This is incorrect. Just watched the replay back, Hyam was marking the lad and got sucked towards the ball for some reason. If you insist on singling players out at least get it right.Probably because Shipley lost his man for the 2nd goal...schoolboy.
Total bollocks!Because he cost us the game?
Im surprised Shipley is ahead of Eccles there. Can’t help but feel if that’s the case at this point we should move Eccles on and bring in a proper 4th DM.
Disagree. Central defenders are always likely to get dragged further into the centre of the goal. Whether their lad was Shipleys to mark is debatable, what isn’t debatable is that Shipley was static.This is incorrect.

I find this thread really strange given that we’ve just gone away to a side that fancy themselves for promotion and played them off the park for long spells. Give the lads a break would ya.

Robins will also single him out, the difference is that he will do it behind closed doors.
The championship is brutal and if we are going to stay up, we have to do better in situations like this, if it was O’Hare, Allen, Godden I would say exactly the same.
Our first game at this level in 8 years. Ships is 22 and his first game ever at Championship level, came on as sub for an injury, yeah he looks a likely candidate for a pile on, let's blame him for everything.
Not really, the reality is that Bristol played competitively 6 weeks ago compared to our 6 months.He looked ok today TBF, but he needs to start putting his foot in a bit, and like the whole team he was fucked after 70 minutes, that's down to MR and AV not having the squad ready in time, and that's cost us a point today.
That’s a fair point, but the hastily arranged friendly against Solihull speaks volumes, it as if MR realised we weren’t ready for the kick off, I can’t help feeling we are 2 weeks behind where we should be, and we were found out.Not really, the reality is that Bristol played competitively 6 weeks ago compared to our 6 months.
Yeah I think he thought the players would be in better shape coming back off furlough, they'll soon get there though.That’s a fair point, but the hastily arranged friendly against Solihull speaks volumes, it as if MR realised we weren’t ready for the kick off, I can’t help feeling we are 2 weeks behind where we should be, and we were found out.
But fitness aside, there’s much to be positive about.
He didn't lose his man, we're doing zonal marking at corners. The ifollow I was watching was part of Bristol city's coverage, they had a player doing punditry and was saying we zonal mark and as a player he much prefers man marking.Probably because Shipley lost his man for the 2nd goal...schoolboy.
As stated, it wouldn’t matter who the player was that made the mistake, I’d still single him outYep agree that it was very sloppy and we’ll continue to get punished at this level if we don’t tighten up.
Just don’t understand why you’re pinning all on Shipley when it was clearly Hyam’s man that scored. Maybe Shippers was flat footed and didn’t react, but you’re saying it was all his fault, which it wasn’t.

If I’m being honest I’ve never been convinced by Shipley. He doesn’t influence the match enough for a central midfielder.You just singled out the wrong man that's all

Why no players on the post? A defender on the post and no zonal marking and that doesn’t go in. But everyone will forget the 3/4 chances we had to wrap the game up before then and jump on one players back - I’ve missed footballYou see Hyam pinch in to deal with the perceived threat of the play in the middle, only for the ball to sail over and hit Kalas, who Shipley was left to deal with. Shipley wasn’t in a position to deal with the threat at all.
It’s a team failure - solely blaming Shipley isn’t fair.

Not for me pick a man to mark that’s your jobThey may have to change zonal marking if it becomes a problem, but our set piece defending wasn’t an issue last season.
There’s a reason zonal marking is popular - we just didn’t execute on that set play.
Please put a taxi for Shipley thread up! Ffs 1 game in and we were very unlucky and matched them without Kelly Dabo and Rose in a much higher league when a team pays millions for players and the usual pick a player haters come out of the woodwork. Ffs you couldn’t make it up!1 fucking game
