As has been correctly said many times play LR at left back and we lose his defensive/attacking option at right midfield. The loan window closes on 25th Nov so it is vital we get a cover in before then as the alternatives of Chicksen or Calderon do not bare thinking of if we are to push on...
Wide options are not the concern LR is a wide defensive option especially for away games to which we have no alternative players so lets get a loan signing in ASAP
Like CH before the game I would have said with Murphy back we could and should have won the game so sensible to rest Stephens if there was a slight doubt. Hindsight says that wasnt the correct move.
If it is a long term injury I would want neither Rosenior or Calderon to fill in I would sooner look at a young Premier loan. If cruciate ligaments that could be most of the season out.
