Sheaf is top notch in this division. The sort of player you realise what he brings when he’s not there.
I think we all get a bit blind when we have an opinion on a player. Those who don't rate him highly still saying he was poor yesterday when he was miles better.
Tbf I'm a bit like that with Collins who I thought was bad again but did see a decent stop on the highlights.
To be fair everybody moans that thomas gives the ball away all the time and he has a 83% pass completion rateSheaf stats from yesterday:
80 touches
60 passes at 93.3% pass completion, which means he only misplaced 4 passes
Completed 3 of 4 long passes
Completed 1 of 2 crosses
2 shots, 1 on target
1 key pass
2 tackles
3 clearances
3 aerials won
Dispossessed 2 times (joint worse with Milan)
3 unsuccessful touches ( milan 3, Sakamoto 4, Rudoni 6)
Slipped a great through ball to Bassette for the penalty.
Hardly giving the ball away "all the time".
He's playing nowhere near the level we all know he can, but some of the ratings yesterday, 5's, are a joke given some of the displays we've seen this season, including from him.
, 1 on target
It was his header.The most surprising.
Most of those were a 10 yard pass to his left to Binks.To be fair everybody moans that thomas gives the ball away all the time and he has a 83% pass completion rate
He was feeding a lot of passes to Milan. Hull were giving MVE so much more space than most teams do.Most of those were a 10 yard pass to his left to Binks.
Most of sheafs passes are the same though ? Most players passes are 5-10 yard passes in general aren't they ?Most of those were a 10 yard pass to his left to Binks.

Madness.Sheaf is top notch in this division. The sort of player you realise what he brings when he’s not there.
agree with this.He’s been rubbish all season. If he wasn’t captain he’d surely have been given a game out if the team by now.
He needs time out of the team to realise he's not untouchable and the move that he is perhaps thinking about will not longer be on the cards with his current performance levels.agree with this.
I don't believe for a second that Sheaf isn't a great championship midfielder and has the ability to be our best/most impactful player.
It feels like we really need him to step up and when he starts performing again, i think we'll really see an upturn in results.
When he plays badly, it seems to impact the whole team performance.
The captain shrugs his shouldersThe shrug of the shoulders on Saturday did it for me
Sheaf looked great last season with the same defenders behind him. He’s just been poor this season - no-one else to blame but himself.Sheaf will always be a Rolls Royce when behind him he has centre backs that are of a high level.
Binks and Thomas, Dasilva and Collins are making Sheaf look shite, he's not gonna pull 10/10 performances week in and week out with a defence like that behind him.
Correct, on his day which we've only seen a couple of times this seasonSheaf is top notch in this division. The sort of player you realise what he brings when he’s not there.

Probably answers the question. Who else would it be. MVE is pretty much the only guaranteed starter and thats not because of how well he's playing, just that we have no options.How he is captain is beyond me. The question is who do you give it to? This is the most spineless group of cowards I have ever seen on a football pitch.
He's not defending the backline or releasing us forward. It's a big problem.He hasn't been great but he is the absolute least of our problems. Probably feels like all of us - can't believe he's gone from playing with absolute heroes to spineless twats who can't be trusted.

Might struggle with the coin toss from the bench.That's our problem, we have no real leaders in this side. I did say a few weeks back that I would have Bidwell, Wilson and Kitching ahead of Sheaf as captain.
