Let's see if he can show us why, I would have put Ponticelli on.

I know we're short of goals, but playing 4 strikers would be a bit excessive. Shipley is the right sub IMO.

Just get an attacking threat down the other side and jones gets injured grrrrrr

Is the undercurrent to that post that he's been written off by the fans already

not at all, it was due to the least experienced player on the bench being called upon, meaning MR must have faith in him

 

[Johnnythespider]

Why? He’s a poacher? Jones is a creative player, Shipley at least is meant to be creative as a CM?

I'll let the gamekeeper know, because I'd rather have a poacher on than Shipley.

 

[CV22SBA]

on top, a few decent crosses by Haynes already.

Think the BBC must be watching a different game then. Shows they’ve had 56% possession and 5 shots to our 1

On left midfield?

Come on lads, score a few for JohnnieRicoh!!!!

Gutted i havent renewed my season ticket at £640 plus £4.40 for shit warm beer. The legends lounge bust be empty this year.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Great play by duck no one there to tap in

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Ball into the box and Kelly standing on the half way line with four others

 

[ccfcway]

great play by nazon, gets to the line, cuts it back to 6 yard box and no one there

 

[stupot07]

This is a snorefest.

Hhhmmmm. MR ought to be able to prevent that from happening.

 

[shmmeee]

See the problem is we don’t create chances so no pointicelli in playing any striker.

 

[shmmeee]

We playing three in the middle now Shipley is on or is he on a wing?

 

[Nick]

Yet again we need changes

We had 3-4 decent balls in the box tbf. Shame the only 2 strikers who attack crosses are on the bench.

Typical city game. Boring and no goals. Colchester look awful as well.

 

[Nick]

Duck has been awful

 

[Esoterica]

This season has gone tits up since Robins stopped wearing a suit and let his beard grow a bit.

 

[PVA]

Ifollow keeps cutting my stream saying the account is in use on another device (it's not). Anyone else had this before?

 

[Rodders1]

Why are we playing two central defensive midfielders - sideways backwards sideways backwards etc etc etc .

 

[Nick]

We are now playing a game ideal for biamou, crosses in and direct with beavon and duck

 

[Nick]

For the draw

 

[shmmeee]

Left wing.

Thought for a second we might have changed it up to 433, should’ve known better.

 

[Nick]

Nothing is going to change while we play this system, massive gap between dm and strikers.

Said before the game we need biamou or vincente, not won a header at all

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Why bring shipley on for jones? That substitute is bizarre. Are we defending the 0-0

Why not play every cm we have and get them all to play just in front of the back 4!!!

 

[skyblueinBaku]

So our opponents don't score too many. MR knows that we'll never score many, if any at all.

 

[Otis]

I know we're short of goals, but playing 4 strikers would be a bit excessive. Shipley is the right sub IMO.

But what we have done here now is to take an attacking midfielder off and replace him with a more defensive minded midfielder.

Vincenti might have been a better option, especially against the giants they have in their defence.

 

[PVA]

Such a shame that Tony Andreu got injured, we are crying out for someone like him, a proper number 10.

Andreu, Jones, Nazon plus A.N.Other would be a very potent attacking lineup.

 

[ccfcway]

solid, not looking like conceding, and should be ahead. some decent crosses, but no one on the end of them,

 

[better days]

Colchester were targeting Jones. Leaving studs on him after he'd passed the ball. That's what he was moaning to the ref about

 

[blueflint]

bbc facts say we have had one shot they have had seven says it all

 

[oucho]

Biamou for Duck at half time?
