This frustrates me - Sheaf needs to give a 10/10 performance to be rated at 6.

I think most know that I'm a huge Sheaf fan so pleased to see he's finally getting some well deserved praise. I actually think he's had better games tbh, there were a few sloppy moments but, as others have said above, we're definitely a better side with him in it & Hamer also looks more accomplished with Sheaf alongside him.

I think he actually gets more favourable reviews when people watch him in person than on TV/iFollow too. His intelligence off the ball to cover the gaps defensively etc are so, so important but aren't often picked up on by fans.

Lovely play here too, makes a nice angle to open up the space for Kelly.

Unbelievable composure from the team with 10 men in the last minute

Tbh I can put up with players giving it away sometimes if they're trying to do the right things

Agreed he played well - did some poor things but so did lots of players

Totally agree , if the idea is there and it doesn’t quite come off then fair enough, aslong as they see the pass and attempt then I’ve no problems with that.
As someone else pointed out , he makes the difficult stuff look easy and sometimes the easy stuff really difficult by misplacing a 5 yard pass. That will surely be ironed out with more game time and experience.

Correct me if I'm wrong but fairly sure the move all stemmed from his brilliant sliding tackle over on the other side too?

Hamer was caught in no man’s land for their first and it was him who didn’t close down the shot for the second, Sheaf wasn’t close enough to stop it.

100% correct.
Even now on the Ratings thread you have someone giving him a 6 & saying he should have blocked the shot for their 2nd goal. The player defending the guy on the edge of the box was Hamer who was given 9/10 & MotM...

Yep constantly covering glad either side of the pitch when defending especially second half when we were down to 10. Lots of really good performances that second half though

Ohare
Godden
Back two
Kane
Sheaf

Yep 9/10 or even 99:100 it’s lumped in hoping for a lucky ricochet deserved the goal for playing it up and working the chance. It really is a wonderful finish

Hamer was excellent though I thought he took a bit of a knock early on which slowed him up a bit but he soldiered on with some superb long passes for most of the tough second half, Hamer and Sheaf have massive potential together in midfield.

Sheaf isn’t popular I assume as he keeps Kelly out the team - he may turn fans round but it’s going to be difficult

It’s amazing that some claim that Hamer could command a fee of 5-10 million yet Sheaf isn’t good enough for us.
You’ve got a point that the dislike of them seems to stem from them keeping favourites out of the team and leading to them leaving the club entirely.

I don't think he will ever turn some fans around. Their mind have already been made up.

Best player on the pitch yesterday. He's just absolutely quality.

We wouldn't have lost on Tuesday if he was in the team either.

He is that player we always seem to have that does so many good things and then one bad and the fans get straight at him.

I like him as he nearly always looks to move the ball forward and will take a few risks.

Fans are generally quite simple, well ours are. To win them over he probably needs to score a couple of goals and celebrate like an absolute lunatic.

He appears to play better when aggressive, just needs to cut out that one/two moments in the game where his brain appears to switch off momentarily and forgets how to play a simple pass

Now all he needs is a song

I thought we'd decide on Sheaf's Electric

He can play passes that are quite eccentric
But his ball skills are fucking eclectic

To be fair he and others could have got out quicker but Moore mostly at fault although it moved or was deflected

The second goal looks offside but he should have pushed it away

I thought it was off there’s only one defender between the scorer and the goal should be two just a case of was the scorer ahead of the the player who passed it, where’s var when you need it.

His second half performance was master class, upped the tempo and nullified Bristols extra man, all midfielders mis-place the odd pass but Sheafs recovery from the odd blips are superb. This result and performance must give MR thoughts on a back four rather than five giving us that extra body in midfield you’d never realise we were a man down.

3 goals with 10 versus none with 11. Real food for thought there.

Can’t argue with that. Dabo looked better cutting inside from the left also.

Don’t see us starting 4 at the back next game but perhaps we ought to on the road at least.

Dabo looked a real handful cutting inside and attacking the box , and his delivery looked far better swung in towards the 6 yard .


I've seen people say about dabo and their second goal but he tracked the man yard for yard up until he passes it across .. actually thought dabo played well second half yesterday , and besides his delivery has had a solid season to now besides the sending off

I’m sure Robins will start the next match with Todd Kane at right back and he is more suited to being an old fashioned full back than a rwb will be interesting which way Robins goes with this one.

I was more surprised how the man on the D was allowed to get a shot away unopposed.

I think ultimately Moore did poor with his parry out , he made a relatively weak shot look spectacular and should have pushed it wider
