We’d already be in the playoffs if Dovin were fit. The team have fought so hard for that and he’s thrown it away. I’m really not one for criticising individual players, but it’s impossible to back him any more. Has to be Wilson next week.
I think it’s the ‘touches in the box’ metric that was the difference maker. They always had time and space in our box, and that shouldn’t happen. Our defence has a terrible habit of ball watching. The Brewster goal was a classic where everyone falls to the six yard box, and no one covers a man...
anyone else see that bit in the second half when MVE held off one of their players to let the ball go out for a goal kick, and then did that muscle man pose for the crowd? It‘s a tiny thing I know, but it was just so cool, and emblematic of that brilliant relationship between the players and the...
I’m not sure he controlled the game, but he definitely sets the tone. When he’s having one of his Kante games, when he’s everywhere, it just lifts the whole team. Thought Ebou Adams had a similar sort of game for Derby on Tuesday.
Just back from the game and that was sensational. Lampard has got them playing well and he must feel like he’s got a brand new £20m striker up front. The work rate from Allen, Grimes, Torp, MVE and Sakamoto was amazing. Even when we lost the ball you just knew we’d win it right back. Allen must...
The first goal wasn’t BTAs fault. Our whole back four and two of our midfielders were in position when he lost it. The fact that 3 Stoke players managed to beat six Cov players so easily is entirely down to our defending. It reminded me slightly of the goal conceded at home to Sheff Wed where we...
I think that’s the problem though, we’re not trying to ‘imagine’ anything. We’re trying to make a comparison using stats derived from their actual contribution to games. I’m sure CoH is having a good season, but I wouldn’t swap him for Rudoni.
Sheffield United finished 19 points above us the...
