Please use the buttons below to see more information on Sale Sharks and matches between Wasps and Sharks over the years.
The match will go down as very scrappy and full of handling errors from both sides, but the lack of depth in the London Wasps side was evident.
Warren Gatland said, 'Unfortunately the harsh reality of this loss is that if you take four or five key players out of the side, our depth is not good enough'.
Key players such as Lawrence Dallaglio, Simon Shaw, Joe Worsley, Phil Greening and Peter Scrivener have proven to be the cornerstone on which the side revolves, unfortunately with the corner stone missing, London Wasps paid the price with the first home loss in more than a year.
The game started at a quick pace and with both sides looking to establish themselves early on, it didn't take long before Alex King was given the ball and asked to slot an easy penalty. He made no mistake and the home side led 3-0.
The Sharks game plan was revolved around scrumhalf Nick Walshe and flyhalf Jos Baxendell, and it was obvious early on that the two kickers would control the pattern of play. A neat cross-field kick from Baxendell nearly ended up in the hands of Mark Cueto in the in goal area. Fortunately, Cueto knocked on. It wasn't long after that, that the Men in Black got penalised for diving over the maul and Walshe made no mistake to level the scores at 3-3.
Two minutes later, the Sharks were penalised for coming into ruck from wrong side, King missed the long-range attempt, but made up for it when a few moments later the Sharks conceded another penalty. King sailed the ball between the uprights and London Wasps lead 6-3
The first try of the game came in the 18th minute, courtesy of winger Shane Roiser. A scrum awarded to London Wasps near the Sharks tryline, saw a quick ball feed to Roiser, who has proven deadly from that short range and finding the tryline. King converted and the home supporters cheered on as London Wasps opened a 13-3 lead.
Halfway through the first half, the rain came down and the match became riddled with handling errors and players sliding all over the place.
Walshe narrowed the gap, with another penalty, to 13-6, and with halftime approaching, it didn't take long before pressure from the Sharks forwards resulted in quick turnover ball. Sharks captain, Stuart Pinkerton charged towards the London Wasps tryline and a neat layoff to Dean Schofield, saw the big lock crash over. Walshe missed the easy conversion and Rob Howley lead his team off leading 13-11.
The second half saw Mark Van Gisbergen replacing King after an awkward fall saw him sustain whiplash.
It didn't take long before poor tackling in the 45th minute saw Sharks lock, Chris Jones, waltz through the London Wasps defence and score the Sharks second try. Walshe converted and the Manchester based side found themselves in front 13-18.
With the home crowd still stunned at the ease of the try, Van Gisbergen was adding another penalty in the 48th minute and closed the gap to 16-18.
The rain was still ever present and with the ball like a cake of soap, catching any high ball was proving to be a difficult task. Sharks fullback, Vaughan Going, must have set a Zurich Premiership record for the most dropped balls and knock-on's, as pressure from the boot of Van Gisbergen and Josh Lewsey saw him struggle with the conditions.
Nevertheless as Going was struggling, his team mate, Steve Hanley, found another hole in the London Wasps to score a soft try. Walshe converted and The Men in Black trailed 16-25.
A nine-point gap was needed to get level and it started with a 58th minute penalty by Van Gisbergen who closed the gap to 19-25. The New Zealander has proven an outstanding replacement for King this season and made no mistake with the boot. Ten minutes later he had added another two difficult penalties and London Wasps clawed themselves back 25-all
With less than eight minutes left, the game was there for the taking. An error riddled game saw abundance of missed chances and mistakes, but with time ticking away it was left to Sharks winger Mark Cueto to silence the crowds. A poor clearance from London Wasps saw the resulting line-out produce a rolling maul from the Sharks and Cueto scored. Walshe converted and the game ended 25-32 to the Sharks.
