Sheaf Saint

Wasn't that Adams? It all stemmed from someone pointing out when we signed him that a lot of the goals in his highlights reel were scuffed.

It goes back longer than that. There was plenty of incompetence and corruption in John Major's government. It's one of the main reasons they lost the 1997 election so heavily.

The Met have now launched a criminal investigation into Mandelson.

Well let's hope he has a Killer instinct in the box.

Initial bid. Doesn't mean we won't go back with an improved offer.

You just know we will though.

Nathan Redmond has left Sheff Weds after joining them as a free agent in the autumn and having played a grand total of 137 minutes.

Yeah he won't be missed. The very best you can say about his time with us is that he was a useful squad player in our 23/24 promotion season. That's it. Never done anything of note, and certainly did nothing to warrant having his own song (that our fans bizarrely seemed to love singing even when he wasn't playing), when much better players than him never got one. Very glad to see his wages off the books finally.

I take your general point. But Welington has been fit and available ever since we sacked Still. Given how much of an upgrade he has been in the last few games, persisting with Manning in that position for so long was ridiculous.

Weeks? Imagine if they'd clocked it all in 2022!

Well, according to ping-pong, we badly missed Baz today.

It's really not rocket science is it. THB and Stephens both work much better together in a CB pair. And Welington is light years ahead of Manning. We could have played those three and, prior to selling, put Edwards in at RB while Jelert and Roerslev were injured. The claim that we absolutely had to play the shitty back 5 formation with the players available just doesn't wash.

Yep. A superb stop.

Great result, and a much more convincing performance. Seven points from nine is very welcome. Of course you all have me to thank, because I chucked £20 on us to be relegated after the Hull game.

Two absolutely top drawer saves today. He reacts quickly to come out to gather through balls as well - a notable one in the first half when Stephens had been beaten. The most telling thing for me is that he looks confident, rather than being terrified of the ball when it comes into the box. A proper goalkeeper at last.
