Good luck with that. ;)

If you asked me which of Colback or Sheaf has a 100 PL appearances, I'd pick out Sheaf.

There's been at least 5 times where he he has driven forward and just stopped when he got to 25 yards out. (Goooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll) No cross, no taking on his man. Just checks his run and passes backwards.

Rose limping about near the touchline. Doesn't look good.

I think it's significant Godden has kept the armband. I expect he will drop back out when Hyma is available again.

He's been poor on the ball but he's either having to win it himself or receiving it from a 25 yard pass. Never had the wingbacks up with him and has got very few options to pass to. Same problem when Allen and Shipley were in the box. The options when he gets the ball are too telegraphed. Need...

Sheaf and Hamer too deep in that half. The starting position was 10 yards higher when they were in a 3 with Shipley last week. Big hole between them and the strikers as a result and it's sucking one of the strikers deep and we're virtually back to playing the ineffective box again. Giles...

I think he's a very natural athlete and works hard but not a very natural footballer. If he was 170cm I bet he'd have never made it through youth ranks but size still gets you a long way in youth football even if it isn't the be all and end all it was 25 years ago. He'll close a keeper down...

I'd exchange Allen first, then we can get 3 million for Shipley in the summer on the back of his 10 goals.

Can't wait to see Giles running at Grimmer. Lovely bloke but it's incredible that he's a Championship fullback.

I regret never having seen him play in our box formation, it would have suited him so much more than the increased defensive responsbilities he had at the base of midfield in our 4-2-3-1. It was never a natural position for him.

I hope we play some Weezer over the tannoy when he finally appears for us.

Grendel is glass half empty. He'd see a Pessometrist.

He didn't arrive until the end August, told us in his signing interview his fitness was off because he hadn't played for ages and just as he was getting minutes off the bench for us he got COVID. Robins has literally said last night that if he was fit he would have played instead of Biamou. In...

So you do really rate him then. We were unbeaten with that formation before his injury and then didn't win in the formation after it and his absence from it caused MR to change the whole formation...... You don't change a formation at half time in a game because someone got injured 3 and a half...

We played 4 more games in the same formation after his injury. How have you made that leap?

I see what you're saying. For me the box was fundamentally broken at this level though with the players we have available to play in it, so for me no amount of gel was ever going to work and yesterday's changes is the justification of that. I look back at the Middlesboro game as 3 points lost -...

You must really rate Jobello if you think him being missing was the difference when we lost 0-4 to Rotherham, 0-1 to Tranmere, failed to score at MK Dons and were losing 1-0 at HT vs Fleetwood.

Good then that our 3rd or 4th choice back up striker got into those positions on his first ever start in the Championship against the run away league leaders who had previously only conceded 3 goals in 8 games.
