By playing when he’s actually ready and not being rushed back like every time he’s injured.
The thing is we have to try and rush him back because our midfield is so feckin light....grrr why didn't we get someone else it cost us last night and will continue to do so

the issue is we don’t have enough depth in the middle. robins and sheaf to a certain extent probably want to come back quicker than he should because they know we’re short

hopefully it’s nothing
Just seen you had already noted this point

Tbf robins been silly saying what he did.

It’s normal to ice after game if no injury anyway. Icing will be part of recovery process for sheaf to help reaction as he returns.

MR should have known better than to say that in public domain as it would just create hysteria.

Robins probably wants to make a point about midfield cover. He knows we are light and he will be setting expectations/making a point to DK. In the same way he did last season about fatigue/strength in depth when he was refusing to rest players against rotherham/Oxford etc.

IF Sheaf has been injured again, the inability reinforce CM is looking even more genius isn't it.
 
We all know that our midfield has really lacked Ben's leadership and experience so far but it will take a while to feed him back into the match day squad and build up his fitness. Seeing him for 20 odd minutes last night was a step in the right direction but people will be expecting him to start on Saturday and that just isn't realistic. Maybe Mark Robins is tempering expectations by saying that he's been icing his ankle so us fans don't get too far ahead of ourselves.

On the flip side for 70 odd minutes our midfield was the best I have seen it this season but the £150million worth of talent that Spurs were able to bring off the bench changed the dynamic. On that note I have to give shout out to Josh Eccles, I have been critical of him on many occasion but last night he was as good as I have seen him play in a City shirt.

Dint someone say he looked like he was limping walking in to the stadium.

absolute ridiculous to risk him when not fit or even up to speed

lets not all pretend that icing muscles isnt pretty normal after sport

its probably just Robins managing expectations about him being back to 100% and us all expecting him to be starting on Saturday

actually, lets all just get fake outraged so we can be negative again 🤦‍♂️ 😂

We can play without Sheaf as we showed last night. At the moment we can’t trust him to be fit and is a ticking time bomb when he comes back from an injury. I like Sheaf but I would be looking to cash in on him next summer and using that money to properly sort out the talent and squad depth in CM.

My son has a similar injury recently. "Stretched" ankle ligaments. Physio has advised even when it feels 100% he should ice it after each session/game.

I watched Sheaf warming up. He was doing the same exercises my son has been told to do.

The midfield has lacked Ben's leadership?

We brought our 'captain' on, and we've capitulated again, including one howler from him personally. If you go through the stats of how we perform with him in the team, our form is weaker when he plays, which is a massive red flag for a captain. I know a lot of people think he's fucking fantastic, but last night was another example of anything other than leadership.

We lack some experience in midfield, and we are definitely a bit short in that area, but that should have been resolved in the transfer window.

In his defence he’s clearly not fully fit or match sharp. Brought on out of necessity to protect those who’ll be starting in 2 days

Just because he was rusty as fuck when he came on, which he definitely was, doesn't mean we haven't missed him. Midfield is a huge problem area that should have been addressed so we could cope without him better, but here we are.

The type of injury it is can reccur easily if not 100% healed

It seems that we are playing a risky game with him at the moment
With what medical background or Sheaf specific medical history is this opinion based on?

Just write nonsense and people jump on it.

He's had 2 great matches for the City.
One versus Wolves. One versus Man Utd.
The others he has done what he did last night thrown in a shocking pass or two when sat in front of the defensive line & put us under pressure or cost us a goal. Too casual for me doesn't sense danger. That ball last night should of been into the right hand channel.
