Derby County had a great start to life back in the Championship, but they have gradually fallen behind, and with only one victory in eight games, Paul Warne is desperate for the January transfer window to arrive soon.
The Rams have been inconsistent in recent weeks, and their current problems were made worse on Wednesday night when they lost 2-1 to Swansea City, a team in the midtable.
The East Midlands team had plenty of opportunities to win the game by at least a point, but a dismal first 20 minutes cost them dearly, leaving them with too much work to do. It was a very unpleasant evening for them.
Although acquiring a striker must be prioritised, Derby will also need to bolster another position in the near future as they prepare for the approaching January transfer window.
To bring in fresh, youthful players for the upcoming years, the Rams need to stick to the same plan they created for themselves more than ten years ago.
If signed, Ben Jackson might benefit Derby County in the same way as Craig Forsyth did. Right now, Pride Park has a number of players that are more than capable of playing left back in the Championship, including Craig Forsyth, Callum Elder, and Ben Osborn.
