Could work in theory, but that would only work if the 2 up top are sufficient quality. With what we have available, they're not.

Your obsession with 2 up top is a bit daft. How many of the top 10 highest scoring teams in the Championship play with a front 2 do you think?

Exactly. Hence my fear with playing a back 4 & diamond or similar like others are suggesting, we'd get destroyed down the flanks.

Rotherham manager Paul Warne on Giles:

It went to Hamer on the day. I'd expect James would make the most sense.

And he was right every time, look at the direction the club has gone since.

He turned down a new deal with Blackpool in the summer thinking he could get a Championship move but none were interested. He then got released by a Turkish 2nd Division team after failing to secure a regular place in their team. Now the best he can get is a Scottish Championship team yet some...

0 Goals 1 Assist Assists can be one of the most misleading stats going though for reasons I've mentioned before. His xA (expected assists) was exceptional at 3.54, the highest of any wing-back or full back in the Championship.

If that's meant to be Nuno the face tech is worse than ever 😆

No, I just follow football. Rotherham have played every game since November with wing-backs. Their left wing-back (Mattock) has been injured since early December (in the game against us), they've been using a CM & a RB as makeshifts & have been chasing a LWB since the window opened... Not...

Reid I'd assume but Dacosta can play there too. We have Norwich in just over 3 weeks so will no doubt see then.

He's joining Rotherham to play wing-back.

🤣 Thankfully he's signing for Hearts so we can put it to bed once & for all!

That's idealistic though. Who's available on a free in January that's: A) Better than what we have B) On same/less money C) Good enough to be first choice even when everyone else is fit or content to be 4th/5th choice?

Doubt we'd get much cash, it would just ease the wage bill but then what if Gyökeres gets injured?

I know how most will see it but really this is good news. Looks like Robins felt he had to shift him to free up funds but doesn't need to any longer so will keep him as backup until Godden & Walker are fit.

That's correct. In fairness to Giles though, his Expected Assists (xA) is good at 3.54 compared to McCallum's 1.15 - seems we've just failed to capitalise on the chances.

Their manager says not: https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/ross-county/2840938/john-hughes-reveals-defender-josh-reid-will-not-return-to-ross-county-on-loan-if-he-completes-coventry-city-move/

Which given the rate we shipped goals early on makes perfect sense.
