Did really well there. Just a shame we haven't taken at least one chance. Sheaf has shown his premier league class. Not sure he can play 90 minutes plus. We will be vulnerable if and when he comes off.

Thought his comments in the announcement were great.

He has lots of good attributes. However, his lack of pace may hold him back at a higher level. He looks like he is on a treadmill when sprinting over a distance.

It would be interesting to see how much ground he covers compared to O'Hare over the last month. I am sure there is not that much in it. And if we are going to win it, we are going to need a bit of magic from somewhere. Without Sakamoto, Palmer is probably the next most capable.

6ft 4 and left footed

I don't think O'Hare warrants starting ahead of Palmer on recent form and hope he doesn't.

Take 3 points from a mediocre performance. Great finish from Wright, decent contribution from Eccles, and great to see Sheaf back - quality shines.

I would be tempted, partly due to the yellows, to take off Kelly and Palmer HT and replace with Van Ewijk and O'Hare (Eccles moving to midfield).

Can't play much worse than that but much more intensity after the goal. Torp looks lost.

I remember last season or one before Hamer crediting Lawrence for at least one set piece goal. Seems a calm, steady personality.

Then it should be done in private

I am sure they do but not in public view

Really embarrassing and unprofessional. Small margins impact games.

I take your point but I don't mark players performances differently if we are up against a top team compared with an average team so likewise against a poor team.

Have you not heard of triangles - you go back to go forward. His role is to break up play, close down space and play it off so that we can build again. As a team we too often force passes and lose possession.

In a two Tavares is a threat. He has pace and is a finisher. He lacks strength on the ball but he is a great option from the bench if played in the right position. Works well with Godden too.

Liam Kelly is such a top pro. 5-0 up, 90 minutes gone and he's still on his toes, showing for the ball and organising others.

Palmer's work rate and fitness has been questioned by some in the past. However since he has returned from injury he has been the standout player in this regard.
