We are 35 mins in and I am finding it hard to find one player who is having a good game, granted some have played ok but nobody is standing out, grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck. We have players who can or should be able to do this like NML, Bird, Hourhane, CBT.

Sibley’s probably been the best of a poor bunch

If I was Sibley I’d be employing a specialist defence coach. Think he could be a solid solid left back if he just works on a bit of positioning. He’s got the technical ability to get out of tight situations and try passes that aren’t completely aimless. 

Went from being an U18 PL champion, to scoring a 25-yard cracker on his full debut and then banging in a hat-trick on his second start, resulting in speculation of a £20m+ move to the Premier League.

To now being a makeshift LB in the third tier, a squad player only stepping in as our 34-year-old regular is out injured.

Seriously, wtf happened?

Why does sibley feel he has to shoot or cross the second he enters the final third

Presumably he's acting under instructions. Warne insists on getting the ball into the box as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, I'm only listening to Radio Derby, but an incident sounded weird. Sibley apparently elbowed in the face, drawing blood. No freekick given. Sibs has lengthy treatment, yet despite this being an obvious head injury, is ordered to leave the field allowing Cheltenham to attack 10 men, Barks having to deputize as left back. And, to compound this, the referee would not let Sibley back onto the field for a long time. What is going on with the officials? How can they be so very poor?
