    I must admit i thought he'd get snapped up by another Champ team after Oxfords relegation but maybe Sheff have gone in earlier than the rest or trying to jump on the deal while Oxford dont have a manager?

    Depends how they are defining a long ball as those figures are way too high for all of the players you'd think. Players just aren't that accurate at this level

    I remember we were linked with him nearly a decade ago now. McCall really wanted him when he left Liverpool.

    Yeah he's always been really well thought of at this level and numbers held up in the champ, seems like a very smart signing for Sheff. They are bringing Bannan back too.

    Just looking over Macaulay Gillespheys stats for Charlton, very similar to Baldwins on the ball. He averages 4 successful long passes per game with a 36% success rate, averaging per 90 they are pretty identical to each other.

    From Powers passing last season, he was dropping deeper and passing mainly from the left channel, Baldwin from the right. Maybe we are looking for different profiles in midfield and will be using Baldwin at RCB, Gillesphey at LCB and will be pinging from the back and having leggy midfielders to get up and support Beesley? Probably a better midfield balance for whoever the two end up being in the middle.

    Bannon will struggle to last a season at best. I watched him make small cameo roles in the play offs as a sub . The game looked to pass him by.?

    Is it possible that is because another club have shown they are willing to pay more than Wednasday? Certainly if MKD want someone, they have shown they are not too bothered about the cost.
