End of the day no side can cover that many injuries in space of a few weeks in one position and not have a drastically weakened backline.
Tbh I'm worried - think we could struggle to hold it together in the run-in with the injuries we've got - hate to say it but can see us ending up with f.u.c.k all because of it despite clearly being the best side int he country this season.
