It’s a thing that really irritates the hell out of me. The worst offenders are Eccles, Thomas and Binks when he plays. For christ sake, sometimes row Z is the play. We put ourselves under so much pressure to retain possession which will only end up with either centre back anyway.

He’s what you get in a striker for £2m. The proximity of his miss to us conceding has made it look worse. In reality he’s the least of our worries. The mentality of this squad is as brittle as you’ll see.

Work rate. Simple as that

Carelessness

It’s Bassette rather than Sheaf as we’re away at a place where we’ll need players to cover lots of ground hassling and harrying. Step forward BTA and Bassette

The issue isn’t really who has the last say. The issue is that we are operating in a rigid wage structure. You can identify as many players as you want but the crunch comes when you only have a certain top offer. You get the likes of Stamenic going elsewhere. You obviously have to find players...

Why are some so keen to get rid of Sheaf. Our best midfielder by a long way and in an area where the pool is shallow. If we get a ridiculous bid fair enough. If not try and shift Allen or Torp and free up wages. We would seriously regret selling Sheaf.

Absolutely huge risk if we let him go now. We need two in the door before he goes out. He’s a top notch championship midfielder. Our priority should be to keep him. If it was this time next year with 6 months of contract left it’s a different story.

And he had a certain John Sillett as youth team manager.

Christ - season over?? We’ve been in L2, not played in the city. Had points deductions. Not paid a transfer fee in years. Not sold anyone for more than tuppence. Enjoy where we are, it’s night and day to the recent past.

Oh I understand how it works. It’s where we lack a good leader to knock a few heads together and tell them to stop being such ridiculous playground prats.

I think this does highlight one of our biggest issues. When we get into goalscoring positions our decision making firstly and execution secondly is really bad. I get that confidence is low and we’re snatching at things etc. But I’ve lost count of the games where we’ve dominated etc only for the...

Three managers being Robins who signed him, Carr for a few games and Lampard for 6-7. It’s hardly conclusive. Robins lost his job largely because in a team without Kitching we conceded shocking amounts of piss poor goals. We’ve hardly been non sieve like under Lampards short tenure. Maybe giving...

Easy to row in behind popular opinion. The case is that for good periods of last season he was our best defender and played in the best defensive partnership we had alongside Thomas. He is the only defender we have with a semblance of aggression. For some reason we’ve had the likes of non...

What’s all this rubbish about “bad eggs”. If we have a bunch of players who can’t put effort in for 90 minutes for good money just because they aren’t all best friends then they aren’t the players we need. No wonder we’re so “nice” on the pitch. Probably trying not to win so the opposition don’t...

You do realise there are 10 other players in both sides

It’s a strange one. If you assume it’s all down to him you have to say he’s identified some good players. The problem is there isn’t a cohesive shape or style. Is that his issue? The only piss poor signings I’d say are Torp, Binks, Collins and Dasilva. You can make a case for the rest at the...

The issues are we have a lop sided squad. No depth or craft in midfield. Lots of centre backs non of whom are very good and some talented forwards that are stacked on the left or centre. We lack a natural leader and a playmaker.

Read somewhere we’re going to have some experience and know how incoming. We really need it. Especially in the middle of the park.

He’s a 2m ch for me. Very basic. Heads it. Clears it. Basic.
