I was surprised when Allen was left out for Shipley but perhaps Robins feels the team is more balanced with someone who is left footed
Robins made the point of players not shooting early in his last start. He was guilty of this along with others but still looked like he was going to create something. The following match Shipley started and had one of his better games, noticeably shooting early. I am sure a left footed player does give better balance too. It is a shame that Allen was getting into some form and then dropped.
