Centre Half Mike Te Wierik has already been added to the squad, but there a other needs as we look ahead to the 202/21 season.
Top of the list will be a goalkeeper. Neither Kelle Roos nor Ben Hamer who is on loan from Huddersfield are a long term solution. Both have made costly errors and a safe pair of hands is needed! I would suggest that two goalkeepers wouldn't go amiss! The back up has to be good enough to take over when the first choice is injured.
Morgan Fox the former Sheffield Wednesday Left Back has been rumoured to be on Derby's radar and already people have been asking why we would need another player in that position. Well the fact is Craig Forsyth has had some off games since the return though he has done tremendously well coming back from a third ACL injury. Max Lowe still hasn't made the position his and Scott Malone would appear to have dropped down the pecking order.
A winger will surely be on the list of needs. Florian Jozefzoon has failed to impress again and could be heading for the exit door.
Uo front Chris Martin has yet to sign a new contract though I believe he will, but Jack Marriott has struggled with injuries and failed to make much of an impact. Another striker is desirable!
Og the youngsters that have made it through from the Under 18/23 teams Max Bird, Louie Sibley and Jason Knight look to have made valid claims to be part of the first team squad when we restart.
Morgan Whittaker is highly rated, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him loaned out to gain some experience.
The EFL charge of us exceeding P&S limits is unlikely to be concluded before this season ends and if Mel Morris's claims are correct I see us avoiding a points deduction. If the decision goes against us and we start on minus points that will obviously have an effect on which players will sign for us.
Fingers crossed all will end well.
