Mcfadz to man to man him I think

TBF I'm sure Fadz would rather play against a centre forward like Ikpeazu than a whippet striker.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

No sign of Bright or DaCosta, neither Kelly.

Sheaf dropped to the bench.

Jamie Allen in CM or Jamie Allen at AM?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Bit odd. Don’t see Allen as a holding CM, especially against Middlesbrough. He’s played his best football for us further up the field.

Sheaf picked up a slight knock?

 

[fatso]

Allen in for Sheaf ?????

Dodnt see that one coming, could be a disaster, could be a masterstroke!
I thought Sheaf would be more useful against a typical Warnock side.
Also, its time for Waghorn to break his duck, with Godden and Walker available he has to start to produce.

Think we are looking for Allen's energy from the start

 

[Skybluefaz]

They have some giants. Signed Crooks too. Hope we don't pay for having Sheaf's physicality on the bench.

Perhaps as we expect them to bypass the midfield, so a box to bod type works better?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Bit surprised Sheaf not in as offers height,/physicality versus e.g.Jamie Allen. In MR we trust, and all that!

He had some really good games for us as a CM / CDM I think

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Our midfield of Hamer, Allen and O'Hare are only the same height combined as Matt Crooks. Perhaps we are going for the Iniesta ,Xavi, Messi approach

 

[fatso]

Writing must be on the wall for Shipley now surely, even with Kelly, Eccles and Bright not available, he still cant make the match day squad, and with a couple of the u23 not too far away, it's looking ominous for the lad.

Allen is going to sit on O'Hares shoulders when we're defending set pieces.

Energy ? Warnock’s teams are horrible he’s gonna get eaten alive this is the one game you would pick sheaf

Allen hat trick today now I’ve said that put your house on it

The notion Warnock and his football is from another era is not really valid. He’s a manager that continually has adapted methods to suit

I have a flat. Just withdrew my pension savings though.

 

[TomRad85]

Not sure about Sheaf dropping out at all tbh. Strong looking bench though, we're finally starting to look like a proper Championship squad.

You only have to look to how he managed to get the best out of Taarabt

What,the whole fuckin tenner ???

Still remember him walking on to the pitch when the ball was in-play to instruct his defenders playing us at the Ricoh. Think it was against Palace.

35 quid actually.

Same. Unsure on Sheaf, hope Allen proves me wrong.

Everyone hates a show off!

CovCraigburys alter ego for when Tyler Walker scores.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

They look to have a number of big units. If we have the ball a lot, no problem. Give them a lot of set pieces and I'm less confident. Take a draw now (especially having seen our lot run out, size wise)

 

[Liquid Gold]

Sheaf dropping out is a bit of a shock. Maybe MR want Allen's energy in pressuring Boro over Sheaf's protection and passing range. Think this may show we're going to press a lot and get the ball forward quickly.


Fair play to Jamie Allen though, done exactly what you want from a fringe player that are told they can move on by putting extra effort in and forcing their way into the squad.

 

[Philosoraptor]

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

In the warm ups Ikpeazu looks so not agile (I'll own it when he scores an overhead kick)

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Don’t really get starting both Gyo and Waghorn if we don’t have to.

 

[Tommo1993]

 

[higgs]

Strong bench today

What do you mean if we don’t have to? I’m not being confrontational, just don’t understand! Was going to put on the emojis thread that I need a confused one!
