But he doesn't pass well or shield well at the moment. You continually see players run past him and then him chugging forlornly to chase back.100% agree with all of this - I think some people are clouded by how good they know Sheaf can be, but even playing below par he is still very important to the team, and even if all he does is shield, break up and pass he does it very well…

@Earlsdon_Skyblue1 you ok hun? Given the amount of reactions to my posts I seem to have been living rent free in your head the last couple of weeks ever since you went all in on Sheaf for some bizarre reason, is he shagging your Mrs or something and not letting you join in?
simms scores more goals.Is he? Still not looking like he wants to be involved enough for me. With his size and speed he should be trying to play like original Ronaldo every week
Don't get me wrong today's cameo was better than recent ones but I don't think it was anything that made me think he's better than basette right now
That said I'd also give him a start soon because he has got it in his locker to go on a scoring run
7 mins was such a laugh tooThe 7 minutes of added time at the end were dealt with brilliantly . Disciplined, professional and kept the ball fantastically.
7 mins was such a laugh too
I'm taking credit for that.Best moment apart from winning of course was Bobby in their tactics talk

More importantly why don't they surrounded the Derby bench to stop the teamtalk.
Oh dear.
Mr Intelligent has thrown the toys out the pram. If you're tagging me in posts, I'm not sure you've got the rent free thing round the right way. Perhaps don't write such shit, particularly about Eccles, and people wouldn't laugh at you.
Some of his passing today was dreadful.
There was definitely 7 mins today.
The issue is that too often when there should be 7 plus we get 3 or 4.
Still not convinced with Frank at the helm...

He went over and stood next to the hill players and they pushed him away and he just kept listening inMissed that, what happened?

It may be an unpopular opinion, but in the small sample of the 4 games, we look leagues better under FL than Robins.
Really? my 90 year old gran could have done better! It was awfulGood save Torp hit it well
Our shape is much better. Absolutely dominated WBA in the week too, and should have never lost that .We did today, no doubt about that.
All opinions on this thread should be tempered by the knowledge that Hull were crap
In all the games we’ve been better, even WBA where we were unlucky to lose in the manner we did because we created good enough opportunities for an equaliser.We did today, no doubt about that.
He has to step up now, as he's fallen down the pecking order.Simms did well today. Far more grit. Loved it when he came out on top against their keeper.
Mrs told ambulance crew that I had been confused and vague and tasking shite for a week, thi sill surprise many if you who would argue I have been all of that for 5 months. I have a chest infection so now have some antibiotics. If Im no better in a couple of days I either need to see my own gp ( fat chance) or go back to kills mill suggested a head scan might be useful to exclude a brain tumour. Higher risk as I am over 50. The very nice doctor didn’t scare me in th e slightest by saying that. I would have been happier if she had kept tyt much detail to herself. Still, it would explains a lot I guess. i know you will all now be on tenterhooks so I will update as and when.Sorry to hear that mate - hope all is OK.
Did you notice even he was on loan with USA. Already edited that typo/ auto correct. I honestly thought h must hav been a competition winner, dominoes probablyDidn’t even notice he was playing!!
Sakamoto needs to up his output to stay in the team imo.He has to step up now, as he's fallen down the pecking order.
It's clear from his comments that Lampard has a liking for Bassette.
If Simms doesn't do the business he'll find himself behind BTA too, and when Wright is fit, who plays on the left now that EMC is finding some form?
It could be that Wright becomes first choice CF and Bassette second choice, and Simms and BTA are fighting it out for a place on the bench.
The pressure is definitely on Simms to perform now, when given the chance.
I'd like to see Wright and Bassette together up front.Sakamoto needs to up his output to stay in the team imo.
Wright and EMC are scoring and assisting too much to not play both players. In my view, Simms will break into the team because he’s a better player than Bassette. If Wright was back tomorrow (he’s not) then I’d play Sakamoto-Wright-EMC.
Playing armchair manager, we like to attack in a 4-4-2 shape at points so I’d like to see Wright and Simms flanked by Rudoni and EMC. Alternatively, EMC on the RW, which I think could suit him just as well.
Do you reckon he could ghost from the right wing to the far post to get on the end of his own crosses. Neat trick if he can do it new song needed if he could , he’s here, heKs. there he’s every fucking where EmC , emc. Youknowthe tune. Iomega not sure we can afford to lose his recent far post goal contribution. At the moment.Sakamoto needs to up his output to stay in the team imo.

I actually don’t. Bassette needs a lot of work to become a top Championship player. There’s a lot of great attributes to work with but I can see why MR had on the bench towards the end of his tenure.I'd like to see Wright and Bassette together up front.
Bassette is our only left footed striker and that may give him an edge over Simms when playing two attackers.
EMC is nailed on to be the LW option, but I agree we need a bit more from Sakamoto on the right, but he looks to be getting back to his pre- injury form slowly.
It's worth pointing out that Lampard didn't throw Simms on until we went 2-1 up, does that mean that he considers Bassette the most likely to score? And would he have left Bassette on if we hadn't of gone 2-1 up?I actually don’t. Bassette needs a lot of work to become a top Championship player. There’s a lot of great attributes to work with but I can see why MR had on the bench towards the end of his tenure.
We play with one striker and at times today he drifts out to the wings which can blunt our attacks because he’s the one we want in the box. More specifically, we’re putting more crosses in the box and that just doesn’t really suit Bassette’s game. What suits Bassette’s game is when we put the ball in behind defences as we did for him for the penalty. At first glance, it looked to me like his touch was too far ahead of him to have scored had he not been fouled.
My personal view is that Simms was more effective than Bassette as a striker today in terms of his movement in the box.
Offensively definitely, defensively debatableIt may be an unpopular opinion, but in the small sample of the 4 games, we look leagues better under FL than Robins.
