Yahoo Sports Rams need 'quality' in transfer window - Steele
Derby County must act during the winter transfer window to add greater depth of quality to their Championship side, says former Rams goalkeeper and coach Eric Steele.
With striker Josh Windass coming off the bench to score an incredible goal for Sheffield Wednesday from his own half and Anthony Musaba also coming on as a substitute to score in the New Year's Day 4-2 win over Derby, Steele said the result was the latest to expose the gulf that exists between the Rams' squad and others in the division.
"It shows the level and the budget really comes into play," he told BBC Radio Derby. "It says we are not competing on an even playing field when you see they [Sheffield Wednesday] had four strikers, they brought two on and they both scored.
"We really have suffered. We can put out a best XI that can compete, but at the moment we can't compete with some of the substitute benches we have got opposite.
"That really came to be our downfall the other night. Two subs come on, one scores an absolute worldie and Musaba gets the fourth goal and that is the end of the game for Derby.
"It's a worry for Paul Warne with a window starting now, he has got to get more quality."