It was the first home loss the new support base at Adams Park witnessed, and the first for over a year. Gatland said, 'We had no excuse; a team that scores four tries against you deserves to win'. He later said, - There was certain aspects of the game that I was happy with, we concentrated on our penalties and only gave away a few silly ones. The penalty count was about 8-10 to us, however we got ourselves back into the game and on the day we weren't good enough. To me one or two certain individuals let themselves down'.
London Wasps next game will be against the Leeds Tykes on 1st December, with not a win in over a month, The Leeds game proves a daunting prospect. The only conciliation will be that a bonus point was scored and the Headingley match will see the return of the London Wasps big guns.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Although the exact cause isn't known, doctors do know that multiple myeloma begins with one abnormal plasma cell in your bone marrow — the soft, blood-producing tissue that fills in the center of most of your bones. This abnormal cell then starts to multiply.
Because abnormal cancerous cells don't mature and then die as normal cells do, they accumulate, eventually overwhelming the production of healthy cells. In healthy bone marrow, less than 5 percent of the cells are plasma cells. But in people with multiple myeloma, more than 10 percent of the cells may be plasma cells.
Because myeloma cells may circulate in low numbers in your blood, they can populate bone marrow in other parts of your body, even far from where they began. That's why the disease is called multiple myeloma. Uncontrolled plasma cell growth can damage bones and surrounding tissue. It can also interfere with your immune system's ability to fight infections by inhibiting your body's production of normal antibodies.
Researchers are studying the DNA of plasma cells to try to understand what changes occur that cause these cells to become cancer cells. Though they haven't yet discovered the cause of these changes, they have found that almost all people with multiple myeloma have genetic abnormalities in their plasma cells that probably contributed to the cancer.
The genetic abnormalities associated with multiple myeloma include:
Multiple myeloma almost always starts out as a relatively benign condition called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). In the United States, about 3 percent of people older than age 50 have MGUS. Each year, about 1 percent of people with MGUS develop multiple myeloma or a related cancer. MGUS, like multiple myeloma, is marked by the presence of M proteins — produced by abnormal plasma cells — in your blood. However, in MGUS, no damage to the body occurs.

Fisette responds: All structural steel studs
should be galvanized. When you build in a coastal
environment, you should specify a grade called
G-90. G-90 steel has a heavier zinc coating to
provide extra protection in hostile
Rust on a steel stud can be compared to rot on a
wood stud. When a wall is properly constructed,
there is little likelihood of a stud rusting to the
point of failure. But it is important to use proper
wall construction that shields the framing from
exterior elements and minimizes the chance of
condensation within the wall cavity.
Normal cutting and drilling of steel studs
removes the zinc coating in the cut area. However,
in most cases the coating adjacent to the cut will
"sacrifice" itself to protect the cut area. If you
are concerned about areas of extensive rust, such
areas can be cleaned with a wire brush, and then
sprayed or brushed with a zinc paint called ZRC
(ZRC Worldwide, 800/831-3275;
www.zrcworldwide.com). The zinc in ZRC is the same
material used to galvanize the studs. ZRC can be
purchased in a good paint or hardware store.

TIP: Head up to Lido (deck 10 on this ship)and hit the Mongolian Wok if you like that type of food. The line is the shortest on embarkation day. Its pretty tasty. Did not care for the pizza on this ship. Did not try the Tandoor place either. Also missed the bbq place near the Red Frog pub because we spent all day in the pools. The MDR service for us with your time dining was great. We usually ate at 6 and the food was always hot.
The Red Frog Pub has the cheapest beer on board and the best, in my opinion. It is a very relaxing place to hang out and although we did not order their food, we heard it was very good. There is a guitarist in there at times.
The ship has a simple layout and although it is very large, we did not really feel crowded. The aft pool would get crowded at times. The one thing they overlooked on the Magic is an adults only pool. There are PLENTY of hot tubs on this ship! Bravo on that, Carnival. It was easy to find an empty one at any time of the day. The chair hog program enforcement is in full effect and our chairs were stickered while we watched. In the aft pool area, if you are just there to swim, put your towels and gear on the bench in the pool area, if it is all waterproof. They only sticker when the decks are getting crowded.
