In my mind without a shadow of a doubt. The best midfield in the league (if not the most under rated). Might be a big statement to some.
although on his own he is not going to be the value of the other 3 - Allen perfectly complements them and with Gyok up front, the front 5 is the bestIn my mind without a shadow of a doubt. The best midfield in the league (if not the most under rated). Might be a big statement to some.
Im adding Ohare in there as a 3.
Doesnt get the plaudits on mainstream tv like the big 3 get.Sheaf has to be one of the most underrated players in the league.
He'll start getting a lot of interest soon I'm sure.
Yeah I think that’s right you know. Even if that means we lose one of those good players to a large fee and then reinvest in players throughout the squadI don’t think wel keep everyone together in Jan, but we’re really only a RCB, RWB, GK away from a very very good side at this level. The rest must be up there as the best in their position in the division.

His energy and running is important to our play.When talking about the midfield dispite being much milined on here I feel Jamie Allen is very much part of the reason we have the best midfield in the league,He may not be a tackler like Sheaf and Hamer but the chasing and harriying cause the opposition all sorts of problems.Thought QPR game was great example they had no time on the ball before a city player was on them.Long may it continue.
It is , did you read the boxes with the explanations ? I would before the gloatingThats not our Allen bottom left is it?

I did. I’m not sure I’d agree Sheafs role is to progress the ball more than Allen’s
I did. I’m not sure I’d agree Sheafs role is to progress the ball more than Allen’s. It’s entirely data based categorisation. Allen doesn’t progress the ball and when he does he’s not very good at it. Hardly what you want from an AM.
I've already told you Allen had played central midfield mostly this season
Hmmm. I’m really not sure how this graph disproves my point. I’m still not convinced that is our Allen, because his overall pass completion is good, but I could believe his progressive passes are particularly poor.
Yeah, if Robins was given the funds I’d back him to find those players. Though maybe not in the Jan window, so I do think a Jan sale might scupper us. But generally if we sold Vik for an eight figure sum and gave most of it to Robins I’d back him to fill out the squad. I really don’t think we’ll find another Vik though. So may have to reconfigure the style a bit. A younger Godden with pace (potentially Walker but looking less likely) being fed by O’Hare and Palmer could be interesting. Unless we can find another prolific battering ram.
My god
Well the graph states its not really Allen's job , but also at the same time suggests sheaf should be doing a bit better ?
Argue with the graph
The graph knows nothing of our team or style of play. Do you agree Sheaf plays a more progressive role in our team than Allen?
I think you at this point are the only person arguing against Allen and his input , that says alot
Yeah but he once misplaced a pass...BOOOOOOOO!
Im just telling you what the graph says!
