They have been trying to keep the lad Sheppard quiet for a while. His name was banded around before FL came. We have to get him tied down otherwise its not going to be just Utd that will be on the phone.

Is he genuinely that good?

And yet we're 10 games unbeaten and scoring goals for fun ?
Don't think any player who has filled in so far this season has performed badly , in fact I thought Allen was brilliant yesterday and stabilised our midfield .
Think we need a flexible wide player/attacking midfielder but wouldn't be too disheartened if we didn't sign one

It’s less about game 10 and more about game 30 tbh. Although the likes of Allen have already played far more than is ideal.

Love Jamie. He is at his best coming on after about 60 mins. Good forward pass percentage, although he sometimes leaves a couple short.
In a full 90 minutes he can be bullied off the ball. Last 30 minutes when the opposition are tired or have second choice players on the pitch he can stay out of too many 50/50 balls. Good ball retention to see a game out.
Against Leeds last season, for example, he was found wanting, but he wasn't the only one.

Why is Allen playing not ideal ?
He's a hugely experienced Championship player who has rarely let us down when called upon .
As a fanbase we undervalue some players , players who have been important in our resurgence

I mean any rational person would say isn't it good to be able to call upon a player with nigh on 200 championship appearances under his belt who's been with the club in two play off runs
