Is he always at the “Baka” the class?

I know I’m about to be shot down but playing for the club he grew up “having an interest in”, where his dad played as a youth and (probably) his mates / family supported does make a little difference. I dressing room with a few local lads who give that “slight bit of an extra care” about the...

Robert Rose-ario?

12k per week makes him a contractual liability if they have no intent on ever playing him. He can sit around and cost £300k-£400k (with ni and ins and bits and bobs) or they can release him for a sell-on-fee clause and maybe contribute a bit towards his wages. Ie. Cov sign him on a free with...

Ben Wilson on his podcast mentioned Shipley liking a beer. People might be putting 2+2 together and getting 5 or they might be getting 4. He’s bulked out, struggles to play after 65 mins and isn’t as quick as he was (plus Wilson making comments) is one side, or it might be bollox. Bottom line...

Wilson 6 Didn’t have much to do. Some of his kicking was a bit sketchy. Can’t remember any keeper having to face as many penalties in such a short space of time, has he guessed the right way many times? Østigard 7 I tbought he did well. McFadzean 8 Commanding performance from the skipper...

What do we think?

O’Hare often ends up doing a great move and then running into a cul-de-sac and losing the ball. Often because he doesn’t have another midfielder bursting forward to take the pass that would be otherwise on. Result: loses the ball. Allen would be the obvious choice but I’m afraid (I feel) he...

O’Hare is either an impact sub or a foil for a midfield terrier / general. We miss Kelly and for a long while we had Doyle doing that job (not really replaced) and in a way, Walsh. There’s no one in the squad at the moment, Sheaf isn’t that kind of player. Maybe bring in someone in in Jan...

Wilson 5 listened to his podcast the other day. He’s a funny young lad, but doesn’t seem that mature. It shows. 28 going on18. Athletic, but immature. Dabo 7 a Cut Above Ostigard 6 ok McFadzean 6 ok Hyam 5 bad game Giles 5 him too Hamer 6 not at his best Sheaf 5 product of a...

That was a really poor performance. Wilson poor Allen pointless Sheaf, simply, not capable. “His age, bedding in, shows glimpses”. Namby Pamby verbal hemorrhoids. Godden. Not at this level.

Sorry, Sheaf is garbage. “His stats his stats” squeak his apologists. Put anyone at CDM and they can just make short passes slightly backwards to the side and get “pass success”. I’d rather he not pull the shirt on again. Sorry.

Sorry to say, time and time again Sheaf had dithered and cost us. Needs a bit of a kick and some U23s with a “don’t f’in dither you ponce” message.

Wilson 7 Seems destined to make one big error and equally one amazing save each match. Couple of poor kicks into touch but all in all did ok. Dabo 8 Some great play today. He is a quality player who could do a job almost anywhere on the pitch. Some excellent forward running today, good...

Wilson 6 One very good save 1v1, poor pass out leading to the free kick and then dithered leading to the goal. Still, decent on balance. Dabo 5 I’m a huge Dabo fan, wasn’t quite at it today. Ostigard 6 Did alright in my opinion. McFadzean 7 Good solid performance, good passing and...

Some really poor performances today. Allen pointless. Baka really really poor.

Agree on this. Kelly coming back in has shown where we were previously weak. Hamer kinda covers the position but Sheaf doesn’t have that “commanding” aspect to his play. Whether the formidable tank of Dabo could fill that role (put McCallum at RWB, Giles LWB) is perhaps a solution whilst...

The common theme seems to either be: He’s like a bucket of shite without the bucket. Or. He’s sometimes like a bucket of shite but does some things well and he’ll learn and shows promise. In the latter case; this is the Championship. He could have done with a bit more L1 / SPL or...

Wilson 8 Two great saves. Great distribution and no penalty to face for a change. Solid Dabo 8 He’s Fanky Dabo and does what Fanky Dabo does. Won the ball in their area to create our best chance. Got clattered. If he’d have tumbled... Still absolutely immense for us. Hyam 6 Couple of...
