Shipley will be 21 next year and had a full season of mens footy. Next year we'd have Andreu, Kelly, Doyle, Bayliss. 2 attacking mids and 2 defensive mids. Shipley as a 5th choice CM is a worry to you?[/QUOTE)
Think he will be higher than that Andreu yet to prove himself ,don't think Kelly is that good without Doyle playing alongside him and Doyle himself will be 37 Bayliss will probable be sold by our owners.
If it was really up to me I'd be working on Shipley as first choice LB for next season. I don't think he's tricky enough as a winger, creative or imposing enough for an AM/DM. He's decent in the tackle and in the air and gets up and down the pitch very well. Think he'd make an excellent LB supporting a more creative player in front of him.And if we have 2 season ending i juries again? We are already down to having shipley as a starter
I like him and he can play left back.If it was really up to me I'd be working on Shipley as first choice LB for next season.

Agree - he is very involved but often gives the ball away when trying to create something: he might be better often concentrating on defending and letting others focus on the attacking options. He has got a decent shot on him from range too.If it was really up to me I'd be working on Shipley as first choice LB for next season.

He played left back one game early in the season and did well. Think it might have been Blackburn but not sure.
Centre mid v Blackburn along with Stevenson. Got torn to shreds.
I remember that bit when he was CM with Stevenson, but I am sure there was a game where he dropped back to Left Back and was really good.
Just can't remember which it was.
It was Shrewsbury Nick and I agree he did really well that game at left back
No reason that couldn't happen too. It's part of my issue with our negative tactics that it is very hard to give game time to squad players when you're never comfortable in games.I'd rather develop the excellent Camwell.
He had my vote to start there on Tuesday. With Grimmer out and with Willis and Stokes as our fullbacks it gives us very limited support in attack. Especially if Vincenti is getting picked at right midfield, we can then play Reid on the left for some more conventional width.Shipley at left back-not a bad shout to be fair.
But then isn't Reid better there with Stokes, given Stokes at least is comfortable defending? Not sure I'd fancy Shipley supporting Reid on that flank.He had my vote to start there on Tuesday.

blame recruitment on mowbray please. robins is perfect remmeber. and tommy wriddingtonNot because some of Robins signings have not been good enough? The only reason Shipley is playing is because Vincenti has been poor
I've come to the conclusion, Wingy, that you are either his agent or his uncle.I'd rather develop the excellent Camwell.
Is it really any different to Grimmer behind Jones earlier in the season? I think Shipley is prett comfortable with the defensive side of the game and has as good an engine as anyone to get up and down in that role.But then isn't Reid better there with Stokes, given Stokes at least is comfortable defending?

His agent is Stephen Hunt. Plot twist is that Stephen Hunt is Wingy, probably explains his poor performances if he was on here whilst we were playing
