Tbh , not sure that's fair really

Why?

You can’t play crap, get the manager sacked, and then act horrified by it

I have it on good authority that Sheafs trying to torpedo his career by having a strop and refusing to play, and it's definitely not that an injury prone player has picked up a knock.

It's not all on sheaf is it

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

On good authority - sheafs refusing to play becuase lamps is taking his spot in CM

 

[GIMOC]

on good authority , sheafs refused to play

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

 

[Briles]

What’s the record defeat in the Championship?

8-0

 

[Nick]

 

[Evo1883]

It is. He’s been very poor this season.

He's been hit and miss admittedly.. but he's only played 7 matches

 

[Tommo1993]

Sheaf has been slightly disappointing. MvE has been the let down. Shite all season.

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Why don’t you start a poll about it

I think it’d be an overwhelming majority in the category of “what the fuck is Carr doing?”

 

[bigfatronssba]

It's not all on sheaf is it

No I hold all of them collectively responsible.
I’m only singling him out on this because it was suggested that he’s refused to play

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

You hope its true and there's not bigger problems behind the scenes but sending Bidwell out to do the press and now this does all seem a bit off.

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.

 

[Major Tom]

This thread is full of conspiracy theorists .. social media 2024 .. what’s shit storm
Sheaf injured and doing a presser at the end of the game.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Should have made Raphael do the press conference , would have been biblical

I heard they did but nobody in the media room believed he was a player as they’ve never seen him and security escorted him away

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He's been hit and miss admittedly.. but he's only played 7 matches

Dreadful Wednesday

 

[David O'Day]

okay,

Is that team so weird give the fit players?

We won't have done much more than recovery Thursday anyway which leaves only Friday to prepare so we are not likely to change the system. Given the injuries it kind of makes sense. Not a good team but i can see why it is picked.

Lati is going to me in midfield as it's him or a full debut for a kid

Simms is likely just coming back from an injury.

 

[David O'Day]

Ok

That's it, textbook work

 

[bigfatronssba]

Sheaf has been slightly disappointing. MvE has been the let down. Shite all season.

Disagree.

Sheaf has been awful this season considering he has the ability to be the best midfielder in the championship

 

[Marty]

Can't even get the squad numbers correct, club is in turmoil.

 

[Chris1987]

That midfield is going to get run ragged.
Difficult to be optimistic with that line up.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

In two days with light training if any?

How many times has there been a team announcement, and a player or two is out - countless. It's f*ckin' stupid conspiracy nonsense. Did you say the same when Simms was out the other day? Clubs don't give away team selection updates beforehand - Doak was out for MBoro against us (no mention of an issue beforehand - these things happen!)

 

[Evo1883]

Disagree.

Sheaf has been awful this season considering he has the ability to be the best midfielder in the championship

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

 

[David O'Day]

You hope its true and there's not bigger problems behind the scenes but sending Bidwell out to do the press and now this does all seem a bit off.

Not if Sheaf is injured, he could of been receiving treatment to try and get him fit for today at the time of the presser.

 

[Tommo1993]

Disagree.

Sheaf has been awful this season considering he has the ability to be the best midfielder in the championship

Don’t disagree about MvE though? Undeniably crap.

 

[covcity4life]

Imagine that might be the end of sheaf at cov then

Is it loyalty to robins or a bit of him wanting to be sold quickly on January? Get his asking price down too

 

[torchomatic]

Fuck me. Brad Collins. Atmos a bit funereal at the moment in the stands. Everyone pretty quiet.

 

[Jimmy87]

Jimmy, any truth in Lampard?

I'd heard Lampard, after the QPR match, was told the same yesterday. Read that we'd approached for Wycombe manager, but not heard that personally. My money would be on King going after a 'name'. Seems to be the type to want people talking about us.

 

[chiefdave]

Maybe they didn't want to give away the fact that Sheaf was injured

Wanted to surprise them with our tactical masterpiece of 6 defenders!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

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

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

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

 

[David O'Day]

I have it on good authority that Sheafs trying to torpedo his career by having a strop and refusing to play, and it's definitely not that an injury prone player has picked up a knock.

Aye, nothing is going to make hi more attractive to the bigger clubs he thinks he ca play for than downing tools when a manager is sacked. The PL will be all over him now.

 

[Ian1779]

Dropped just as Dovin has been too.
Injured my arse.

 

[Tommo1993]

Fuck me. Brad Collins.

Don’t be so selfish, he’ll be fucking us all today.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Well done Doug tear down everything built over 7 years

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