Well the thing is, Jim, that it was a risk loaning out Mumba, but in the context of

Right Back, not Left Back.

On the right we have only Aarons and Byram before we need to drop to Sorensen as a makeshift.

We can't really say the left back crisis was caused by that "error" as we had Giannoulis and McCallum plus two players who have done a very good job in that role in the past Sorensen and Byram before we would get to Mumba.

Is just really unlucky. When he went out on loan I did think it was a risk for RB, but I also don't know whether McCallum could fill in on that side if required and if he could then yes we would be holding on to Mumba ,without him getting a game, just in case we worked our way down to 5th choice or something.