Our room steward was nice enough but never cleaned our room until after 8 pm at night, which was inconvenient for us. Staff were nice enough but seemed more rushed than other ships. I think its just the corner cutting and the staff is a little bit thin in certain areas.
Disembarkation was a BREEZE! Easiest ever. I wish California would take notes from Galveston.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Nas, Questlove, DJ Premier & Others Shed a Tear for Heavy D: What MC's Death Touched You The Most? [Click Here & Speak]
Wednesday, Nov 9, 2011 12:30AM
First off, R.I.P. to Heavy D. The overweight lover was one of those cats who made it a bit easier for the bigger brother's to get out there and be cool. Although he was rarely listed on anyone's Top 5 Dead or Alive list, when you open the rap books, best believe there's a spot in there for this cat.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
Music a really personal thing: You kind of connect with these artists, and even though you don't know them personally, you get a look into their world through their art. This doesn't just go for fans, as several rap figures took to Twitter to share their grief at the loss of the Heavy One.
I cannot believe what I'm hearing about HEAVY D just Died! (DJ Premier's Twitter)
Please someone tell me this Heavy D jawn is a joke. PLEASE.(Questlove's Twitter)
RIP TO A REAL HIP HOP LEGEND HEAVY D! (Nas' Twitter)
These are just a few of the big names of the game spreading love to Heavy D, as Lupe Fiasco, Rev. Run, DJ Drama and a gang of others paid their e-respects to the late rapper.
Heavy was all about having fun, checkin' for the ladies and feeling good. It's crazy because he recently performed at the BET Awards and even tweeted a "Rest in Peace" salute to Joe Frazier on Monday. So the fact that he's gone, seemingly out of nowhere is a shock to the Hip Hop community as a whole.
Our question to you today is this: What MC's death hit home the most for you?
As a tribute to Heavy D, check out one of his biggest hit songs below:

Maine has benefited handsomely over the past three years by a little known economic stimulus program that involves private rather than public money.
The $1.4 billion Maine Power Reliability Program is one of the largest construction projects in the state's history, and it will continue boosting Maine's economy through 2015.
A big part of that work has benefited Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties, and has helped local companies, particularly in the hard-pressed construction industry.
It is the first significant upgrade of our state's electrical backbone since 1971, and is having an impact in 13 of Maine's 16 counties.
The Central Maine Power Company project has mainly generated news coverage for the hearings and court cases involving landowners upset by the project's impact.
But the Central Maine Power project has also had a beneficial impact on the state's entire economy.
A Sun Journal story Dec. 11 highlighted the most visible part of the project locally, construction of a new 16-acre substation on Larrabee Road in Lewiston.
Crews have removed 55,000 cubic yards of earth and replaced it with 95,000 cubic yards of compacted fill to support the weight of a massive transformer and substation.
The million-pound transformer will arrive in March aboard a 30-axle tractor-trailer. Work at the site is expected to continue for two more years.
The big project arrived at just the right time for the state of Maine. By almost every metric, our economy went into the dumper in late 2007 and it hasn't fully recovered.
The downturn hit the construction industry particularly hard. New home construction has nearly ground to a halt while businesses have shelved expansion plans.
For some firms, the CMP work was desperately needed.
More than 20 companies in Androscoggin County worked on the project, ranging from Acadia Contractors in Turner to Williams Scotsman in Auburn, a supplier of modular work spaces. Gammon Landscape and Nursery, Maine OXY, Neokraft and even Rose's Commercial Cleaning in Lewiston have benefited from the project.
Then there are an average of 2,100 direct and indirect jobs that have been sustained during the four-year project, jobs for everyone from laborers to engineers.
CMP estimates the project will pay $242 million in wages and salaries over the four years and will increase Maine's gross domestic product by $289 million.
The company says about 1,380 of those jobs were created in Western Maine, and about $250 million will be spent on work in our region.
