Failure to replace the quality that was allowed to leave in the summer in the shape of Adam Davies, Liam Lindsay and Ethan Pinnock, put Daniel Stendel and his team behind the eight-ball in terms of being competitive once back in the Championship.

Leon Wobschall joins Phil Harrison to discuss the season so far and what lies in wait when the campaign finally resumes.
