemans63 Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 I don't think we need one now no. Bloody hope Wes don't pick up an injury though. Relax Col - he's made of wurtzite boron nitride and is virtually indestructible.
Guest Col city fan Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 Relax Col - he's made of wurtzite boron nitride and is virtually indestructible. Is that the same stuff that the blonde totty was made of in Terminator 3?
Tielemans63 Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 Is that the same stuff that the blonde totty was made of in Terminator 3? Think it was. She's a tad more attractive than Wes too!
marty78 Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 It depends how long SSL is out for really. The last thing we want is to be collecting players like years gone by. If we need anything on short term loan though it would be a defender but otherwise I think stick with what we have until January then try and strengthen with one or two players with an actual long term future here, finances allowing of course.
steveherbe Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 George Taft anyone? Risky I know, but after a couple of wines, why not? There's also a good lad from Reading, Angus McDonald - but only because he played against my boy at under 10's!! Currently on loan at AFC Wimbledon - and has not looked good, despite being captain of an England under something-or -other squad, Failing those, I'm sure Washy or Matt Elliott could still do a job!!
Grewks Posted 7 October 2012 Posted 7 October 2012 I think Np should use the next couple of weeks to look at who is available. I wouldn't say a particular position is required to be filled, but if there is someone out there who wants a loan move (for example one of the many at brum who have fell out with lee clark - marlon king?). We have enough numbers in my opinion, but possibly lacking quality, especiall up top. If nuge gets injured i dont feel too confident on waggy, futacs or vardy to bag enough. Although i think we all have to accept that we have a very good first 11, and 3-4 subs. But imagine we did get promoted this season, we would have to bring in a lot of players, we need to make use of the loan market now, and make some key signings in jan if we are still in this position.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 8 October 2012 Posted 8 October 2012 Sean St Ledger â€@seanstledger12 out for a minimum four weeks gutted to be missing the qualifiers but the aviva gonna be some atmosphere on Friday night! #COYBIG@FAIreland

Marlon King is a cvnt, I don't want him anywhere near this club, I don't see any point in brining in a loan for the sake of it, if we get another defensive injury then maybe we should see who is available, but I would go for experience over youth in this situation. We certainly don't need any more attacking players, and certainly not convicted sex offenders like Marlon King.
Iwan is a Welshman Posted 8 October 2012 Posted 8 October 2012 Why are people obsessed with chopping and changing the squad? We need a bit of stability!

m00nie Posted 8 October 2012 Posted 8 October 2012 thought james can play in defence also. and we got the 2 week break now
Guest Col city fan Posted 8 October 2012 Posted 8 October 2012 thought james can play in defence also. and we got the 2 week break now About time we saw what Whitbread could do I guess?
m00nie Posted 9 October 2012 Posted 9 October 2012 About time we saw what Whitbread could do I guess? yes, plus with the names listed AND james and a 2 week break i dont see why we would need another defender. im sure NP said in an interview a while back once ZW fit he imagines him to play most games as hes that caliber of a defender
Daveaway Posted 9 October 2012 Posted 9 October 2012 I say no, we have more than enough also nearly a two week break time to get them fit again