The peak of the construction occurred between the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2011, and is now beginning to slow.
While the project does have an environmental impact, CMP has also given 4,765 acres of land to the state and set up a $1.5 million fund for use in conservation efforts.
There is a downside: Maine ratepayers will pick up a small portion of the cost for the project. The far larger part will be paid by the other states in ISO New England.
We will be left, however, with a more reliable transmission system that will serve the state's needs far into the future.
The project is an investment in Maine's future that came at just the right time.
The opinions expressed in this column reflect the views of the ownership and editorial board.

Comfort and speed.
For all the chatter about electronic shifting replacing mechanical, the place where people will love it or hate it is at the shift lever. Shimano rightly lavished plenty of attention when they designed the Dura-Ace Di2 STI Shifters.
In order for the Di2 levers to work at shifting your bike, they must be used in conjunction with the Di2 front derailleur, rear derailleur, battery pack, and wiring kit.
The most obvious advantage to going electronic is the fact that the cable routing doesn't add friction to the system. No cables = no friction. Add to that the system is fast. Really fast. Faster than downtube shifting. 30% faster than shifting on mechanical Shimano Dura-Ace 7900. Better still, the shifting feel is much lighter. You can do it when you're tired. You can do it with "weak" fingers. You don't have to move your wrists or forearm.
Unlike mechanical Dura-Ace, the Di2 shift lever blade doesn't move inward. Instead there are two paddles behind the unidirectional carbon-fiber lever blade. The one closer to the handlebar still does the traditional shifting with the spring (aka onto smaller cogs in the rear, onto bigger in the front), and the one further does the traditional shifting against the spring (aka onto taller cogs in back onto smaller in front). They each have 2mm of travel. Each push results in one shift. Though if you're coasting, you can "pre-shift" any number of gears, and the system will take up the shifting when you start pedaling.
Shimano refined their STI lever when going electric. The levers are slimmer, closer to pre-STI levers, with some more ergonomic refining. Shimano shaved down their profile because they don't need to allow for derailleur cable routing and the internal hardware it takes to precisely shift cable. The shift positions should still closely mimic mechanical Dura-Ace. The lever body, which they refer to as the "perch" has been better shaped for greater long-distance comfort. In addition, the pivot on the lever has been moved for even better modulation.
They did think about weight savings. The levers are 155g lighter. This isn't an insignificant savings. Not only are all the shifting mechanisms rendered unnecessary and left off, but there is a titanium clamp and fixing bolt on each lever to further reduces weight.
The Di2 STI levers come as a set of two levers. No brake cables, brake housing, or wires are included.
A second, or possibly third, set of shifters can be set up on the same system. SW-7971 is the kit that has extra shifting elements that can be placed on aero bars or elsewhere. A Shimano Flight Deck computer (SC-7900) can be attached to the system via the harness. The reach of the levers can be adjusted individually.
- Better ergonomics for longer rides
- Lighter weight than cable operated counterparts
- Shifts 30% faster than cable operated counterparts
- Brake lever pivot is relocated for better modulation
- 10mm of reach adjustment for fitting a wide variety of hands
- Shifters are designed to accept the all new FlightDeck computer
- Extra terminals can be used for additional shift switch locations
- Needs to be used in conjunction with Di2 Battery pack, Wiring kit, R. Der., and F.Der,

The College of Forestry and Conservation at The University of Montana celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.The college of forestry at UM formally opened on September 8, back in 1914 with a group of just 25 students.Jim Burchfield, Dean of College of Forestry and Conservation, said, "At first we were a forestry school, and we were really interested in managing our forests for the sustainable use of timber, which we still do."Burchfield said they were one of the earliest forestry schools in the nation. "We've been a world leader on not only being able to use our forests, but being able to protect them," Burchfield said.Since 1914, the college has expanded to offer five undergraduate and five masters's degrees, three doctoral programs and nearly 1,000 students.Burchfield said Missoula's close proximity to intact natural forest systems allows students gain hands-on experience and real world knowledge. "And we also have this great tradition of public lands here, where it's the people who decide how we should use our lands for our benefit," he said."I have friends that go to like, OSU and U of I for forestry, and they have no experiences, they have no history like our school does," said senior forestry student, Julian Robinson.
