I got cross with Shippers for getting shrugged off the ball, but it was just before he went off injured, so I'll assume it was down to that and forgive him!
We do look very slow on the counter and cause little threat. If we can’t work out a way to change that then we need to work out a way to push the defence up and not sit so deep for periods of the game.We were much improved today. Few notes I made on the game:
- Shipley looked a lot better in an advanced role and his goal was fantastic
- McCallum is a great little inverted wing back on the right hand side
- Giles looks like a goal threat and was unlucky not to score
- Kelly's introduction helped massively, you could see him organise people in defence and we kept the ball better
- The 3 centre backs make a solid unit
- Allen played well in a deeper role, and looked a threat in an advanced role - his 'goal' was well taken despite being offside
- On a more negative note, we were quite slow on the counter
All in all, a lot of positives to take from the game against a good outfit. We probably should have won the game in the end, but a draw is a solid result.
Good point, unlucky not to be 3. Kelly made a huge difference when he came on, certainly need him to start when fully fit. PUSB
That should do the boys a power of good, They now know they can compete with anyone.
I think they'd make a great 3 in 4-3-3 if we ever need a plan B!Anyone think Hamer could operate in the Allen role once he’s back? Think Sheaf and Kelly has the potential to flourish into a good partnership.
I agree with that but then O’Hare always looked useless playing wide so it puts a lot of pressure on Jobello and Hilßner to come in firing.I think they'd make a great 3 in 4-3-3 if we ever need a plan B!
Agree with thisThat o hare header...i mean, Max scores that. Last 5 you stick a big guy on for moments like that
If Walker was fit then I’m sure he would of came on. Annoying as we were so wasteful and did deserve the win. Don’t think the style we played with last season will carry us through unfortunately. You can afford to miss every other chance in League 1
So does AyewHe has Covid
Shippers looked really good tonight. Offers us something different to Allen alongside O'Hare.
It’s Robins’ weakest attribute, changing things as games progress. Sometimes I wish he’d just make that final change to give us a chance.Godden is a lethal finisher. We all know this but with 10 to go, us pressing why not bring the big guy on to mix it up. I just wish MR would be bold and make that attacking change. Pask showed great attacking intent and it gave them something else to think about. 85 a baka or a max, fresh strength and energy against a tired defence. What do we have to lose!?
I thought he had a good half, battled well
Don’t think the style we played with last season will carry us through unfortunately.
Kelly the glue and made Sheaf play even better when he came on, complEment each other well.
