I have to say that I try and avoid getting into personal arguments on here, however I find your posts really annoying.
You pop up all of the time on a variety of threads, inevitably moaning about the manager or about certain players. You speak as though you are some sort of tactical genius. (What are your footballing qualifications by the way?)
You obviously know better than Robins, think he is a fool for his selections, an idiot for his tactics and an imbecile for his substitutions. So who should be our new manager, who will be the man to see the obvious in the way that you do? (Perhaps yourself? With your vast and encyclopaedic knowledge of players and tactics, how could we fail?).
For what it is worth, I think Shipley and Allen have been generally poor this season. However, rather than writing them off, I would hope that they can both play themselves in to this level. The only way that can happen is by having game time and by having time in and out of the team, something Robins is giving them. He has little alternative as this is the squad that he has. Both players did well last year and I think deserved a shot at the Championship.
You are now questioning O'Hare's ability and his bravery. This is player that came back and played on after getting a terrible head injury in a game last season and consistently continued to put his head in where it hurt, in that game and every other game he played in afterwards. You can question his ability but not his courage surely?
You seem to post things for effect, rather than thinking them out ('Shipley is a disgrace to the shirt' for example. No he's not. He's a player out of form, lacking in confidence but he has done nothing to disgrace himself or the club).
I think a little less quantity and a lot more quality is what you should be aiming for. Think before you type. Say things you genuinely believe rather than playing to the audience on here. ('100%s', 'end ofs' and a variety of emojis don't add gravitas to the things you say).
Finally, maybe show a bit more kindness. You consistently describe certain players as 'shit'. Firstly, totally inaccurate as they have gone through an incredibly rigorous selection process to make it as a professional, secondly just on a human level think how it must make you feel to read that someone thinks you are 'shit' (One of your own supporters at that, who when Saturday comes will expect you to bust a gut for his team. Furthermore, a 'supporter' who hasn't a fraction of your footballing ability or knowledge).
Good post, in fairness to all of O'Hare, Shipley, Allen and anybody else that advanced midfield role they're being asked to play is a very difficult one at any level, even more so in a newly promoted team. I think O'Hare has been one of our better performers so far this season, the other two less so but they don't deserve the ott criticism like you say.