Robinson said as a Montana native, UM's forestry program has given him a strong skill set that will allow him to work -- and play -- in his home state after graduation."I've had a variety of work through summers, I've sprayed for pine beetles, I've done timber work, I do fire now, and that's kind of where I see myself going," Robinson said.But, Burchfield said these days, many forestry students are looking for work internationally. "In Africa and Asia and Latin America, with deforestation in the tropics, with forest fragmentation, and they want to do something about it," he said.Burchfield said they've broadened the curriculum to include a programs for wildlife biology, land restoration and parks tourism and recreation.He said, "Our students are just as energetic and hands-on and have a sense of spirit and solidarity that's really quite laudable."Burchfield says 95% of forestry students have a job within their field while attending school, increasing their chances at work after graduation.College of forestry officials say the Forestry Club at UM is one of the most active student groups on campus, which has hosted the popular Forester's Ball for 96 years.Click here for a complete list of College of Forestry and Conservation centennial events.

Songs include "Little Tin Box," "Till Tomorrow" and "When Did I Fall In Love?"
Fiorello! had a brief, 16-performance revival at City Center in 1962. The Encores! production opened in February 1994. It was directed by Walter Bobbie and starred Jerry Zaks, Philip Bosco and Faith Prince.
City Center is located on 55th Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues.

A bright idea: Can mindfulness training curb winter blues'?By Kevin OConnor
STAFF WRITER | December 30,2012Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Dr. Arnie Kozak, a Burlington-based psychologist, is teaching the public about winter blues through classes at his Exquisite Mind Studio.Many of the estimated 10 percent of Vermonters who suffer from seasonal depression try to beat the winter blues with sunshine or full-spectrum light bulbs.
They havent met Dr. Arnie Kozak. He wants to turn them on to an even brighter idea.
The Burlington-based psychologist has served as one of three lead therapists on a groundbreaking University of Vermont study investigating the effectiveness of trading negative thoughts for a more positive mindset to improve a persons mental and physical well-being.
Experts commonly treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) by exposing patients to more light. But Kozak working under UVM associate professor Kelly Rohan, one of the nations foremost researchers of SAD has offered cognitive behavioral therapy to discover whether changing ones attitudes and actions can ease winter sluggishness, sadness and craving for comfort foods.
Rohans unprecedented research, funded by a $2 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, is finding that lightening ones attitude is just as effective as special bulbs and ultimately more helpful for preventing future bouts. Thats why, after helping with the study the past three winters, Kozak is sharing its mindfulness concepts in public classes.
Cognitive behavioral therapy skills are portable, Kozak says. You can carry them for the rest of your life and you dont need to sit in front of an expensive light box every day.
Kozak has focused on the mind since 1985, when he took vows from the Dalai Lama in Bodhgaya, India. Practicing meditation and yoga, hes now a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at UVMs College of Medicine and a lecturer at its College of Nursing and Health Sciences. Such teaching allowed him to meet Rohan, a clinical psychologist who has built a career studying ways to melt the winter blues.
SAD is a depression believed linked to a lack of sunlight and its effect on the part of the brain that controls ones sleep, mood and motivation. As days grow darker in the fall and winter, people can feel sad, worthless or unfocused, lose energy and enthusiasm and face shifts in their sleeping or eating patterns, often craving carbohydrates.
After three previous studies found promise with cognitive behavioral therapy, Rohan began UVMs now concluding five-year study. Volunteers have traveled to Burlington for six weeks of free treatment. Some have sat 18 inches in front of full-spectrum bulbs (screened of ultraviolet rays) each morning for at least 30 minutes. Others have talked regularly with therapists.
