Kris Temple Twitter Re January - AFCB

If above rumours re Rothwell and Lawrence are accurate (those sources are usually well informed) we’re looking at a new midfield. If true - that’s just what’s needed. Even one of those would be progress … better news after that awful experience last Saturday.

Is it the fault with the players or the way we are set up? With two wide players hugging the touchlines, one midfielder sitting deep and another looking to get forward, there is often acres of space in the centre of the pitch empty of our players. If one midfielder ventures into this space he often has few options for moving the ball up the field via triangular passing interchanges. Would it help the midfielders if the two wide players moved away from the touchlines more?

Makes you wonder with some of our players names being mentioned with other clubs if that is why we have seen a drop in form from them.

I think so. We've seen it before. I think from December onwards their agents are very active, so the players will always have a potential big move on their mind.
I really hate the winter transfer window !
I'd prefer it if we just had the summer window personally. All of this nicking players off one another during the current season skews the competition somewhat randomly I feel. It just adds a whole load of uncertainty to the whole outcome.
 
Interesting that L Cook was out v Hull too. Maybe him and Pearson will be offloaded, depending how things go with our targets?

There are rumours swirling around about Lewis but he's knee deep in a contract with us and I'm scratching my head thinking where could he go ? Stoke are big admirers of Pearson but I don't think they'll be doing business this window unless it's a loan as they are restricted by FFP rules.
