    Match Thread Sheffield Utd (a) - 12:30 - Sat 20th

    Everyone doing their job well - no need to look for faults. We look very comfortable against a good side. Sheaf and Kane standing out on the ball and Allen and McFadzean off it.

    OH OW. Sheaf having a good game and showing exactly what he’s capable of. Everyone ok?

    They are a team full of “names” who I expected a lot more from. Don’t want to curse anything obviously…. We look comfortable, but definitely more to give.

    Bright start but we’ve dropped off. That’s was absolutely class take down and lay off from Gyokeres. He’s definitely scoring today.

    Looking forward to it, I hate the international break it’s boring. I’d want to see us keep two up front, but if Skybluebeliever says otherwise then it’s unlikely. Not the end of the world though. Interested to see Kane from the start again. 0-2, Gyokeres, Hyam. On a side note I really hope...

    O’Hare

    I don’t disagree - I’ve made the same points about the importance of O’Hare - so not too sure why you’ve quoted my post. In fact the one you quoted was a compliment if anything.

    Todd Kane/Michael Rose/Gyok

    I wouldn’t bring Kane in yet, his final ball is far superior but if we want to play on the front foot Dabo is the option. Saying that, his form isn’t great, I’m hoping it’s temporary and not the step up. No way I’d drop Gyokeres. He hasn’t scored or been quite as pivotal but the ball sticks to...

    O’Hare

    Don’t often like your posts, but use of the phrase ‘tossed themselves off’ made me genuinely laugh.

    You keep saying stuff like this. Genuine question; where are you getting that information from?

    Some crazy and assuming emotive scores on here. I think I watched a different game to some. Management team have to take the slack for the last 20/30 minutes, it was crying out for pace and balls over the top, through the gaps for players to run onto. They potentially tried to address that by...

    O’Hare

    Yes he’s in need of a rest but there’s no way you can drop him, as alternatives are considerably weaker. Allen isn’t good enough to play 10 considering the amount of ball COH sees, and Jones is nowhere near (whether that’s temporary or permanent remains to be seen). Other than his inability to...

    Swansea (H) - Tuesday 2nd - 19:45

    I want Jones to come good - both from a sentimental perspective, but more importantly as we need an alternative to COH. But I don’t think I was watching the same as some of you tonight. Granted there was a nice turn and perhaps one decent run, but he looked slow/nervy on the ball and rusty -...

    Swansea (H) - Tuesday 2nd - 19:45

    Yep, not the point I was making. Attacking threat is a lot more than a good final ball. Completely agree Kanes is miles better, but Dabo’s all round attacking ability is stronger - either on the ball or as an outlet off it he helps drag us up the pitch. Kane won’t do that.

    Swansea (H) - Tuesday 2nd - 19:45

    We haven’t been dire or terrible. Nowhere near our best, but as I said before Swansea are a very very good team. Considering how high there line is, then Sheaf for Allen is a good call as he’s a lot better on the ball, so can both help retain it and find attacking through balls. Walker has...

    Swansea (H) - Tuesday 2nd - 19:45

    Not sure how Bennett is still on the pitch, two definite yellows in a row and the COH one was ridiculously cynical. Swansea are very good, so let’s not be too downbeat on us. They are the best footballing team I’ve seen. Defensively they are vulnerable. Not sure which two strikers are the...

    May have to miss this one as my partner isn’t feeling great, so my plan is to hope the kids fall asleep early and she’s so tired/ill/doesn’t care and I can drive up and make kick off, or worse case at least I have iFollow to fall back on. Swansea have improved and are enjoying their football...

    Match Thread Hull City (A) - Sat 30th Oct - 3pm KO

    We’ve stepped up a little again and look dangerous when we attack, we just aren’t doing anywhere near enough. Since L2 it’s been the same - we look much much worse when we sit back, yet it seems to be a security blanket for MR. Sheaf very involved after an (unfortunately) trademark poor pass...

    Harsh on Walker, but Godden adds more energy and it seems that is what MR is after. Let’s hope Sheaf is on it, as him and Hamer are technically very good.

    Mate is on the train from New Street and said it’s full of Derby - as is my train. Plus a fair few Cov fans - atmosphere will be electric today. Only annoyance I can hear them interacting and clearly both sets of fans know next to nothing about the team - including players names. Nice to see...

    Really excited for tomorrow. Definitely expecting a performance after the disappointment of Wednesday. JCS back in for Rose - predominantly for the balance. Allen for Kelly - his energy and drive will help us play on the front foot which we need. Hoping Gyokeres is fit - think he’ll do really...
