I don't think Erhahon helps. He's neither one sort of midfielder or the other. Shame Simons has gone so far backwards from his early promise.

Simons might need game time.

Blimey.  I couldn't disagree more.  Erhahon has been superb since he came in imo

Seems to start each game with a few clangers but he's been fantastic recently. 

Issue is that him and Sheehan don't work as they should.

It’s all about opinions I know but erhahon has looked like the player we hoped he’d be in the last few games.

Thought Erhahon was excellent for much of yesterday. He’s a bit better on the ball than he probably gets credit for, and for all the combinations we’ve tried, I still think Sheehan playing further in front of Erhahon and Simons is the one that gives us the most variation.

Erhahon's issue is he fades after 65-70 minutes and can't sustain his coverage of ground. With only Sheehan in there with him we lose our shape and composure if teams up it and get at us late on.

Our goal was bad timing in a way, it came around that 65 minute mark, they immediately made positive changes and got on top of us. 

There's a lot Erhahon does that I like, reads game well, looks after the ball very well, yesterday he did all of that and was really good for an hour. Where SS has slipped up is not seeing it soon enough and not having a robust DM type to replace him for 20 minutes in those circumstances. He's less of an issue in games where we have all the ball late on and are chasing it. 

It also didn't help that CBT and Apter were also both fading.

Hugely unpopular view I suspect but a more pragmatic manager, such as Big Sam, would have whizzed the wingers off, put Conway at LWB, Tutu at RWB, Christie and Johnston FBs, kept it solid for 15 mins and challenged them to get through us, while we might hit them on the break. It wasn't a game where we'd go on and pummel them 2 or 3-0

While SS said he was keen to address the 'availability' issue from last season, we have too many who can't last the full 90+ minutes

They are the better one I think

Are they not just two versions of the same club, like you get at kids football?

... part of the full Evatt backline that still exists at the club and i would like to see that broken up.

So Conway, Toal & Forino, plus Tutu.

I get that we have weakness but would you boot out Conway & Forino ?

With the amount of players out of contract/on loan, getting to the Championship timing wise would be great. Our problem is if we're still down in League One, how we the plan for the coming season. 

You just hope you don't get stuck with League One level players on 2-3 year contracts that you cant shift.

Petrol is really expensive right now, but I'm happy to start a GoFundMe page to help him leave...

I was amazed that he's only 27 tbh.

He certainly swallowed the Evatt 'sideways and backwards' manual. It appears, once consumed, it's difficult to get shut of.

Not them all 3 are under contract but TuTu is not a full back or a good winger , on good wages time for him to go

If SS plays next season with wingbacks certainly keep Conway, i like Forino but i would listen to offers for Toal

We need lumps certainly if we stay down and better if we go up

How do you know he is on good wages????
