As for free agents, the last one we picked up was Josh Martin so be careful what you wish for. Can't see us doing it. We have cover in midfield and at CB if needed, but we are getting close to Arry's bare bones.
Luckily there are only 15 games left. Hopefully we can get over the line.
I would still get some free agents in, there are some good players out there.
The likes of Lowery won't be able to play 3 times in 7 days.
Lowery doesn't need to play every game now we've got Moxon.
5 players out for the season must be some kind of record and if we get promotion despite that it will be a magnificient achievement and testament to the depth of the squad that Hughes & Mousinho have built
I make it that we currently have 22 fit players (but 3 of them keepers) and three more due back sometime from injury in Stevenson, Swanson & Anjorin. It's not quite bare bones but we certainly woud not want to lose any more.
As for dipping into the free agent market the only position we should consider that for is centre-back, but it's not absolutely crucial with Towler & Ogilvie as backup to the current two, but having a plan B in case of more injuires/suspensions would be sensible if there is someone good enough out there.
