I think you are splitting hairs to be honest. The big issue at the club is the lack of goals and the inability to sign decent centre forwards. If our goalscoring record was better there would not be the same pressure on the back four to keep clean sheets week after week after week. Any replacement for Turnbull and Davies, particularly a loanee, is unlikely to be as good as them given the wider budget constraints.I’d agree that we’re stronger defensively, but if any of the back four are missing lacking in cover. Jameson while overall
not a terrible player, seems to have a mistake in him almost every game. My original remark was, assuming we were at budget limitation, rather than loaning in two young wide players, we could have done better making one of those loans a young defender. Always a gamble as to whether overall they’d be any better than Jameson but it would give a choice.
However, NAPOs remarks about the budget have made me wonder. The three names they list would likely cost more than Saunders, unclear if we’d have still bought Harvey had one of those deals gone through. So there would still have been some money in the kitty to put towards bringing in another defender.
For all our attacking failings in this game, if we’d defended adequately would have come away with a point.
