It’s mad to think we’ve spent £40+ mil on this squad.

And missed out on 2 midfielders and now we approach a game without a proper number 6

For a start, neither of them picked up a knock on Wednesday, and I doubt there would have been any intense training since then, mostly recovery and tactics.

So for Dovin to get injured I find that very implausible. Sheaf is injury prone but again, how would he have picked anything up? Bidwell is injured and still did the presser. Sheaf could have too.

Dovin for example can be as simple as he took a slight knock and was fine on the day but the next day his back has stiffened.

As i said maybe sheaf was having treatmetat teh time to try and get ready?

 

[Pusb1]

correct

dovin has concussion but sheaf has refused to play

he was playing as of last night

this morning words have been said and the team changed as a result

tbf if true that’s also rotten by Sheaf and he needs to be on the first taxi out the club come 1st Jan

 

[clint van damme]

Imagine that might be the end of sheaf at cov then

No chance unfortunately.
A fucking overated fanny.
Captain my arse.

 

[Nick]

Rachel is one of the U21 keepers. If Collins gets a ‘knock’…

2 keepers?

It still just seems implausible.

So for Dovin to get injured I find that very implausible.

So the first team keeper has given up his place in protest for a bloke he has known for 4 months, so that he can potentially sit on the bench for the rest of the season? That;s one of the dumbest theories I've heard - apologies, not meaning to knock you, but do you really believe that?

utter fucking bollocks

maybe he's gone to have that operation you said would but him out for months

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

2 keepers?

Yep

It's GIMOC mate

 

[bigfatronssba]

Don’t disagree about MvE though? Undeniably crap.

I’d definitely agree there.

Most of them have been crap tbh

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

On good authority, Sheaf's injured

@Jimmy87 liked this so gonna go with this

Where did I say it was because of protest or refusing to play?

Was replying to cov4life

 

[Mr Panda]

I thought Sheaf had no backbone - how would he have words to say

 

[bigfatronssba]

He's played 7 matches and has been good In half of those

He’s been alright at best.

At no point did I think I was watching one of the best players in the division.

I’m overly critical of him because I know he’s better than how he’s been playing

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

That team hurts my eyes. Back 5 with Lati in midfield I think? No Sheaf…

No sheaf, sick note strikes Again.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Where did I say it was because of protest or refusing to play?

So what are you claiming it is, then?

 

[Tommo1993]

I’d definitely agree there.

Most of them have been crap tbh

Which is why most of my anger is directed at them who have, imo, ultimately rid the club of two very successful managerial figures.

 

[hill83]

4-0 win to us today

On good authority

 

[Nick]

I thought Sheaf had no backbone - how would he have words to say

Well yeah, he was called all the names under the sun because Bidwell did an interview. Now he's gone on strike.

 

[wingy]

Come in agent Moore!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

So what are you claiming it is, then?

I don’t know, I just find it unlikely they both suddenly got injured in two days of light to no training.

 

[Briles]

The Sheaf comment is bullshit. In fact I know it is. Not sure what people get out of twisting the knife

 

[Nick]

4-0 win to us today

On good authority

Will give it to charity if it wins

Or I will buy candles to light outside the CBS.

 

[Chris1987]

It's doesn't get any better looking at Collins in goal , that midfield and then seeing the useless BTA upfront. Long afternoon ahead.

 

[clint van damme]

The Sheaf comment is bullshit. In fact I know it is. Not sure what people get out of twisting the knife

Which comment?
Him refusing to play or being a shite captain and a useless c**t?

Because the 2nd bit is definitely true.

 

[David O'Day]

It's proper weird and when you think about pretty unbelievable.

He's not going to sink any potential bigger move by going to strike.

Four candles?

The first one. Although I disagree with the second too tbf

 

[David O'Day]

[Nick]

Four candles?

Yeah I will nip to Decathalon and get four skins to keep everybody warm.

 

[wingy]

What do we get here?
Lamb's or Lion's, can't believe he hasn't got some youth out there tbh,a midfielder!

 

[Jimmy87]

Sounds like Lampards likely then. You are one of the few people who I actually find trustworthy!

Who knows what King is thinking at this point. He is the only name I have heard though, yes.
Also, players were told no immediate social media posts, wasn't through choice.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

That’s bull shit

sheaf isnt going to nuke his career
