Mine was a guesstimate no evidenceSome said 6 weeks on another thread.
Ah right. Sorry Pete.Mine was a guesstimate no evidence
Straight in a the deep end for Victor Torp then. We need this boy to shine.6 - 8 weeks
Love Sheaf but there is an argument to suggest his injury record isn't encouraging
Missed a fair chunk of the beginning of this season and correct me if I am wrong but he kept picking up niggling little injuries last season as well
A blow.6 - 8 weeks
But it's very early days for him, and I bet the 'safety first' option of Lati will be uppermost in their minds if it's 4-2-3-1. Or try again to make 3 at the back work, maybe with some tweaks.Straight in a the deep end for Victor Torp then. We need this boy to shine.

Yes, that's how it makes me feel too (3 at the back).
We'll have to see.But it's very early days for him, and I bet the 'safety first' option of Lati will be uppermost in their minds if it's 4-2-3-1. Or try again to make 3 at the back work, maybe with some tweaks.
Why so sad Ben Sheaf?Seems to play a decent amount of games per season. Most of his lay offs are soft tissue injuries, maybes a workload issue that could be managed better, less training around games?

I actually thought in a game where we really had our backs to the wall and probably sneaked a result we shouldn't have really got Lati was excellent in midfield against LeedsWe'll have to see.
If it is Lati and Eccles (as a starting pair it's something we'll probably see for the next 2 League games) one of them, probably Eccles need to be given licence to break the lines and to play on the turn. We looked very one dimensional when Sheaf went off on Tuesday. We ended up with Thomas trying his driven balls into the forwards which generally go to the oppo.
Failing that O'Hare and Sakamoto need to be dropping in and receiving it from the defence, they have the technical security to start (and hopefully finish) attacking moves from deep.
Must have had a flashback to his time in digs in Doncaster...Why so sad Ben Sheaf?
That is the exception perhaps, defensively he is fine. In a game where we need to have some impetus to break down a team Lati may not be the answer.I actually thought in a game where we really had our backs to the wall and probably sneaked a result we shouldn't have really got Lati was excellent in midfield against Leeds
Obviously I don’t know but I reckon if he was out for that many games Robins would have brought a loan in, saying that with Torp, Eccles, Kelly, Palmer Joel .L & Allen we have options and cover again let’s take each game as it comes.Out until the international break then, missing 9 games. Need Eccles to step up big time
Due to international break that means end of march either way. So around 8 league games6 - 8 weeks
A blow.
I'm not for one second suggesting Kelly is the replacement but now the window is done and he's here, he has to be used tactically. For a start,he has tonstart against sheff wed in the cup replay to rest one of the other mainstays.
The irony is we took sheaf off at ht to protect him from injury against them and it happened 9 mins later in the next match.
Squad MUST be utilised
That’ll do it.Must have had a flashback to his time in digs in Doncaster...
Dare I say it, if Torp continues as he has we may not miss Sheaf that much…but will definitely improve when he gets back. If that makes sense.Lati, Eccles and Torp could be a good strong midfield 3 with Kelly, Lati and Allen as back up. We are ok.
After the match today?Robins said he’d be able to give an update post match today
It will all depend if it’s just a pull or a tare which can be a longish job.After the match today?
Whoo hooo, that means he must be playing then. Giving him a run out to see how it is holding up
Could have genuinely been worse, lucky there’s an international break in there6 - 8 weeks
Sheaf is too heavy for his frame and needs to lose weight?It will all depend if it’s just a pull or a tare which can be a longish job.
Lati's a fine utility player, but I'm not sure he can be backup for himself.Lati, Eccles and Torp could be a good strong midfield 3 with Kelly, Lati and Allen as back up. We are ok.