As part of the UVM study, Kozak gathered groups twice a week for a dozen 1½-hour sessions based on Rohans Coping with the Seasons treatment guidelines.
What we think and do can make a difference in how we feel, Kozak says. The aim is to make us more aware of our thoughts and behaviors and then to try to shift them.
Wake on a cold, dark day and you may just want to hibernate.
People tend to do less or cycle or shut down, Kozak says. We engage in a process of monitoring, identifying and challenging those thoughts and behaviors. Attention and awareness can give you options.
This isnt ducking or denying.
Were not trying to paper over anything or act like Pollyanna. Its training to be more skillful with thoughts and actions. While we cant change winter, we can change our relationship to it.
So instead of surrendering under the covers, one can choose to get up, get out and embrace healthier alternatives such as regular exercise and a diet high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
Rohan has yet to finalize the studys findings. But researchers can confirm that people treated with cognitive behavioral therapy coped better over time than those simply given more light.
Dr. Norman Rosenthal, the man who coined the term SAD and literally wrote the book on it (Winter Blues: Everything You Need to Know to Beat Seasonal Affective Disorder) notes Rohans efforts in his paperbacks latest revision: Preliminary results are so encouraging that they are definitely worth a good look, especially since they lead to specific steps that people with SAD can take to alleviate their suffering.
Thats good news for the 10 percent of Vermonters who experience full seasonal depression and another 20 percent who face lesser symptoms. And thats why Kozak now finishing a third book of his own, Mindfulness A to Z: 108 Insights for Awakening Now, for national publication next year is about to start teaching public courses on winter blues as detailed on his website, exquisitemind.com.
People want a quick fix they want a pill, they want a light box, Kozak says. We try to revise our thoughts. Thats a skill you can take home and use in relationships, work, all aspects of your life.

Effingham Daily News
---- — One of the three men accused of participating in the racially motivated beating of a man outside an Altamont bar a year ago pleaded guilty Thursday to a lesser charge — after a prosecutor admitted in open court he didn't have enough evidence to get a conviction on the original charges.
Kevin L. Gasper, 41, of Effingham, pleaded guilty to one count of disorderly conduct in connection with the beating of Trenton Smith in and outside Tip's Corner Tavern in Altamont last March 4. Gasper had been charged with aggravated battery, hate crime and mob action in connection with the Smith beating, but Special Prosecutor David Rands told Judge Ericka Sanders Thursday he didn't have the evidence to convict Gasper on those charges.
"There is no evidence that Mr. Gasper ever made contact with Mr. Smith," Rands said.
Sanders sentenced Gasper to 30 days in county jail, but gave him credit for time served after he was originally arrested. While Gasper was fined $385, Sanders waived payment of the fine for time served and said she believes the bond he posted after serving 77 days in county jail would cover any court costs — and probably give him some money left over.
William Coleman, considered to be the instigator of the fight, is already serving a five-year prison term for his role in the beating. A third defendant, Justin Antrim, 38, of Teutopolis, had a new court date set for 10 a.m. April 23.
Antrim attorney Scott Ealy said he was close to a deal with prosecutors. But Ealy said he's taking a job with the state's attorney's office on April 1 and withdrew from the case.
Antrim's original attorney, Bryan Kibler, had to withdraw after he was elected state's attorney's last fall.

A 50-year-old Warrensburg woman is accused of stealing $385,000 from a home for the disabled over the past five years.
A federal grand jury has handed down a 22-count indictment against Terri Arlene Marr, who was the director of the Progressive Alternative Living Inc. (AP) in Higginsville.
Marr was PAL's director from 1998 to 2013. The U.S. Attorney's Office says the embezzlement of Medicaid money started in 2008 and continued through this year.
Marr is accused of using PAL funds to repay her personal credit cards for personal expenses, including a Cabela's personal credit card. She is also accused of paying $175,400 in payroll checks from 2001 to 2013 even though the person never performed any work for PAL. That person is an unnamed and unindicted co-conspirator.
