Howley got some minutes
Sheaf justified his new deal
We now definitely know we need to sell Dabo
Other teams around us dropped points
I got an earlier train back to London.

Any more?

Sheaf justified his new deal?

He was one of the worst players on the pitch in the first half and was completely hiding. He was one of the better ones in the second granted, but it's pretty bittersweet considering.

I don't think any player comes out with any credit today. Maybe Biamou at half time.

Positives from the season, loads. Positives about play offs, zero. To be fair If you are going to fold at the pivotal moments then the play offs aren’t a great place to be anyway

Yeah I think so. He had a good game. Our issue is that without O’Hare or Palmer we win the ball and it’s Gyokeres and Godden running in behind and no options to feet. I think Sheaf and Hamer played as well as they could. This was a result waiting to happen with no real attacking midfield players.

Who would you have brought on instead? Or would you have stuck with the same formation?
there is no one to bring on instead, maybe the the lad with the eyebrows, but howley is not the answer.

Playing in the SPL for Aberdeen on loan from Norwich I believe…your point?
70 appearances, 20 odd goals, not just a lad that is playing because we have 3 players injured in his position. He will/should not be anywhere near the first team next season, so him getting minutes today was more due to us having fuck all else rather than the benefit of his development with us.

Is it not good he got minutes? Some players don’t walk into the first team at 18. Wilson was a slow burner, look at him now.

anyway, can you answer my original question, what does Howley offer?

Maddison was a once in a generation talent and we can’t expect every youth player to achieve that level of success.
The best player in 30 years? All of of youth talent should be up to Championship level if they get there chance. Howley is nearly 20 and miles away.

Physicality in a game where our only tactic (first half), against a very big physical team, seemed to be to pump it long for Gyok to chase or Godden to try and head it.

did you have an alternative plan? I’d love to hear it.

Greggs - I understand your point but unfortunately our academy is suffering as a result of many years in leagues 1 and 2, when young players would sooner sign for Brum clubs or Leicester. There is a lag and I fully expect in 3/4 years to have some good talent coming through, but we can’t expect our youth players to come and step in a la Maddison.

Well I didn’t get in till half time-so that’s a positive albeit a minor one.

Something would be nice, rather than slowly pondering around. What was Maddison doing at 19?
What was Maddison achieving compared to Pele, Maradona and George Best at 19?
