Can we do a sweepstake on the time of the first slagging off of Shipley? I'm going 2 minutes.

Somebody kind of has.

Shipley for o’hare

To be fair he's probably more likely to score than O'hare at the moment

FFS, SHIPLEY STARTING WTF. He better not do well or score a goal.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

You were saying?

Well...I didn't expect that all...and plus point is we have them on the bench. Well needed rest now with players back from injury. Don't mind a bit of rotation.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Didn't think both Hamer and O'hare would drop to the bench at the same time. Even more surprised that Shipley is the player brought in for O'Hare. I guess he must impress in training. Hopefully he can have a good game and use that link up play and shooting he can be capable of. I imagine both Hamer and O'Hare will be coming on for Kelly and Shipley around 60-65mins. Still think Hyam needs a rest and Rose might've come in for him.

Let's see how it goes.

 

[Evo1883]

Hoping to see the best from James today, playing next to Kelly from the off.

Fair point lol

One of the idiots has already

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Can't see any creativity in that line up without Hamer and Ohare.

But it looks a solid strong team still a bit defensive.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Looks very defensive.

No more so than it usually is. Shipley will play advanced like O'Hare does and James deeper like Hamer

 

[no_loyalty]

Perhaps looking to keep it tight until 70mins then throw in O’Hare and Hamer

Looks like that’s the plan, just hope we do not concede an early goal.

hopefully case of keeping it tight first hour then bring super sub o'hare on

 

[fernandopartridge]

In fairness to Shipley he is quite progressive and is a goal threat, if he can get into shooting range he does have a good strike on him

No fairness to Shipley please.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Right call on Hamer. Been very poor by his standards for quite a few games now. O’Hare we will miss his press up top but Shipley playing in his favoured position. He has to take his chance. O’Hare off the bench is always a decent one as opposition legs tire.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

can't believe he's not starting O'Hare. The lad must be knackered, that's all I can think of.

tbf he has been working very hard, and last season his best work came as impact sub. He's certainly a decent option off the bench.

Shipley to score with a rocket.

 

[robbiethemole]

Apart from Arma who else is a speed merchant? Gallagher is out with a bruised lung and I don’t know any of their other players

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Shipley to score with a rocket.

Unfortunately only those scored with the ball count.

 

[SBT]

So it’s settled - Shipley is a better player than O’Hare, and that’s all there is to it.

 

[speedie87]

looking at the pitch its in a right state so not a game for passing it around

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Should have left Hamer or O’Hare out at Swansea where we had less chance

Fans would say Robins threw the towel in before kick off then

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Shipley to score (with a rocket up his arse).

Edited for you

I could beat that but resisting

If he runs his bollocks off nobody would have an issue with him, he does have an excellent shot on him as you have stated.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Maybe but they will have been rested for today.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I would hope that Robins has warned Shipley if he doesn’t produce he will be moving on as he has done little to show he is of the standard required this season

 

[procdoc]

O’Hare is probably shattered, but we will miss his quality

 

[stevefloyd]

Up his arse?

 

[cc84cov]

Quality ? He lacks it most weeks

Not sure which management courses MR has been on, but hope it is one that covers a different approach to the above suggestion.
