Hindsight is a wonderful thing, we probably should have cashed in on Sheaf in the summer

I can understand why we didn't though, after losing COH on a free flogging Sheaf would have gone down like a lead balloon at the time, that is something that is completely undeniable whatever anybody says now

If Stamenic and Browne would have happened I am sure Sheaf would have been sold

In good faith, I would be happy to do one if it you wanted to rephrase it as a regular premier league starter or something like that.

I think he probably will play for a better team than us, but that is also a reflection of our own troubled waters!
I think he'll go to either a newly promoted PL club or a top-end Championship club in the summer.

Came off with a calf injury so now probably out for a few weeks again.
Interestingly at 1 nil up. Now I'm not saying he was great, I'm not saying it wouldn't have happened if he'd remained on, but before everyone wants him out being one of the latest boo boys, let's see some incoming, because the rest of our midfield don't offer much.

thought Sheaf played well today.

Eccles is a spineless inept cretin. Said the second he was coming on to be our strong midfield enforcer at 1-0 up that we’d go on to lose the game

He is not in good form but he's far superior to Eccles and we better hope he isn't out for long

I hope Doug in his interview asked FL how do you build a successful squad within this league and how long does it take to do it. Because this is a rebuild we have certain elements of how too, but lack desperately in Leadership and Organization on the field. The squad looks so unbalanced and that needs solving. I hope FL has the answers and Doug can provide the support because at the minute we are swimming in circles.

We need 3 vocal leaders who will grab games by the scruff of the neck and control the tempo and momentum of games. Once you get this you can go get young energetic hungry players and wrap them around these leaders. At the minute im not shocked Lampard goes round hugging the players he notices that this group doesn't have that type of role model within.

If Holding and Wagner are targets i see why and would be a good start but we need a few more older heads in. And if Sheaf is gone for a few weeks that CM needs addressed because we were lacking when he was fit nevermind when he is sitting in the stands. Big job has now turned into a massive task of turning this round.

It was never a long term solution but watching Dennis Wise and Don Hutchinson play for City was instructive. You could see them constantly using their experience to drag the team with them

Every successful team in the history of the game has had a mix of a few elements but what it has always been a constant is leadership and organization on the field, this we simply don't have.
