Middlesbrough vs Derby County - live chat
at 17:52 25 Nov 2020

I am feeling pretty good about tonight. The lads will want to come back from the Norwich defeat and Derby are in about as poor a position as it's possible to be just now. Hopefully we can take advantage. Would like to see a more attacking formation from Warnock with Roberts and potentially Watmore given a go.

Do Middlesbrough need another striker?

In general, I would say absolutely yes, both from a squad depth and tactical perspective. However, now that our only option is to add free agents, having looked over a list of the players that are available, it seems like it's really slim pickings. Anyone who is available either seems to be injury prone (e.g. Watmore) or reaching the end of their career (e.g. Sakho, Diomande) or both. Having already seen the fitness issues when trying to sign Sanogo, you'd have to wonder how many potential free agents would have the same problem. Of players who know the championship, Gestede is genuinely one of the better options and I don't think anyone from the club would be keen to have him back, including Warnock after his lack of willingness to play into his extended contract. So I think the best option is to wait until January and see if a better option presents itself rather than to hand a contract to a potentially injury-prone unfit stop gap player. If Warnock believes there is someone good enough and signs them then I'll be happy but I cant see who it would be.
