Haji Wright was amazing v Sunderland: if he can produce anything like that today, think we will win :) TBH Simms played well v Hull (received unfair criticism as usual), those 2 turn up today we should be fine despite any other frailties

Since an abject performance (and he certainly wasn't alone) away to Portsmouth, he has improved steadily and currently deserves to start ahead of Bidwell.

Lati is a whole-hearted player, but he moves like Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz

Hull, Hell and Halifax...!

Fair point - I am not having a go at him, just been disappointing for a while. Unfortunately, he may also hold back slightly for the very reason you mention...

Sheaf has been indifferent all season, hope I am wrong but can see him being hauled off for Allen on the hour as we will have 2 'sitting' midfielders getting in each others way. I still think we will get a result tonight though. And as others have said, our bench has been weaker than this at...

We need to keep Wright (and I think we will). Sheaf is no longer a big loss to us, so long as he is replaced suitably. Right back is the interesting one: if MVE goes we probably need 2 decent right -sided defenders rather than one.

Straight away I thought it reminded me of a goal by Fadz, but couldn't remember who it was against... I jumped up so quickly from my seat to celebrate the winner that I actually felt dizzy. Must be getting old :)

I'd have brought on Haji Wright to take it... and then subbed him again if his lack of fitness was an issue!!

For me, I think we need to pick our most resilient and physical team v Preston. What that is, don't know. I wouldn't play Sakamoto though, think he would be kicked from pillar to post.

Today was karma for the cruel defeat at Norwich... things always balance out over a season :)

Collins ahead of Wilson on the bench is an interesting call...

Great to see EMC on bench

Same here. He is developing into a real asset for us. Never doubted his ability, just his desire, but he clearly has that now and he is one of a number of players who deserve a lot of praise for raising their game.

How long is Sheaf out for? Is it possible he might leave this window?

Know he is versatile, but what position has he played most regularly in his career?

Am more amused than horrified by the prospect of him joining... I would say more of a Sean Mcguire punt than Waghorn!

Loan till end of season? It will probably take till then to get him fit enough!

Might be wrong, but didn't he turn down the chance to manage us at one point?

Spot on, sadly. As I am probably older than you, I remember when they had a particularly violent team under Dave Bassett too (they had some notorious players, Billy Whitehurst and Vinnie Jones spring to mind...and of course, a certain Chris Wilder played for them then...)
