You're absolutely right. Even when he's not fully fit Yok gives us that back-to-goal outlet that allows us to build pressure. Their central defenders had it easy from the moment he went off. Big mistake.

I didn’t rate him at all but got hammered with stats telling me he was great.
So I’ve looked again at him with an open mind.
He can play tidily but will make 4 howlers per match - handballs in dangerous area today, needless free kick in dangerous area, loses possession due to lack of awareness. Those are facts from today. His passing can be ok but he will pick the safer pass quite often and then oddly try a worldy. Baffling.
We miss Matty James IMHO and need a midfielder who can boss the middle to allow Gus and Cal to create.
A midfield boss Sheaf is not.
He’s not a very good player in our set up tbh.
Anyway, I’ll get some stat-gimp going on now

Haha yeah, apologies I meant lost us the three points. It still feel like we lost though

Robins subs were wrong today. Cost us.
As I said, perspective is required. We will have dips in form, but I’m confident we will get back to winning ways again

What were the 4 howlers today?

It is frustrating that he seemed to acknowledge it after Wed and then proceed to do almost the same thing. Second half was not good.
I think we need to not score first half. It's not helping us
Who’d be a manager, eh?

Safe to say Robins has been given a lot of food for thought in these 3 games. Should have been 2 or 3 up, Moore untested basically until the ball is gifted away.
We needed the extra man in midfield again second half.

Got to be honest, I thought some of the criticism of Kelly has been harsh but he dragged us back 5 or ten yards when he came on.
Having said that it was Hyams poor pass that lead to the goal.

Was pretty level. Thought a change was needed but Kelly didn’t play as well as sheaf and Walker needed to replace godden

We lost the game as he went off and Kelly came on - Kelly was a disaster

Kelly was really awful. Gave the ball away for the goal and offered nothing in possession.
Walker and Godden are too similar so we lost the press.
Allen should have come on for Sheaf and Waghorn should have started.
Dabo really needs to work on his end product too. Kane has shown what a quality ball in from there can achieve.
On another note it’s really getting to me how much we need a backup for O’Hare. You can see he’s leggy now and we just don’t have anybody to replace him. Bright was a huge fuck up.

He was restricted by what he has on the bench. Kelly for Sheaf? I can see the thinking but Kelly looked off the boil. Hindsight etc.
Walker for Gyok? Gyok was struggling but Walker was not the answer. That wasn’t hindsight- just a lack of thinking. We haven’t got a back to goal forward in the squad beside Gyok. TBF Waghorn would have been better - he’s still not a no9.

No we weren't in charge as they were knocking on the door. Kazim hit the post as well just prior to the goal. I don't know why the last 2 games we've just tried to sit on 1-0 leads instead of trying to go for the second goal. We stop playing and don't know what to do. We make mental mistakes and give away possession cheaply in key areas that result in goals for the opposition. So frustrating. Are we running out of energy or ideas? Allen needs to come in I think. In the Jan window, we need to find someone with a calming presence to bridge defence to attack and chip in with a few goals [ala Matty James]. Suddenly the squad just does not seem balanced.Yet we was in total charge until kell and walker came on

Even the handball was just unlucky as the ball spun as he chested it.

As double headers go this week it’s hard not to feel flat, we ought to have got 5 more points this week against 2 ordinary teams. I didn’t see the 100% ending against these really.
The second halves in both games were just rank, for the same reason.

To be fair , I Agree with most of this. Sheaf is a good player , but just makes stupid mistakes. A defensive midfielder on loan in january wouldn’t go amiss
