Biamou should take some blame for that too, the pass was on into feet to keep possession but Biamou just didn't show for it. That said, plenty of men back still to deal with it, needs to be closed down better.

Take him off before he's sent off

I'm watching on ifollow but did Sky really suggest that either "handball" could have been given!???

And again 🤣

As if you're gonna claim handball for that 🤣

Misplaced one there but if anyone still can't see what Sheaf brings to this team then they're beyond help.

Oh Max! Shocking touch

We look lots more confident, hopefully don't give away anything silly, been a couple of scares already.

3-5-2 Sheaf, Hamer & front 2 looking ok Defence less so Shipley slow of thought

Still not fit obviously. Surprised Baka isn't there though, lack a lot of mobility in the final third

Agreed. Having those 3 at full fitness would be massive for us.

As your argument changes with each post I'll answer to each of your individual points...

Exactly.

Probably curse us by saying this on match day but Reading's run of form is freakish & unsustainable... I'm sure every team they've played so far has said similar but it's possible we could nick something from this. They are 14th in the XG table & their shot conversation % is off the charts...

Years ago they relied on spotters, not anymore. With data analytics becoming more important & signing players from all around the world, using a spotter isn't usually practical. That's not to say they don't still use them, of course they do but it's not the primary method. I used the stats that...

Not the readily available free ones - Clubs & pro scouts use Wyscout, Instat or 7Scout mostly; Opta are widely used for stats...

🤣 All the stats sites & sources agree, including those used by pro scouts & the clubs themselves. The professional statisticians are all wrong though & you know better.

Utter poppycock. Sheaf's pass completion for the Blackburn & Middlesbrough games were 86% & 73% respectively. Kelly & Hamer who you've touted as doing better... 73% & 59% respectively. Hamer's passing accuracy is 68% for the season, Sheaf's is 82%. I don't know where the narrative has come...

Exactly. Plus, as most are slowly starting to realise, Sheaf is not the problem - he always wants to play forward but it's the lack of options in front of him. I love Liam Walsh but part of why he was so effective was the system & supporting cast. We're struggling to get the wing backs, the...

Historically he picks up a lot of niggles & asking him to play 3 games in 6 days straight off the back of injury is too much for anyone.
