He's very dangerous on the edge of the area. If sheafs weird side foot pass attempt had fallen to Shipley I'm fairly confident that would have gone in.
Not having a replay didn't help but my initial thought was he got caught between two minds of shooting or choosing to play Shipley in down the left and ended up doing neither and it looked terrible. It happens. It's happened to much better players than Sheaf and will do again. As you've said even if it was just a shit shot, it's one shit shot. He was perfectly decent yesterday.FFS Sheaf scuffed a shot, it happens. He’s shown repeatedly he’s got a good shot from range. His free kick late on was excellent.

I was surprised Shippers didn't take the shot on when he was in a good position on the edge of the box but found Godden. It was actually a decent ball to Godden, but having scored one I thought he'd have taken a pop.Didn't really read that as overly critical of Sheaf to be honest, more praise for how good Shipley is in those areas.
They both played well.

Mate chill out. I was bigging up shippers shooting that's all. If I hares chances had fallen to mcfadz I'd say he'd score, doesn't mean I want him up frontFFS Sheaf scuffed a shot, it happens. He’s shown repeatedly he’s got a good shot from range. His free kick late on was excellent.
Cheers pal. Someone's awake this morning at leastDidn't really read that as overly critical of Sheaf to be honest, more praise for how good Shipley is in those areas.

Whiich was my point.Shipley does have a beast of a left foot
I am wondering if it was the after effects of the clash of heads in the first half? Probably wrong but to me he looked like he was feeling ill, rather than injured.

Sorry to disagree but although Shipley had a decent game last night to say he has stepped up is wrong. He has been average at best. Take the “he is one of our own” glasses off.Concussion needs careful monitoring he will out for a few weeks I suspect.
Shipley has stepped up well this season. Especially as he was forced to play out of position for a few games.
He is a real team player, has a good eye for a pass and not afraid to take a shot on.

he was played out of position in his first couple of appearances.
He was pushed further forward last night and made a much better contribution.
I thought there were a few cynical, deliberate challenges early on. Nothing seemed to be said, so I thought I must’ve had my fans head on, but without a replay it was hard to say.I thought this at the time. The challenge on him was pretty awful, and I was a little surprised how little was made of it at the time. The Swansea player recklessly led with his forearm giving Shipley a right whack. Think there are determined rest times for players coming off for concussion so its a shame for Shipley that this happened, having made his first significant impact on a game this season.

Will take time. He's progressed every season. It's little things like when o hare feeds the ball into him low and he tries a little flick that league 1 works, championship it's easy. If he's gonna try it make sure it works
Good point, things that worked in League One will be snuffed out more easily in the Championship. But it is a fine balance. You still need players to be brave enough to try things and not be detered. Otherwise you end up with a team playing safe negative passes and everyone is scared to shoot.
If a player is trying to be positive and what they try fails due to good defending; I personally can forgive that. Because next time they might actually unlock a defence and we score.
Not quite sure where the link to Rooney and the Premier League come into this. I make judgements on what I see on the pitch, irrespective of whether a guy loves the shirt.I think playing out of position early on at a higher level was a big ask of a young player. He actually did ok and not as bad as some fans made out.
I haven't got "he is one of kur own glasses on." I say it as I see it, just like I have defended Sheaf, Hamer, Rose and Hyam. In fact I haven't moaned about any of our players this season.
Perhaps you should take off your "judge everyone like they should be Premier League standard and the finished article at 18 because Rooney was glasses."
