Ben ‘sick note’ Sheaf.

We need x2 CM in this window

[Matt smith]

Got some news, but its not transfer related


Sheaf minimum of 6 weeks out. Scan done today

We HAVE to get a midfielder in or we are in real trouble

Eccles Torp Allen as the CM options for the next 10 games

Any idea how long EMC is out for @Saddlebrains

Bristol city will have been 3 weeks since injury

 

[Matt smith]

Should have sold Sheaf

 

[no_loyalty]

Just seen the binks rumours. Seems a very weird one for me. But who knows. Wonder who we’d get to replace

Michael Rose

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Probably shouldn’t have played him every single game when he was allegedly having injections anyway

 

[Matt smith]

Only blessing in disguise is that it’s another week till the next league game

surely a couple in by then and haji back in the fold

 

[quinn1971]

what an absolute shit show, down to the bare bones in midfield, Eccles. Allen and torp wouldn’t even start in a decent side, recruitment needs sacking,

 

[Saddlebrains]

Should be back in training next week

Good news mate hopefully him and haji in line for Bristol

Sheaf has been poor for a while, could be a blessing in disguise if it forces our hand to get a couple of CMs in.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

If sheaf is out for a bit and we don’t sell him, would probably just go for a 4-3-3 with Joel playing the DM

 

[Jimmy87]

That lad that’s joined Burnley was meant to be his replacement in summer if went to PSV. He was never going to come in to be a number 2 in that position.

I'm guessing so. Though he could've done with the competition this year, even if just to keep his head out of the clouds.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Least there’s that

 

[skybluecam]

Should be back in training next week

So EMC and Wright should be back in contention for Bristol, brill

March to the arch

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Oh yeah let’s all turn on our club captain and great servant sheaf, nobody wants to address the real problems though

Lati too but that leaves no option at right back and weakens the central defensive options too.

It begs the question why did we send Kai Andrews on loan at he's probably the only other possibility in the squad that naturally plays there.

 

[Matt smith]

Hopefully our squad for Bristol will look a lot healthier with at least one of the front two back and at least one addition

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Don’t think we could play Kai in one of the two DM roles, if you wanted to use one of the younger lads, maybe Kai Yearns as the ten?

 

[ptr]

With Sheaf out, can we bring an experienced player in and make them captain immediately? There is no captain amongst our current squad. Perfect excuse to get the captaincy off Sheaf because it’s been a disaster.

 

[skybluecam]

I like Sheaf but I think he would've benefitted from some time out the team, he's not played well recently. But dropping an established captain as a new manager is a bit of a no no so I can se why Lampard didn't do it. Not turning on him at all.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

The sad state we’ve got ourselves in due to shocking recruitment

 

[pusbccfc]

If the rumours were true that teams were in for Sheaf last summer for big money, it's absurd we didn't sell him.

 

[clint van damme]

what an absolute shit show, down to the bare bones in midfield, Eccles. Allen and torp wouldn’t even start in a decent side, recruitment needs sacking,

Don't worry Lati can fill in

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

If the rumours were true that teams were in for Sheaf last summer for big money, it's absurd we didn't sell him.

Sounded like we were planning to but couldn’t get his replacement in based on Doug’s comments on midfielders

 

[Captain Dart]

Don’t think we could play Kai in one of the two DM roles, if you wanted to use one of the younger lads, maybe Kai Yearns as the ten?

Maybe not, I've only seen him play for 5 mins I think but if he went in as a number 10 Rudi could drop back once the left wing is covered again.

It's looking very light on options to me.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

If the rumours were true that teams were in for Sheaf last summer for big money, it's absurd we didn't sell him.

Not forgetting he was one of the best midfielders in the league last year? Oh yeah let’s weaken our already weak midfield even more

There was no big money offers in the summer anyway, was just made up on here

 

[clint van damme]

If the rumours were true that teams were in for Sheaf last summer for big money, it's absurd we didn't sell him.

There was only 1 bid, he turned down the move.

Thought Wright was out for longer?

 

[SHUNT31]

If the rumours were true that teams were in for Sheaf last summer for big money, it's absurd we didn't sell him.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing though. Could you imagine the uproar if he had of been sold?

 

[robbiethemole]

At the start of the season, people were creaming themselves over our strength in depth, well fuck me, we're down to bare bones very quickly and looking ragged-arsed
The whole shitshow is a shambles and King & co need to step up fucking soon.

Perhaps getting injured before the season even started put an end to that possibility.

To be fair a lot of people thought we were short in midfield.
That's why thin skinned King decided to speak about it at the forum and tell us we were wrong, the fucking tit
