Sean Dyche is not the same picture of agitation at Burnley this season. He is not as downcast about their prospects, not as openly incensed with inaction in the transfer market.
Yet that does not mean to say he is content. He realises new faces are required, particularly in the wide areas, where there remains an over-reliance on Dwight McNeil and constant concerns over Johann Berg Gudmundsson's potential for injuries.
Both walk into any team in the bottom half but Dyche requires more depth, with Lyon's Maxwel Cornet one of a number under consideration before the window closes.
