I don't know if anyone has mentioned this point yet in terms of a reason to get another Centre Back in is that it provides us with more options in terms of formation, alongside our recent woes of conceding sloppy goals. This year we have played against a back 3 / 5 two or three times (Peterborough and Sunderland) are the ones I can 100% say and in those games their full backs / wing backs had great success against us through conceding two goals down our left flank and the oppositions RWB scoring.
I think by getting another centre back in and providing us the ability to play three at the back it allows our full backs who aren't that great defending, getting further up the pitch. In addition when we have an injury to Gorrin or the CDM we don't have to play that shielding player in front of the back free and allows for more options up pitch and potentially playing Winnall and Taylor together.
I would just like to see it as an option rather than the recent oxford attitude of do plan A better.
