I was there last night and Saturday. Lots of empty seats at top of Block 2 that are normally full. Got home at 23.20 which is pretty good as it’s often nearer midnight.
As an aside , and I have no real bias here, but I have seen a lot of plaudits for Ben Sheaf after last night- I am scratching my head because I thought he was poor- kept giving the ball away. He’s good at breaking up the opponents play but from what I’ve seen, he offers very little going forward.
I await to be shot down, of course, but I just don’t get the current Q4 QA
.love in for hi m” to to get back on
Taken some time to find his feet but the last three I've seen him play in the flesh, Peterborough, QPR and Stoke, he has been outstanding. Granted he was caught in possession once against Stoke and gave the ball away once but there is a serious player brewing there.
Following last season largely by second hand accounts online I had visions of Sheaf and McFadzean in particular both being fresh out of clown college, but actually getting to see them play now either they both turned it around over the summer or people on Twitter really are prone to over exaggerate.
I make every game possible but sometimes family, work or holidays get in the way. Missed 3 so far this season and will definitely be away for another 2 in March. 18/23 wouldn't be too bad.
Is there a stat for how many times he was dispossessed last night? It did feel like he was caught on the ball a few times when trying to bring it down and play a pass. I thought he had a good game though and has been great all season.

Opta have him as Disposessed once but also 4 Unsuccessful Touches which they define as "mis-control".
In comparison Eccles & Allen had 3 each & Gyökeres 8!
We were on our way up. Left at usual time around 5.15...Major pile up on m40 by beaconsfield...we were stuck on the motorway for an hour...gridlocked. tried a few side roads gridlocked.
Turned back home around 7pm near aylesbury...(dont Ask) .
Ended up listening to it on Ifollow radio!
Could have made it up for 2nd half....but it was freezing day and I was done!
