Sheaf is our most press resistant midfield, that one pass in the first half aside. Keeps the ball much better than Hamer and O’Hare when he’s got men in his face.
Biggest issue at the moment is we just don’t look like scoring goals. The Bristol City anomaly aside we’ve been dreadful going forward vs 11 men since the Blackburn game.
As bad as we have been West Brom have been very good. We haven’t been able to handle their press and their three centre backs have been the best I’ve seen at the CBS so far. They’ve read every long ball we’ve tried to play over the top.
That was really, really bad. That being said, the second goal is an appalling refereeing decision, although I suppose you come to expect that when you’ve got a tub of lard with the whistle who can’t keep up with play.
