Not announced yet, but with final day of PL kicking off at 4 theyll want the L1 game out the way including any extra time etc, so I'm thinking 1230 or 1. Shite. Quote

Imagine Bolton & Stockport fans all on the same trains trying to get to Wembley for a 12.30 kickoff on a Sunday. Avanti are sure to fuck it up. Quote

Wycombe (h) - Taken off after 64 minutes (score 0-2) Rotherham (a) - Taken off after 45 minutes (score 0-2) Port Vale (a) - Taken off after 61 minutes (score 0-1) We've kept three clean sheets with him in the side - Wimbledon, Northampton at home (shit result, hooked after an hour) and Mansfield away (vs ten men). Doesn't scream defensive solidity and can't do half of what RR does going forward. I'm convinced it's a myth that Erhahon offers some sort of defensive cover. For every time I've seen him put in a successful tackle I reckon there's a matching scenario where they've gone through him like he's a fucking hologram. Struggling to see what he brings. Also convinced that suggesting Erhahon replaces Sheehan in any scenario is the first sign of madness. Quote

Well one small problem with that is the first train is 8am and with the Sunday noise restrictions in place takes 3hrs so doesn’t land in to Euston until 11am Maybe time for 1 drink before your en route to the ground. Shite. Plus it’s already about £120 edit: united potentially passing through going to Brighton, Everton down the Liverpool route and Leeds & Newcastle going down the other side Edited Wednesday at 05:40 by barrycowdrill Quote

Whatever it was that he was brought in to be I've not seen enough of it. He's not an enforcer, a protector of back 4s or a box to box type, and can't sustain what he does do for more than 70 minutes without starting to run through treacle. He has a nice left foot, looks after the ball well and can pick a pass now and then but that's about it. Lincoln haven't crumpled in a heap without him. Quote

Sheehan is one of our better players but at times its Horses for courses......If it was Port Vale in the play-offs would you play him if we was protecting a one goal lead? In a nutshell? Yes. Right now, I'd pick Sheehan for every game he's fit for. This cowfield at Bradford; is it the same cowfield that the lightweight Cissoko dribbled their full back to death on? Quote
masi 51 Posted Wednesday at 08:35 Posted Wednesday at 08:35 Cissoko is a enigma, but he is hitting a rich vain of form......Sheehan is not the player away he is at home. I think SS thinks more along your line of thought so i do not think you have anything to be concerned about. Quote

EE has imo been a disappointment this season but that for me is because I had high expectations. He rarely gets forward and is very one footed. However even in a two he is more left sided and that is where we are most vulnerable. Hard to see him being risked after injury in a play off game when we other options in midfield. If we were up after first leg I would have no issue playing him in a three with Sheehan and RR. But doubt that is the SS plan. Just being up after first leg would be great ! Can worry about formations later ! Quote
masi 51 Posted Wednesday at 09:31 Posted Wednesday at 09:31 I had great expectations this season for EE but he has really not got going. Dalby was the same but he raised his game and got himself fit where as EE just gone from one niggling injury to the next. He would have been ideal in a Evatt team, but when we only have two midfielders i am not sure what he can offer in that set up, RR has moved ahead of him and unless he gets his head down pre-season i am not sure he will be anything but a bit part player.....I know he is better than that but offers little in a two Quote

Despite his form dropping off a cliff XS has been much better than EE I thought we'd found a gem at the start the season Such a shame he couldn't keep it up Quote

He’s still young and has never had a full season at this level. He’ll be busting s gut to get back into it and I have no worries that he will come back better and stronger. Quote

I hope he does, he was ace early doors, the bastard we've been crying out for But you can't deny the drop in form was alarming Same happened to Burstow and ACD but they've regained some form XS barely gets a kick these days Quote

We can end up with a back 6 and a front 4 with not a lot in the middle. Think it was Reading early season and XS and EE ran a master class for about an hour, but once Reading pressed and chucked an extra body in there we were over run. EE over 200 appearances 5 goals XS 87 appearances 4 goals Sheehan 320. Appearances 29 goals So 600 combined appearances and 38 goals. As individuals it is not a problem but as a combination scoring 1 goal in 15 between them puts a lot of pressure on the forwards. Just got numbers from wiki so might not be 100% but have 3 midfielders who hardly threaten is going to be a worry. Quote
