Hang on. This isn’t the next block of five. That started with the last game. Call it 10/11?
Then the next one is Blackburn, Watford, Swansea, Leeds, QPR. Tough run. We’ll need points in the bag.
Really liked him at first for his energy and ability to get into goal scoring positions if not score goals. But he’s one player who seems to have gone backwards under Lampard in that wing role. And he’s not good enough to be striker ahead of Simms or Bassette. Not sure what you do with him.
His original contract was until 2024 so his new one might have been a year extension?

Pressure is expectations - resources. I don’t know the league and squad well enough but looking at the results they seemed to have a top four side with top four expectations. Compared to say here with a lower midtable side with top four expectations :P
Thought he was his usual plodding self today tbh. The number of times players were making runs or stood in acres or screaming to the ball and the back line just kept checking back and arsing about with it… Sheaf was even worst. I can’t imagine how frustrating it is being a forward in this side...
