Sheffield Wednesday came at a shit time for us with a lot of players running on empty tanks I think. Will put it right in 2 weeks against them I hope!
It's fair. Many of our players play through various niggles and knocks; Kelly for many games last season. It just shows how good they are that it's not always evident to us fans that they are playing through injuries at times.

Jeez-you haven’t set the bar very high.If he doesn’t go in Jan, then that doesn’t mean there isn’t interest, if that’s what you’re implying.
Seems a ridiculously odd POV, and hill to die on, considering the performances he puts in. I think you can remove subjectiveness from that by looking at the stats as well, which back up that he’s exceptional at this level. Being subjective though, he’s brilliant and the best player I’ve seen in a Cov shirt since McSheffrey pre Brum move, perhaps.
Yeah possibly too high, I can’t think of a player we’ve had that’s been that good when we’ve had them though. Maybe Scott Dann or Westwood?Jeez-you haven’t set the bar very high.
So you don’t think Marlon King was better than McSheffrey?Yeah possibly too high, I can’t think of a player we’ve had that’s been that good when we’ve had them though. Maybe Scott Dann or Westwood?
I run a bit. That 21k is amazing for someone without specialist distance training; O'Hare is trained for consistent short bursts of speed over 90 minutes and not for a sustained half marathon at such an advanced tempo. Very, very impressive.@SBT
For reference he did a 30km at 4:55 pace (long run, but that's not particularly quick) and a 21km at 3:27 (I'd regard that as a quick pace for someone of his build / stature). He's 'Cal Ohare' on Strava, apologies I don't know how to link. There's a runner person on here who I'm sure would know more, but I was impressed at least.
No chance is he running 21km at 3:27 pace - that’s like elite national level running@SBT

Ah see what you’re getting at. I did say pre Birmingham move. I think McSheffrey was more or less the best player in the division at that time. King was good but not that goodSo you don’t think Marlon King was better than McSheffrey?

I think we have had plenty of better players than McSheffrey. King, Maddison, immediately spring to mind.Ah see what you’re getting at. I did say pre Birmingham move. I think McSheffrey was more or less the best player in the division at that time. King was good but not that good
Nilsson was JUST before my time I’m afraid , but my best mate and his dad always go on about how he was total class
He did....usto this day I'm amazed how Nilsson never played for a really big club.
Nilsson was almost impeccable. Made one -and only one mistake in his entire SkyBlue career, treading on the ball in injury time of the replay at Bramhall Lane in 1998. It squeezed our under his foot and went fit a corner from which they equalised and went on to knock us out on penalties.
Look at me with my deliberate contrary opinion. Embarrassing.O Hare was better today and easily is more likely a prospect to be in the premier league
Hamer will never be signed for the top flight - I can’t see promotion challengers even looking at him as a serious acquisition
Maybe he has been told he is leaving and feels a little deflated or maybe its an after effect of the aclJust my view but I don't think Biamou looked fit today. Other times he's come on he hasn't hit the heights of that superb Rotherham performance and has struggled to impose himself on the game. Usually he will always bust a gut if nothing else but something hasn't seemed right of late.

Sort of want to make a Monty Python joke thereand going to ground on Parrott stupid
I wonder if he has been instructed to reduce the chasing? I remember Robins saying that Godden or maybe it was McNulty needs to reduce his running and do so in more threatening areas. It makes sense when playing one up top. He did on a few occasions rob a player of the ball including the one at the byline which led to a late Hamer chance. The one area he hasn't been as effective since Rotherham is in the air.It's fair. Many of our players play through various niggles and knocks; Kelly for many games last season. It just shows how good they are that it's not always evident to us fans that they are playing through injuries at times.
Well I have just read some crazy things and I am not sure if people are being serious. First someone suggests O'Hare didn't play very well today. He was brilliant.
Then Grendal says O'Hare is better than Hamer. Now I rate O'Hare very highly but no way is he better than Hamer.
Maybe he has been told he is leaving and feels a little deflated or maybe its an after effect of the acl
Bookmarked this for laterO Hare was better today and easily is more likely a prospect to be in the premier league

Wow-you do really hold him in high regard. Not sure he was up there with the best in the division though-time to take the Sky Blue “one of our own” glasses off I think.Well Maddison was 18 and playing in league one, so it’s not really a comparison.
King was a good player no doubt, but no chance was he the best in the division when we had him, whereas McSheffrey was in that bracket.
His last season with us he was undoubtedly one of the best players in the championship, Birmingham paid £4m for him which was quite a lot of money back then, that season he got something like 15 goals and 20 assists playing left wing and was voted in the EFL Championship team of the year.Wow-you do really hold him in high regard.
