It is interesting that your behaviour has changed after I said I wouldn't engage with you any further. It is a concerning level of dedication to this obsession with me, but whilst I would encourage you to give it up and stop embarrassing yourself, before you do, here is a lesson for you.
Here is a link to Sheaf on Transfermarkt - go through it and look at all the seasons. What you are saying is factually incorrect on many levels.
Ben Sheaf, 27, from England ➤ Coventry City, since 2021 ➤ Defensive Midfield ➤ Market value: €7.00m ➤ * Feb 5, 1998 in Eynsford, England

1) The 22/23 season:
There were 17 games (not 19) between the Luton game where he got injured and the playoffs, when we went on a storming run. He got injured and we started picking up points straight away. He played a full match for only two of those wins, the rest coming without him. 33 points on that run, only 8 of which we picked up when sheaf played a full game. In fact, other than the two wins I talk about, the only full game he played in the rest of this season was the playoff final - which we lost.
We didn't lose a single game without him that season.
27 full games with Sheaf: 40 points = 1.48 (points per game)
19 games without Sheaf: 30 points =
1.57 (points per game)
2) The 23/24 season:
Patterns are very noticeable here, and in the 8 games he played since coming back from injury, we claimed only 6 points. Of course that was our playoff hopes down the toilet. We also went on a four game losing streak directly after he came back from his injury earlier in the season in October too. That is twice in one season our form bombed on his return.
We lost less than 5 games without him that season.
28 full games with Sheaf: 34 points = 1.214 (points per game)
18 games without Sheaf: 30 points =
1.666 (points per game)
2) The 24/25 season:
10 wins from 11 largely without him. Form kicked off positively as soon as he got injured.
We have lost barely any games without him this season.
14 full games with Sheaf: 20 points = 1.42 (points per game)
22 games without Sheaf: 36 points =
1.63 (points per game)
No, correlation does not imply causation, not on a singular sample size, which was my point on the stupid Hadji Wright comparisons (which you called flawed logic, but clearly didn't have enough brain cells to understand). This is a sample size across three seasons, with four absences. Not only is there enough data to properly analyse, there are patterns which are very repetitive and alarming. I have had to draw the line on sub appearances in general, but as another poster highlighted, we have lost only a handful of games without him across the last three seasons. We have some of our best periods of form without him on all three seasons too, and our form have dropped off a cliff when he has come back from injury on every occasion where we have been able to analyse a sample size of matches following his return.
It doesn't matter what opinions you want to throw out there, the facts are the facts. These same opinions had Sheaf playing for England, and going to the PL for 20 million. It isn't the real world. You've said you enjoy pulling me apart, but rather you've pulled your own pants down here again.
This will be my last post on the matter, and my last post to you. So read this, get a hard on, and go and wank yourself thinking about your last interaction with me. This thread can now be about Simms, and tonight can be about the match. I hope we win. Good Evening.
