Shipley looked way better at LWB last season (his performances against Peterborough & QPR spring to mind). He was simply lost in midfield. Would of been happy for Robins to have kept him as back up / alternative to Bidwell.But people are complaining that we're carrying a lot of deadwood, Shipley would just be another example of that.
It was the right time for him to move on I think.
We blew a lot of our L2 budget on Andreu who basically played one game, and was a similar player to Lameiras. Max Biamou saved our season by being the perfect foil for our marquee signing McNulty.I also really liked him, not keeping him on was an error.

Issue is, we all thought getting rid of Shipley, Jones and co would result in 3 better players coming in. We had 1.
Pask, Jones and Drysdale needed letting go but Shipley would have been handy with the current squad problems.Absolutely no one thought that. The combined salaries of Jones, Shipley, Pask and Drysdale would probably only just about cover the wages of Bidwell for example.
As I predicted the club was always going to be bottlenecked by having the likes of Kelly, Walker, Kane, Dacosta, Hilssner, Waghorn etc. on the books - ultimately causing serious issues in regards to Robins' ability to recruit this season.
Chris Maguire suspended for 6 weeks on betting breaches.

Same was said of Rubin Lameiras. He’s now in the Portuguese top flight playing for one of the better teams.
I would argue that Westbrook flattered to deceive and went missing in plenty of games.
Technique there but physicality not-and that’s what you need in English Football.
Same for Rubin.

It’s a shame because if they paid him up and he was a cheap free signing you’d almost want to get him back in here (would of course need to see if he has regained his mobility in the first instance)Jodi Jones is apparently surplus to requirements at Oxford as their manager Karl Robinson said in the post-match interview that they expect him to move on in the next few days. He's in their bomb squad currently training with the u18's, most Oxford fans can't understand why he isn't given a chance seemingly not even being named on the bench this year so suggestions of a falling out between player and manager.
Abroad unlikely with a young family I'd sayIt’s a shame because if they paid him up and he was a cheap free signing you’d almost want to get him back in here (would of course need to see if he has regained his mobility in the first instance)
Problem though is that he doesn’t suit our formation. We don’t play with wingers and our AM’s need to track back and win possession. Allen, for all his faults, does get back and position well to stop potential passing channels. Palmer, not so much but getting there. Cal would run everywhere and chase so added that bit extra in that regard. (On the subject of Shipley it was an area where he lacked - the consistent press and chase. Waghorn just pointed at ghosts). JJ wasn’t that kind of player but, like Tavares, could possibly come on late and play alongside Vik.
Anyway. Shame for the lad. Hope he finds a club that plays to his style and he has some sort of decent career.
Laugh if you want but I can see him at Silena or Valletta or wherever Mifsud used to play in Malta. A season there might do him good.
Malta maybe as they have English schools and his Dad is from (grandparents still living there etc.?) there.Abroad unlikely with a young family I'd say
Needs a L2 club where he can play every game IMO

Why did he sign him in the first place, then?Robinson hates him
No one can understand why
Jones has been looking at options but Robinson pulled a loan to a L2 promotion contender at the last moment in September
Welcome back bd.Robinson hates him

Forest Green boss sacked. Not sure if Doyle has gone too, if not he's in charge
Loan move for Jones. Ideal. Just needs to play.Jodi Jones gone to Notts County...a big drop.
Duncan Ferguson going in at FGR, him and Doyle as a managerial duo?
Not that big a drop really? It's effectively one division to an arguably bigger clubJodi Jones gone to Notts County...a big drop.
