So having a hand in 3 of the goals is playing poor? 3 more significant things than shipley did.

Shipley or Westbrooke?

Firstly isn't it one goal one assist?
Secondly I have already answered this. The assist he does have is from a set piece. That is invaluable. But I know 15 year olds who have demon set pieces. Doesn't mean that they are fantastic footballers and in terms of influencing the whole game, Westbrooke was anonymous on Tuesday. Stop getting all defensive, some people really don't like alternative opinions do they!
Seems you have the defensive attitude to different opinions. I pointed out he has a goal and 2 assists. Ive been to all 3 games and he has been better than shipley in all 3. Simply pointing out what ive seen. How anyone with a hand in 3 goals can be called anonymous baffles me. Cant wait to hear what else you feel would warrant a decent mark off you.
For clarification.. He passed to hiwula for goal one.. Crossed for godden for goal 2..and crossed to rose to lead to goal 4. Clearly invisible...

Dabo set up the first.
I thought Westbrook and Shipley both did well on Tuesday but if Allen is fit then neither of them could be surprised to be on the bench. You’d have to think Westbrook is most like Allen though

Not at all I respect your opinion and agree in parts, just think you are very quick to respond defensively rather than actually read what is said and take it in...
Dabo set up goal one?
As I have said I agree he was better in the first two games but he was worse than Shipley on Tuesday night imo.
I will clarify again, I don't doubt his set pieces (goal 2 +4) however I am talking about contribution to open play, which typically is where most goals come from, where I feel he was largely anonymous on Tuesday night. I also feel that Shipley's contributions go largely unnoticed and he is one that flatters to deceive. Either way I expect both to start on Saturday. With whoever plays worse to be dropped the following game should Allen be fit

Westbrook’s assist was for Hiwula’s second goal. His shot was deflected into Hiwula’s path.

Not quite an assist then lol. I like Westbrook a lot much more a centre mid than Shipley

It would count as an assist though.
I tend to walk to the BullRing then turn at Selfridges and carry straight on along the main road, past the Custard Factory. Then it's a left turn ironically into Coventry Rd just after the Tesla garage (B'ham City is signposted), then over the roundabout and the ground is up the road on the left.

He's miles away then, at least two weeks if not longer. We need some reinforcement in midfield, I just don't fancy us breaking teams down with Westbrooke and Shipley.

I reckon we’ll see a loan soon. Hopefully next week

It does read like that but then Robins has surprised before with inclusions that he's hinted are not ready yet. I don't think you can read between the lines on the things he comes out with in his pre match conferences. He does sound pretty pleased with the start of the season though which suggests he's ok with the midfield (Yes, I've just read between the lines I said you can't read between!!). Will just be Marosi, Mason and McFadzean back into Tuesday's team I reckon.

Marosi
Dabo Mcfadz Rose Mason
Westbrooke Kelly Shipley
Jobello Godden Hiwula
Subs: Wilson, Mccallum, Allen, Kasteneer, Baka, Eccles, Hyam
Robins doesnt fancy Max at the moment for one reason or another, so cant see him making bench
if allen is back he makes sub appearance
Kasteneer to get little longer tomorrow than he did v Exeter and brought in to starting lineup soon as he has ability to be a massive player for us if he settles in.
the conversatron earlier in thread about who deserves to be dropped out of westbrooke and shipley, it is shipley hands down, poor at swindon, poor v southend, poor v bolton and poor v exeter, his fitness is a concern too, westbrooke would be dropped too for me if we had someone to replace him but we dont yet,

A big stonking league win would do nicely about now. Still feel well be slow to start until Godden, Allen and Kastaneer are all at full fitness though.
Gonna go another nervy 1-0. Think that might be the most common scoreline this season.
Same team as last league game with Godden in for Baka.

Looks like a good day weather wise and a pitch suited to a passing game. Advantage us. Godden looks hungry to prove his signing. He will start.
It is a shame Allen is not yet ready. But I think we have enough in us to win this one against a Bristol side who say they are coming to win the game but my sixth sense says they will line up not to be beaten, isolating Clarke-Harris up front as there main threat. Can we break then down? I think so, we have the better players and 90 minutes should prove too much for Rovers.
My only concern is we are slightly unbalanced still,and a Herbie Kane would be the icing on the cake. With Allen missing too much is on the shoulders of Shipley and Westbrooke for my liking.

In an interview on CWR tonight , Robins has said Max Biamou will NEVER play on the left wing again,
Hallelujah, the penny has finally dropped.
