On-loan Town striker Jon Stead has been named in the Football League’s Team of the Week after netting Coventry’s goal in their 1-0 victory at Peterborough on Saturday.
Stead has scored two goals in his last two games for the Sky Blues, having failed to net in his first two appearances.
Also in this week’s select team are Blackpool keeper Matthew Gilks, who helped prevent the Blues from scoring at Bloomfield Road despite having 22 shots on or off target, and former Town midfielder Darren Ambrose.
Team of the Week: Matthew Gilks (Blackpool), Matthew Connolly (QPR), Shaun Barker (Derby), Sean St Ledger (Preston), Chris Cohen (Nottm Forest), Darren Ambrose (Crystal Palace), Danny Guthrie (Newcastle), Alejandro Faurlin (QPR), Jon Stead (Coventry), Billy Sharp (Doncaster), Jay Emmanuel-Thomas (Doncaster).

Not sure what the point of "Team of the Week" is, really. It's not as if that team gets assembled for real to play a game and prove a theoretical point is it ?

Little managerial tip for you Roy. If you want to solve the goalscoring problem, don't keep letting your best strikers go. You did it in the summer with Rhodes, and you've done it again with Stead. It's not rocket science.

this was a worse decision letting stead go than selling rhodes IMO, we didnt know if rhodes would have been any good at this level but it turns out we should have kept him. But atleast we knew what stead could do....he was our top scorer ffs, you dont loan out your top scorer, no matter how many hes scored. And hes proved that with his last two goals, which btw were quality, go watch them keane, then you might (im not holding my breath) realize what you let go and accept you made a stupid decision!!!

YEP, Steady,shows yet again R K s managerial skills,Oh well when we reach the heady heights of league one ,no doubt RK [who played for M U and is best mates with Sir Alex, and is a magnetic god for players seeking a transfer to better themselves] will realise the error of his ways . IN KEANE WE ARE BUST .

Oh dear, salt on wound, nice! Didn't rate him highly but he did put in the effort and was highest scorer. Another questionable decision by RK. I think Murphy is a better player and Healy could be but these guys are rusty and can't expect them to hit top form straight away when they have been on the bench for months, which is where Stead would have still been useful. Perhaps if Pablo and Garvan are played a bit more they may have something to get on the end of? IMO both Murphy and Healy are useful players and could do well when fit and sharper. Shame Walters hasn't popped up with many goals this year, loads of effort but no end product for sometime.
