Obviously class to see them be so bad. Worrying how badly the promoted sides have fared this year though. Fully expecting all three to be very competitive again when they come down as well. From a sporting pov it's awful. I've been losing interest in the PL for a while, but this year has to be...

My concern would be, who’s buying him, and for how much? Injury record is so poor I just can’t see major investment from the sort of clubs who’d be interested.

Oh yeah definitely. I'm very unsure what you do with Sheaf long-term.

Also when he’s on song Sheaf is absolutely class. FA Cup run last season, dominated Wolves and Man Utd. If we go up this year I think we’ll need that Ben Sheaf at some point.

Injuries are part of football and cruelly affect some more than others. Don’t think for a second Sheaf would back out of a game that he felt he could positively contribute to.

It’s not a black and white thing though is it, he’s clearly feeling something. Don’t want anything risking the Sunderland game.

Derby are depleted. I’d say we’ve got to fancy ourselves for three points. I would make changes and use the squad. Allen, Sheaf, Wright, BTA, Bidwell all in for me. Resting MVE a huge risk, but I would. Lati genuinely appalling there last time though so May regret it.

Is the header deflected off an Oxford player? I can’t really see

Dovin MVE Ostigard McFadz Maatsen Sheaf Grimes Rudoni Hamer Wright Gyokeres Appreciate Grimes not be here long but that team would be unbelievable. Honourable mentions; Doyle, McNally, Thomas, O’Hare, EMC, Simms

Remember Salah dislocating his shoulder in the CL final and he was back for the World Cup a few weeks later, albeit he was pretty poor

Not sure I agree with the Ipswich slagging. They’re very well set for future.

Trying not to be too revisionist. O’Hare was unbelievable for us. They are very different. Cal had an intensity and that ability to create something out of nothing. Rudoni is more consistent, and he’s technically far better. Rudoni has the ingredients for top level football, he’s 6’1”...

It was sorry, yes

Not quite of the theme but I once bumped into Richard Wood in Leeds on the Monday lunchtime following his last minute own goal for Rotherham against us (around 2014). Needless to say I was an arse and mentioned this to him (“once a sky blue. Etc.”) He had the good grace to laugh and was...

I think the difference of late is that he doesn’t have to score to play well. He used to be anonymous in games, now he’s minimum a handful for their defence.

He was superb yesterday. Thought he dominated his duels with their CB, and gave us a real outlet. 2 goals without much being created for him, and unlucky with the one ruled out.

To win the play offs, we need to play better than we did yesterday and midweek.

I do think a lot depends on Sheaf and Wright. When on form, they’re our two best players. If they can raise the levels, then we’ve got a good chance.

Do find Swansea fans unanimous verdict on him leaving a bit concerning. He’s exactly what we need and evidently a good player, but we ought to temper expectations a bit.

MVE superb second half
