Turns recalled by Brighton, and signing for Crewe.

Only having 3 CBs in a squad is a dangerous game. We lost 2 in one game this time last season.

According to BBC, Turns has joined Crewe on loan.
I suppose Brighton weren't happy with the lack of games Turns was playing
Shame but he's been finding league 1 a little difficult, however we are now short of a centre back

We lost 3!

TJ, Brown and even Pratley can do a job there if necessary…..

Still far from ideal.

Having 4 is a bit of a luxury for a mid-table not going up/down side.

I wish him all the best. He helped us greatly last season and I was surprised he went down the pecking order this season.

If we run short of centre backs, wonder in an emergency, as to if Alan Thompson could be recalled from loan at Barnet ?

I hope not for his sake. He deserves an injury free run now, same goes for Drinnan !

I agree . I hope both go on to do really well at their new clubs because both of them always gave us 100%

Or his twin, Adam?

Still can't believe Sheff Wed didn't want him with a name like that.

seem to remember pratley pretty much playing an entire season at CB for charlton before signing for us and my charlton fan mate said he did very well, so that’s always an option, albeit we’re 3 years on from then now!
