The same could be said for Haynes. Bottles every challenge he goes into.needs resting for a while and coaching how to tackle I feel.
Had a good run but lately he seems too lightweight, always pulls out of tackles and started to stop going past people too now.
Delivers a good dead ball still, but needs to toughen up and realise you have to fight for it on this league... unless you have the skill of say Jodi jones/ Jacob Murphy or even Reid when he comes on ( then you can get away with one a bit more )
Really frustarating now the amount of 50/50 balls he just pulls out of
At least he tries to beat the man though and does get crosses in... Shipley is like a poor mans haynes . Sorry , wouldnt berate himThe same could be said for Haynes. Bottles every challenge he goes into.
Not sure he is same player from start though.. think they got it right on cwr when they said that reId is best used as second half sub when defenders are tired and he is keen as mustard coming onReid is crying out for a start, always seems to be a quality ball coming into the box from him...
Baker when he is fit !Did he not have a knock recently .
Might be trying to look after himself ?
It's quite handy having Kyle as an impact sub .
Any alternatives?
Yeah, but what about this season?Baker when he is fit !
I am not convinced.Was very good away at Mansfield and got a couple of set piece assists against Grimsby. But crewe away he bottled every tackle. The Reid conundrum... Is he effective from the start? I think Monday we will find out
As a natural centre midfielder Shipley is a defensive winger, plays narrow and is useful for keeping it tight from the off, a tactic Robins has been fond of all season. He is good protection for Haynes. Think it needs a decision on a game by game basis from now on in. Yeovil have just won their last away game and had a rest on Friday. I would want to hit them from the off at home and not let their confidence grow further by keeping it tight for a half. Who will worry them and put them on the back foot? Reid to start this one for me.
I am not convinced.
Much better option from off the bench I think .
He CAN do that and I do rate him, but he also floats too many in and the defence can find it easy to clear when he does so.Have to say despite the post - none of our boys can deliver a corner like he can - a low rising fast ball
He probably can - but can he do 90 mins - no doubt his impact has been really good over the last few gamesReid can put in a decent corner.
Bayliss and JCH I would say.Has a great left peg, pretty much agreed... bottles every single tackle, pretty much agreed
To suggest our upturn in form is down to Shipley is wide if the mark in my opinion. Played as many games we lost as won I’d say. The upturn in form is more likely credited to Doyle coming back , McNulty banging them in, JCH arrival and great link up with McNulty & Tom Bayliss establishing himself as a proper talent... not Jordan Shipley “establishing” himself in the side!
Played as many games we lost as won I’d say.
You’d say wrong. Lost only 7 of the 26 games he’s featured in.
‘featured in’ isn’t what I said.. I said won ... so from those games how many did we draw & win , and how many did he play most the match or come on a sub.
Anyway all that aside, I followed up specifically with the general point I was trying to make... which was related to the previous posters comment about Shipley’s run in the side contributing to our upturn in results... which I don’t agree with , I named the players who I felt that could apply to
Due to the lack of quality coaches at the u18,u23’s and the constant changing at that level over the last two years there’s not much ‘quality’ coaching happening at that level I’m afraid. Shipley mayy improve over time now he is in the first team picture. Any progression of the young players etc (Baylis etc) was/is due to excellent raw talent not quality coaching they received.
Reid should start on Monday as it’s a home game, Shipley should be on the bench in case we need to shure things up. I think Haynes should sit this one out too, if Reid plays we don’t need a marording left back.
