2 year extension. What was that @shmmeee? You had some thoughts on what it said depending on length
He’s done better than I expected this year, really kicked on defensively. Still got a mistake in him and like most of the back line I do wonder whether we’ll need better to progress to a consistent top six side. But fair play he’s earned this
Change the name to sheaf and its a similar argument right .
Reality is , I think we need to accept we are punching and probably will always have to punch a bit with the financial power we have .. I can't see a point where top 6 is where we belong in this league , it's where we strive to be , to get that chance of the big time
Different argument for me cos i think Sheafs core abilities are good enough, whereas im not sure about Hyam. He’s more in a category of Godden, Kelly, possibly even Dabo (forgive me father) in that he might be hitting his natural level. Also Hyams a couple of years older and has played far more football.
He's only signed because he refuses to leave until we sing his song.
I'm not having it mate , just paced around my living room pushing air
Yes I agree - very balancedHe’s done better than I expected this year, really kicked on defensively. Still got a mistake in him and like most of the back line I do wonder whether we’ll need better to progress to a consistent top six side. But fair play he’s earned this
I don't think hyam , dabo or godden look anymore out of place at this level than sheaf if I'm honest
Good news.
For all the stick he gets about his passing, his distribution stats were the best of the centre backs last season in just about every category.
Agree to disagree. On their day those three are all good enough, but this level is about having majority “on their day”s. Sheaf for me reminds me of Liam Walsh when he first started. Just needs confidence and experience at this level to iron out his casualness on the ball (and he’s already improved) but he generally performs at the right level outside that.
Really?
Thought Fadz was way clear when I looked at them.
Not last season, Hyam was comfortably the best from what I saw.
Haven't checked this seasons though.
Fadz was miles better.
In fact Fadz was one of the best ball playing defenders in the Championship when it came to progressive passes & accuracy.

McFadzean is still so important to us. Not only is he colossal in defence for the most part, he's much better on the ball than he's given credit for too. This was one of the main reasons Robins/Badlan identified him originally & he's been very good still this season too despite the step up...www.skybluestalk.co.uk
There really isn’t much in it when you look at themReally?

Thing is , we say they aren't good enough or we need better for top 6 .. all this while sitting 4th .. so they are good enough .. they just need to be consistently good enough.. at this moment in time, they are good enough .
I think what I'm saying is , they are good enough , at the moment they are good enough ........good enough.... enough .......good

Last seasons stats may be skewed as Hyam was playing out of his preferred position for most of the season while Osti was playing at RCB. This season, with JCS at LCB, Hyam looks far more comfortable on the right and seems to have come on a lot.
