A left back. Much needed, but 50 games ago.

Interesting signing, presumably short term. Bringing in a proper left back to cover the absences of Jones and Clark makes sense. If this makes the defence more solid in the remaining games, so much the better.

Worrell. Benning left the best wing backs in recent memory. Thank you David FAILCROFT. Our Director of football replaced them with WHO.