PAL paid $10,600 in payroll-related taxes.
The federal government is asking a judge to order Marr to repay the $385,218.58.
No one at the small facility with a handful of disabled residents would comment. Marr didn't respond to a knock at her door or telephone calls.

Team USA is playing its final tune-up before the Olympics begin in London next week against a team many consider a major roadblock to a second consecutive gold medal for the Americans: Argentina. Featuring NBA players like Manu Ginobili, Luis Scola and Carlos Delfino, the Argentinians got in the Americans' faces during the first half of play and, after being down big, clawed back to trail just 47-40 at halftime.
Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant are tied as leading scorers with 14 points and Russell Westbrook, getting ready to play in his first Olympics, has eight. Sekou Smith is running a live blog on NBA.com, and here's what he said about the first half from Team USA:
That 7-for-13 start from beyond the 3-point line was fool's gold for the U.S. They fell in love with the deep ball and went 0-for-7 in the second quarter as they were outscored 24-16 and lost that 20-point lead.
We'll see if they can relocate their stroke in the second half in Barcelona.

York City's Lanre Oyebanjo hits right note for versatility
11:51am Thursday 22nd November 2012 in News By Dave Flett, Sports reporter
LANRE Oyebanjo is hoping his versatility will keep him in York City's first XI.
The former West Ham schoolboy has played both as a right-back and an attacking midfielder at separate stages of the last two Minstermen matches.
Oyebanjo, 22, reckons such flexibility can prove advantageous in a squad where nobody is guaranteed a starting shirt.
Last season's 20-goal top scorer Matty Blair spent a long spell on the bench at the start of the current campaign, while £60,000 striker Jason Walker was dropped at the weekend after previously being an ever-present during 2012/13.
Specialist midfielders such as Paddy McLaughlin, Jonathan Smith, Lee Bullock and Michael Potts have also all fallen behind supposedly out-of-position players like Dan Parslow, Oyebanjo and Blair in the pecking order this season.
Ex-Republic of Ireland under-21 international Oyebanjo, who has started City's last three matches, has underlined the importance of playing to your full potential in every match, whether in your most-recognised position or not.
He said: "I feel I am best at right-back. That's where I feel natural but I am more than happy, if the gaffer wants to put me in midfield, to do a job for the team to the best of my ability.
"It's all about working hard to get my name on that team-sheet whatever the position and being able to occupy two positions gives the gaffer options and gives me more of a chance of being in the team. We have a very competitive squad and, if you are not on your game, the gaffer will change things around.
"You've got to put in 100 per cent and fight for your place whatever position you play in because there are a lot of players who can play in numerous positions like Dan Parslow and Jon Challinor."
Oyebanjo is also no newcomer to midfield, having started out there in men's football.
"At 16, I was playing for Waltham Forest as part of a midfield three in the Ryman League division one north and enjoyed it even though I've always favoured playing at right-back," he recalled.
"Playing in midfield is a challenge but I enjoy trying to get to knock-downs and perhaps popping off a shot. I will take a strike if things open up and I have the pace to push on."
Oyebanjo agrees with manager Gary Mills' belief that he has a spectacular goal in his locker too and could look to participate in more Wigginton Road shooting drills in coming weeks.
"I think it's coming," said Oyebanjo, on the possibility of a net-bulging strike.
"Against Wimbledon, I missed a header but then the goalkeeper pulled off a great save from my shot and I know that, if I can strike the ball right and get in on target, I can work the 'keeper.
"Maybe I will work on that a bit because more and more opportunities are arising for me to hit the target and put one in. Even though I'm with the defenders for the majority of the time in training, I went with the strikers last Friday and I might do that more often now."

Geno Smith's rushing touchdown against the Patriots was just his second of the season, so forgive him for not being a little rusty spike-wise:
Although...what if this is a real weakness of Smith's? What if he does that every time he tries to spike? What if late-game attempts to stop the clock end up traveling several yards forward?
