It’s only a short window until January, but there’s 18 games or so in that time. We’ve got a big enough squad to cope, defensively. Defensively, we’re ok, but in midfield I think we’re short. And now Brett Pitman has pulled his groin and he’s out for a month. Now we’re short on out-and-out strikers as well.”
