Nailed on I was told Evatt wants him as captain for next season. 

Fine by me

Other than a few early misplaced passes I thought Erhahon contributed really well to a hard working, dominant, midfield performance. I just love the balance and protection he brings to that left side.

But I’ll also give Simons a lot of credit too. I’ve re-watched the game this afternoon, he got some vital challenges and clearances in.  
 

Similarly both Mcatee and Dalby had fine cameos too. 

I am putting the main reason GJ played well was because he did not have to worry if he stepped up nobody would cover behind. EE give him that confidence.....As well as Sheehan or RR do in midfield they both venture forward more than EE and  if the ball is knocked over the top usually our two midfielders plus Johnson are caught upfield but EE usually hangs back to cover

I thought EE was immense, dropped into the back line when needed, broke play up in midfield and put pressure on them constantly. 

Obv fitness is an issue but he does get around. 

For me, him and Simons are very similar players, that being Simons is better on the ball, EE better at breaking it up. 

I don't think we'd see them both on the pitch at the same time as they're similar, just glad to have them both back. 

 

Did anyone see Apter having a fitness test/training alone before kick off.. 

One player always does Ritchie was doing it a few games ago its so that if we get an injury in the warm up that player can come straight onto the bench

Forino is class. Proper no nonsense centreback gets in the way of everything.

Captain and first choice in a new defence next season

I don't know if he's out of contract (presume not) but there are at least 3 reasons he'll be here if SS is: 1.  He's a left footed CB 2. He can also play LB at a decent level, so can cover 2 positions unlike say Forino or Dalby 3. He hasn't been dropped once this season, a virtual ever present.  If SS only keeps 2 under contract players next season it will be Sheehan and GJ, IMO.

Sheehan signed a new contract around August/September time... TuTu, GJ, Dempsey and Christie are all out of contract and i would thank everyone of them then move them on.
