My worry is he doesn’t seem to know how to track a man or he’s just too lazy to be arsed too I’ll admit I expected more from sheaf

Nope just think he is a better player than shiperly and is vastly underrated on here (if k liked players who ran around all the time shipperz would be my favourite player) but at least I have my own opinions on things

I haven't been impressed with him so far, but it took Walsh a few games to get going.

I don’t think Walsh was playing in his best position tbf. Sheaf is a natural holding midfielder

Because Allen had been ill in the week, if he hasn't been he would have started, keep up

Better than shipperz (didn't pass the ball to numerous Bournemouth players) but like most of the team couldn't get into the game and then much more defensive when hamer went off which isn't his best role

He’s not had the best start, but to me just looks like a good League 1 player adjusting to the (significant) step up - same as most of the team. Can see he’s got something about him, just needs to be quicker with his speed of thought when in possession.

Looks like it’ll be Kelly and him next few games, hopefully having a bit of experience alongside will help him bed in.

No need to denounce him as shit just yet, give him a chance!

Like letting Zain Westbrooke go on a free rather than loan with option for recall was a short-sighted decision

Zain would be eaten for breakfast in this league, don't you dare say otherwise.

Sheaf looks top heavy, slow, incredibly rigid and it's a big big worry. Having said that I called Walsh a dreadful footballer after Rotherham away so things can change.

Kelly starts every game for me

Sky Blues have 'obligation' not 'option' to buy Ben Sheaf

Arsenal midfielder Ben Sheaf has become Coventry City's ninth summer signing

Sheaf is blatantly going to be a very good ball playing centre half. He has got away with both CM at youth and lower level... he doesn't seem quick or agile enough in CM, especially once he is turned with space behind him. Needs to face the game....

Sheaf needs to realise he isn't at arsenal now , you can't rely on other good players to clear up your mistakes! This lad has to step up or become another lost soul who has come to city then career ended in drifting off to to fuck all. Does this kid want to have a career in football or just slip off in to telling people in the pub he once played for arsenal . Fucking step up boy!

Fucking hell this is 2nd only to those writing Hilßner off already.

The boy has clearly got a lot of quality & always wants to get the ball down & play. At the moment he wants a bit too much time on the ball & needs to get to grips with the pace of the game but given that he's never played in this league before I don't think we should be surprised by that.

Give him a chance ffs.

The odd one might have done but they're completely wrong.

5th most completed passes in all of L1 with 86% success rate, the majority of which are forward/progressive passes which is exceptional.




Still, you know better than the stats & our widely praised recruitment team & had already written him off before he signed because he smiled in Arsenal training once.

Sheaf has the quality to come good. Yes he wasn’t the most effective today but with the exception of Hamer (who was sent off), Marosi (did all he could), macfadzean (who didn’t really put a foot wrong) O’Hare (who kept trying) and hyam (my motm) was he any worse than others?

Exactly.
Certain people had already made their minds up before he even signed though:

No not really. People keep using Arsenal against him but he was only an Arsenal player in name.

Kelly will return to the starting lineup when 100%. Sheaf is a good player, but needs to work on moving the ball a bit quicker, in less touches.

None of the midfield made their passes, Hamer, Sheaf, Shipley or even COH. We were against a superior team.

I feel like a Sheaf needs to realise that he is not playing academy or L1 footy anymore.... he ISN'T one of the best players on the pitch anymore and playing with a casualness he is, shows that he hasn't fully grasped the level he is at now.

I still think he will ultimately be a ball playing centre half to be completely honest. An injury and a suspension could see the making if him....

His energy made a big difference when pressing.
