L1 though, we’re two and a half seasons later and have had glaring holes in the squad since McCallum was sold. Meanwhile we’ve signed quality everywhere else on the pitch.
Rose and McFadzean beg to differ
@Londonccfcfan prove me wrong, we’ve not made a permanent signing in either of those positions since Rose first season in L1.
Your confusing depth in those positions.L1 though, we’re two and a half seasons later and have had glaring holes in the squad since McCallum was sold. Meanwhile we’ve signed quality everywhere else on the pitch.
Paid money for a LB.
Plus... Rose was the Promotion season wasn't he? (Second season in L1).
Your confusing depth in those positions.
I was talking about first team. After that the depth falls off a cliff.
Depth comes from buying improvements though. We’ve got depth up front because we brought in players who were as good or better, same at RWB, GK, CM. But we’re playing RWBs at LWB and CB because we haven’t been able to improve on the L1 back three or LWB really aside from a couple of loans.
We won’t buy depth in, we’ll buy better then Hyam/Rose/etc will become backup.
I don't think Sheaf would enjoy watching this. Chasing shadows in that first half.
Good effort

Trying to play the role of 2 men with Hamer clearly not fit alongside him perhaps?
It wasn't him that consistently kept giving WBA the ball back. Only he & Fadz really came out of that game with much credit imo.
He was the only player in our team who made any tackles in the first half

It's amazing seeing people's selective memories for things because they dislike Sheaf. Literally rewriting things that have happened so they don't need to acknowledge he has been decent.
Meanwhile, Hamer or O'Hare give it away then people start singing their name.

While you make a fair point initially I don't see why you have to bring Hamer and O'Hare into the argument. It ends up with Sheaf's greatest supporters blindly slagging off O'Hare and Hamer the same way they accuse Sheaf's detractors of doing to him.
All 3 of them make mistakes, and did so on Saturday, but all have qualities too, and there is a place for all 3 to play in the team. They have all played their part in our good start to the season and when one of them is missing the team is weaker for it. Whatsmore they all have the potential to improve further so I fail to see the need to slag any of them off, although I guess that would make for a dull messageboard!

It really doesn'tFor what? Despite what you think Nick, I don't have an agenda against Sheaf.
I've praised him for about 6 weeks now.
However, that video makes him look like a lost pup.
I've said many times before on this. It's where Sheaf gives it away that results in greater moaning from the stands. It panics people. O'Hare gives the ball away loads, but there's 9 men behind him.
And that's not me being critical. Hamer and O'Hare are pretty footballers who run around, do the nice things. Sheaf is slow, a bit awkward looking on the ball. Therefore fans will turn quicker.
He does some fantastic things. He was outstanding against Sheffield United and great against Bournemouth.
It really doesn't
Robins mentioned the tendency to play blind passes in one of his interviews recently I believe in reference to sheaf. Although could well have been a general comment to.
But I think you are right, Hamer and O'Hare are nicer on the eye (football wise before there are any comments) and so fans appreciate them more. Sheaf isn't as dynamic and isn't going to be the player to do a 50 yard run, but he is a really good footballer for us, and will certainly only get better.
Fair enough Nick, your opinion. Clear as day to me that he spends the whole video chasing their midfielder.

Did you watch the game? He and McFadz were our best players.
It's clear in that video he's covering the whole of midfield on his own as well.
It's a highlight reel for that particular player, what were you expecting? It's not likely to show the times Sheaf stopped him, played past him etc is it?
He was alright, got better in the second half.
His performance wasn't even close to the two he put in at Bournemouth and Sheffield United.
The second half when the injured Hamer was off?
Sheaf will go onto play at a higher level than Hamer in the long-term.Robins mentioned the tendency to play blind passes in one of his interviews recently I believe in reference to sheaf. Although could well have been a general comment to.
