Shipley is awful

This is pretty boring.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I like this setup as much as broccoli

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

How hard is it to play a 3 yard pass?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I think we’d be better going a bit more direct, the high pressing in this league is meaning we’re constantly losing the ball in dangerous areas.

 

[Esoterica]

The errors we are showing are the same but we’re against a worse team and we have one less up front and at the back. This was done a few games too early.

The big problem for me is how deep McFadzean always wants to play. He drags the whole team back. We'd have a lot more going forwards if we were playing 10 yards higher and Shipley-OHare-Hamer were closer to Walker.

 

[Corrado]

Sheaf is dreadful, just dreadful

 

[Nick]

Fuck me Shipley has been dreadful so far

He didnt even look up then just chipped it forward.

Then he puts that simple throw in pass out.

 

[Hobo]

Pick anyone of them but we need another man up front we’re toothless with 1 up front...again

We are not bossing the midfield so an extra man up front wouldnt make a lot of difference unless we resort to hoof ball and that woulsnt cut at this level.

I'd take Shipley off, bring either Biamou or Baka on and go to the diamond. We're so narrow anyway, and walker isn't making the ball stick.

We’re still so rusty. It’s looks like the first game of the season all season. We’re a quarter of the way through. We need to look like we’re fit enough, up for it and the players know each other’s game.

 

[CanuckSkyBlue]

This isn’t an easy watch

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

It was Hyam on smack actually.

Get it right please.

Sorry, must be the weed. Struggling to concen....oh, look at the pretty colours.

Shipley has been woeful

 

[CanuckSkyBlue]

are you on speed?!

No but maybe he is

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If they win they are 2 points off the play offs aren’t they?

We entered HT 1-0 up against a previously rampant Reading. This is just turgid and has 0-0 all over it as is

I would say he has been too anonymous to be woeful.

Good

 

[Evo1883]

I mean granted its more solid, but hard to judge as blues offer little... But MY god I'm falling asleep here

Birmingham aren't pressing high. Our back line have loads of time.

Against a better team we'd be a couple down here.

 

[Nick]

Im not fussed about boring if we scrape a 1-0 to be fair.

 

[cc84cov]

Why are we working it wide ? To cross to 1 man ?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Good

We look even shakier than usual at the back.

 

[Offhegoes]

Shipley is a No 10. Nothing else. Not enough pace or stamina to play wide and doesn’t have the passing range or strength to play centre mid

 

[Nick]

The fuck was that pass?

 

[Hutch11]

How many times has it been said we have to stop conceding , guess what , we haven't conceded

Now it's zzzz , boorfest,

Fuck me Shipley has been dreadful so far

Who's been good?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

A half decent team and we would already be out of this game. How can we look worse as a team than last season. Confidence plays such a huge part in football.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

It’s seriously embarrassing how often we give the ball away under no pressure compared to every other team we’ve faced so far this season.

He is playing number 10 but is awful so far.

Sky commissioners must be saying "i thought you said these were entertaining?"

like every other game then

 

[Londonccfcfan]

This is set up has killed us going forward. Walker looks sharp but service is non existent.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Birmingham aren't pressing high. Our back line have loads of time.

Wrong tactic described for them. We pass so much side to side in our own half, giving them time to creep up on us.

when we lose the ball we lose it in dangerous positions. It’s been happening all season

It's the same even in the old system with Godden to be fair.
