Sheaf 7 - Will never be eyecatching but does his role well.
It's genuinely probably 2 players we need and for nothing to be provided is pretty disappointing when you see how close we are to being a genuine challenging side.
Sheaf sublime again. Our best player by a country mile at the moment. We have a serious player on our hands.
You said we needed at least four players at the weekend!
He's still getting back to match fitness, he was fine tonight defensively and did two good things going forward (aforementioned cross and the little dink of to Shipley first half). Looked pretty solid to me.I don’t “get” him. Doesn’t beat a man, not great defensively, has a good cross but doesn’t seem to want to take up positions where he’ll receive it and whip one in. I do like that he arrives back stick though, been one of my bugbears about our wingbacks.

I think it will take a few weeks for him to get it into his legs the work he has to do here and also pick up our system. I'll reserve judgement for a while.I don’t “get” him.

Sheaf and the back three all excellent.
Eccles did well for first start of the season and out of position.
Waghorn and O'Hare both showed their class coming on and changing things.
Gyo a different player after he scored.
Pitch invader - 1
Didn’t look committed at all, couldn’t even beat the first man.

Nothing provided? Doesn’t Bidwell count?Sheaf's progress this season has been something to really enjoy and he doesn't seem to break much sweat doing it either. We really need more bodies in both midfield slots but with no help incoming Eccles will have to step up.

I think you are thinking of cricketreally happy with eccles. needs more runs.

When we scored young lad must have been about 8 or 9 cane running in the pitch from around block 22 or 23.Pitch invader? When was this?

He got about 10-15 yards onto the pitch with a Steward chasing him and gave up. Fair play to the steward he was just put back into the crowd.God knows how I didn't see that, was in 26!
Its not hindsight when you saw it from the beginning but I'll admit that I was being purposely argumentative.Any actual opinions of your own, or just hindsight?
He was winning headers too..outjumping the 6footers!! He was possessed.Was it Allen earlier in the season who had about 3 games in a row as a defensive midfielder enforcer? Just kept breaking up, blocking, intercepting everything
cheers steveI think you are thinking of cricket

(O'Hare) Snatched at his chance for 2-0...is the Pope a catholic?Moore 7 (no save to make but his use of the ball with hands and feet was impeccable)
Eccles 8 (out of position and lack of experience but unfazed)
Hyam 9 (some excellent headers and incisive passing when coming forward. A little spell midway where he got into some trouble hence not my motm)
McFadzean 8 (caught out early on but not troubled too much. Dictated the pace from the back)
Clarke-Salter 9 (Mr Consistent since return from injury. Strong defensively and mixed it up coming forward)
Bidwell 7 (did okay and pleased he lasted the 90. A couple of decent balls into the box)
Hamer 8 (quick, sharp interchanges first half and crucial block for Ince's early effort. Volleyed pass to Eccles was sublime)
Sheaf 9 (Mr Consistent no2. Carrying his form over with his control of the midfield. Caught in possession in defensive areas a couple of times. Got the assist)
Shipley 7 (makes decent runs off the ball, getting into good positions. Should have scored one of his two chances. We do lose the intensity of the press though)
Allen 9 motm (was main outlet creating half chances; worked his socks off; and then seamlessly shifting into defensive midfield winning headers and blocks in our area. Like a terrier all game)
Gyokeres 7 (really struggled to link the play first half but kept working and scored with his most difficult chance. Tail up after that and loved his Noel Whelan style run near the end)
Waghorn 7 (looked sharp. Managed the game well)
O'Hare 7 (did what he needed to do. Involved in the press which led to goal. Snatched at his chance for 2-0)
Dacosta na
Ohare is a luxury we dont need according to lots of people on here. If ever it was needed, last night showed how important he is to our system and style of play. Until he came on we had near on zero link up around their box.I thought it really showed the difference in quality when O'Hare came on compared to Shipley. Despite the latter doing fine.
