Not sure how it works throughout the transfer window but it looks like you can take one out and replace with another up until the deadline on February 1st If we can get a creative hard working Central midfielder on loan from Abroad and a Right back our current squad would look like this.

Neil Etheridge keeper
Alex Smithies keeper
Brian Murphy keeper
Lee Peltier Right back
Jazz Richards remove to replace with new Right back
Matthew ConnollyPOSSIBLY LEAVING SO WE COULD ADD HEALY OR WARD TO SQUAD? OR KEEP jAZZ IN?
Bruno Manga Centre half
Sean Morrison OUT UNTIL LATE MARCH POSSIBLY center half
Sol Bamba Centre Half
Joe Bennett Left back
Greg Cunningham Left Back
Loic Damour remove to replace with new Centre Midfielder Midfield
Aron Gunnarsson Midfield
Harry Arter Midfield
Joe Ralls Midfield
Victor Camarasa Midfield
Callum Paterson UTILITY????
Josh Murphy Winger
Kadeem Harris Winger
Junior Hoilett Winger
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing Winger
Bobby Reid striker
Kenneth Zohore striker
Danny Ward remove for Oumar Niasse striker
Gary Madine replaces with Emiliano Sala striker

That possibly gives us 4 strikers if we get rid of Healey and Ward and keep Jazz
We will have 4 wingers
We will have 5 midfield
We will have 2 centre halfs plus Morrison and the new right back may be able to play there or keep Connerly
A utility player
2 Left and 2 right backs
3 keepers

I may have messed that up but you get the gist of it, do you all think adding a Central midfielder and Right back or can play anywhere across the back will keep us up? I think it gives us a decent chance but its going to be tough after 2 poor performances albeit with injuries etc, but if we get these two additional players I think the club have spent money and given the team a fighting chance to do it, but its up to them now and NW, all we can do is support them all the way.

I think yesterday showed how little depth we have, ideally need more than 2.

but realise how difficult thats going to be and not just financially.

We have a young keeper not needed in the 25 man squad to call on so I would drop Murphy from the squad with 15 games to go and utilise his spot with a outfield player .

No need for 3 keepers when we have youth as back up

Healy can certainly go back to MK Dons or released for me.
