Always a very frustrating window January.

Farke is having a good look at either Tanaka or Rothwell at 10 first according to YEP, for me if there's a good one available and it's affordable we'd be fools not to. This season we simply must go up otherwise it will be very tricky next year.

I think it would more likely to be changed to a 4141 or 433 if he plans to play all 3 of them.

Rothwell might go well as the 10 but not sure he has the legs to cover the ground Aaronson does.
Not that I think Aaronson is the answer but he does run around a lot.
Greenwood`s doing well on loan but I don`t think we can recall him unlike Gyabi.
We really need to bring someone in on loan McAtee would be my preferred choice.

Burnley didn`t look anything special last night other than solid.
Have to say compared to some of the teams at the top we do look like a team of midgets up against some big blokes.
Although I keep telling my partner size doesn`t matter!
Surprised he has kept Aaronson in the 11 today so let`s hope he bags a couple of goals or assists to prove the doubters wrong.
The wind could be a leveller today.

Comfortable win today and could should have won 4 or 5 nil.
Thought Rodon was really good along with Rothwell who seemed to be everywhere today.
Should be giving Wober another game at LB but feel he will be tested more on Tuesday.

As Billy Davies famously said, “ job done”. Nothing less was expected, the only surprise was just how bad Derby actually were. Nice to see Rodon get off the mark and Ramazani get some more minutes under his belt. Aaronson obviously doesn’t read the socials because he played like last week never happened, not always the best end product but you can’t fault the lad’s effort. Not great that Firpoe bit the dust but Wober stepped up pretty well, although as Chapy said Tuesday will be a different kettle of fish for all the players. And now, at the risk of Tad having another breakdown and being admitted to a psychiatric unit, the negatives. The left hand side offensively is looking more and more like a cul de sac, Solomon as an inverted winger isn’t working for me. All the penetration is coming down the right from Bogle and James, we really do need a lot more from the left hand side in the final third. Also, I can’t remember the last time our centre forward actually challenged for an aerial ball from a wide area in the box. Farke needs to tell him to start acting like a centre forward. Anyway, I’m down there Tuesday and looking forward to it. Boro will be a real test and we need everyone performing at somewhere near their best. COYW.

if james could cross a ball piroe could have had a hat trick. Time and again he was in space in the box and james never beat the first man.. anyone expecting piroe to battle centre half's should be evaluated by a psychiatrist.
piroe isn't a 9 in the traditional sense, he won't fight a centre half. never has. but he will always find a yard of space in the box. but he needs good service.
I think ramanazzi starts left when fit. Solomon looks good in parts but has never quite clicked consistently

Yeah agree. Wober did very well considering how little he's played. looked hungry and the goal was excellent movement. He's an asset at this level. Job done, played well. Big test Tuesday.

Is anyone else concerned at the lack of size of the team compared to the teams we face?

We look like a schoolboy team playing against an adult side

Yeh I posted it further back mate.
We have a team of midgets compared to many of the teams around us.
I think tomorrow we could have Byram RB Wober LB both will struggle with the pace of their wingers so will need cover from our wide men to help out.
I think Gnonto and James on the wings if nothing else but to help out our defence.
