I’m saying Sheaf got caught in possession and cost us a goal and didn’t look likely to help us get any kind of morale boosting consolation. Ok, we were already 4-0 down.
If anyone ever points out Sheaf having poor positional sense there’s a few clearly blind posters on here who start chatting absolute crap and talk about stats.
Weird.

Just got back.
Their tactics spot on. Defenders pushed really high line up to centre small tight pitch. Played high tempo mixed it up football. Couldn't live with them the left hand they ripped is apart . Adejbajo gave JCS nightmares.
It was a bad day at the office.
Hyam and Maatsen only 2 for me to come out of that with any credit.
Robins tactically got it wrong. Waghorn should my have played. Hamer and Allen over run in midfield.
Less said about sheaf the better.
Why not? That’s what we’re sayingThey’re probably saying we looked shite.
Ok. It was McFadzean’s fault.Sheaf was slow reacting but McFadzean pass set him up and was careless. Players who have really stepped up this season fell down the stairs tonight.
Come on mate, he’s not here any more, it’s ok.Why some people have an obsession with idolising a player who is such a calamity is beyond me.
Ok. It was McFadzean’s fault.
Thing is, it was the third or fourth time that Sheaf had given the ball away in the short time that he was on. Watch the footage back.
Ben Sheaf often gives the ball away. He’s a liability. Our form improved last season when we bombed him and got Matty James in. A holding midfielder who flaps as soon as an opponent comes anywhere near is a liabity.
“we were 4-0 down”. Ok. Had we been winning or drawing the Sheaf would have cost us a point at least as he did last season.
Ben Sheaf is like Adam Barton. Some people see something in him - I don’t - it’s their opinion - they are entitled to it.

Fuck me, what would have to happen for someone to get less than 5 ?5s all round.
Moore - 4.
Let 5 goals in and you’re gonna get marked down. Distribution was poor and cost us no end of throw ins against. He’s a good goalkeeper who had a bad game.
Hyam - 6
Was let down by those around him. Couple of decent forward runs, best of a bad back line.
McFadzean - 4
As per Moore - if you’re the skipper, the defensive mainstay and you lose 5 - 0 against a mediocre team then you’re going to get a poor mark.
JCS - 4
Unlucky to give the penalty away and couldn’t handle the big fella he was meant to mark. Poor
Kane - 6
Ok but we miss Dabo. Some good crosses but an equal number of wayward ones.
Hamer - 4
Didn’t see the free kick he gave away that lead to his booking and second goal but after that his head went down and he became a passenger. Couple of good corners but overall poor.
Allen - 5
Was mainly outmuscled and overwhelmed in midfield. A few decent runs but nothing special.
Maatsen -5
Tried hard but everything he did seemed to go the wrong way. Slow tracking back which left us having to deal with an overload on their right. He needs to sort that.
O’Hare -5
Couldn’t seem to get his game going. Gets fouled a lot. This is where we need our skipper / big character player to have a word with the player (in this case Rae?) that keeps fouling him. I can imagine Doyle would have had a “kind word” and a tough tackle to even it up. Needed Kelly on not Sheaf after h/t
Waghorn - 4
1 goal in 8/9 games? Not good enough.
Györkeres - 7
Our only threat. Kept going. Subbed I think as the game was already lost.
Subs.
Sheaf - 10 (MOM)
Never got caught in possession- always found his pass, commanded the midfield. If anyone dare say any different at least 10 people from the Coventry Specsavers Testing Team who post on here will tare you to shreads.
Rose -6
Well we didn’t let any more in
Walker -6
Tried but needs to play off a Target man. We haven’t got one in Vik goes off.
Don’t mention Max else the forum police will have you arrested.
Sheaf comes on at 4-0 down and still gets blamed for a 5-0 defeat. Couldn’t make it up. Some people are an absolute parody on here.
You're guilty of the same sort of reaching some posters respond to your posts with.
No ones blaming him for a 5-0 defeat, they're criticising his performance for the time he was on the pitch and hispart in the shambolic 5th goal.
I think the issue is that some are 100% blaming sheaf for that goal. Anyone who has ever played football at any level can see that he was passed the ball and had no call that he had a man on. Then the leap that he is shit and always gives the ball away based on a few times last season, when hes been outstanding in all appearances this season bar last night.

We got beat at our own game , high intensity got pressured into mistakes and looking like the ball was the proverbial hot potatoI'm not going to say any of our players were shit. Luton's tactics made us shit, which is a lot more worrying than putting it down to a bad day at the office by any of our players.
That's how you beat us easily. Pressure us.
He was definitely partly culpable for the goal though given what had gone on before it seems pointless debating it.
And McFadzean was culpable for a couple too yet the level of comments about him compared to Sheaf is wildly out of whack.
Point is some people are waiting for any fuck up to climb back on their hobby horse. Aside from Hyam and maybe Kane (two players I’ve not been impressed with generally FYI) they were all awful last night. Picking out a second half sub is ludicrous.
I've got Faz as involved in 3!
I like certain things about his game.Do u not lyk Sheaf M8?

To claim he’s a liability is ridiculous. Robins would no doubt say you’re talking utter shite as well.I like certain things about his game.
His awareness of opposition players around him is dreadful. Others on here can waffle what they like, but I stand by it: Sheaf is a liability.
Now then:
Nothing worse than someone pointing out a problem without offering a solution.
Sheaf needs to be set aside in training and have one to one training on ball retention. He needs to look around a lot more.
Put 2 or 3 u23’s on him. Each time they nick the ball off him he gives them £20. He’ll soon learn.
Gyokeres the only player for me to really show any impression.
O’Hare gets battered during a game and nobody really does anything, that annoys me. I would like to see someone pressuring the ref after the first foul and let him know early to keep an eye on it. And every foul after be all over it like a rash. It’s irritating how we just seem to let it slide and don’t react.
Fuck me, what would have to happen for someone to get less than 5 ?
What your actually suggesting is that a putrid rotten decaying corpse, dumped on the half way line, and left there for the duration of a game, would still get a 5 !
Per 90 minutes comparison this season.
Its nonsense to say he is a liability and rubbish at ball retention.
