We exercised the years extension to his contract so we have him next season
My opinion has never changed:-
This post is insane. Unless coronavirus has caused football to implode or we are set to struggle severely next season, the only part to this that could possibly be true is Allen being near the 11.
While I don't necessarily disagree, we did all think Shipley would struggle to step up to League One, so I wouldn't write him off just yet.
Great stuff, a Brazilian and a Dutchman all rolled into one footballer, Childhood me would have loved this
Side note: what is up with that Scarf? where is the CITY bit... tin hat on its the first step in the RB COVENTRY transition
John Fleck in the Premier League?
Not me, I thought Conor Thomas would end up with the better career!!
Belgian
Possibly, to be honest I didn't think he was as good as some on here seemed to suggest, on the flip side I am also not suggesting he's terrible. Get tired writing stuff like that but feels like it needs to be said before someone jumps in & puts words in your mouth. His first touch is his biggest weakness and the higher up the leagues you go, the more that will be exposed. I am not writing him off at all, nor saying we should definitely get rid, but personally at this point I would be worried if he is consistently in our starting XI next season.
I see him as possibly filling a Doyle role in terms of personality around squad, as much as anything. Doyle put effort in and sure, was limited, but made the best of what he had, and despite the criticism, our midfield was worse once he left (first time around). Shipley actually seems to try, and if he can be lifted a little by those around him, I think there's a place for him in driving us on. Again, like you, I'll add the many caveats to that statement
His first touch for that Godden goal wasn't too shabby...
Haha did expect this to come up. It was phenomenal. But in general, his first touch is poor.
Didn't know he scored 4. Going off his interview he said dont expect goals
