What has Shipley done? Yet has started the last few games despite being consistently poor. Jones had been on the bench head of him up to that point in the season then suddenly leapfrogs him (possibly due to Covid) and has now stayed ahead of him despite poor performances.
He was abysmal , barely hit a pass to one of our players and shot from anywhere
Yep-and people can’t see that he gets a free pass on occasions because of this local lad crap-Allez Allez Allez and all that cobblers. So what!
Packet of quavers wouldve been enough. One good game away at Pboro distorted a lot of peoples views
You defend him at every opportunity its embarrasing. Are you his Dad?
I dont think anyone is singling and criticizing Shipley himself - its more criticizing Robins for the bonkers decisions to keep playing him in midfield where he's never been good enough at championship level. That's not his fault. He had a great game at LWB and then all of a sudden Robins thinks he's going to do a job in midfield? Its fucking bonkers.
Even more strange when only a few weeks ago Robins was singing his praises and saying he was a player who could make a difference in the coming games
No, but goes to a few meetings where Shipley turns up (I go myself) and shakes a few hands-have a bit of banter with his dad and all is well in the world.
Cannot stand this song. It is pure cringe. And not just us, anyone nicking it. Its clearly associated with Liverpool
Not had a meeting since we'll before the pandemic and his family no longer go to games. We played 5aside with Rose's dad a fortnight ago so if I defend him now is that the same? Fact is you mention this every time, I consistently back all our players. Robins picks the side not the players. I've not jumped in on loads of posts about him lately but a singled out thread after a poor team performance are we only allowed to respond if we agree with the criticism? All I said is he wasn't alone and wasn't the worst. Both of those are true.
It was a poor night for the players and Fadz was fresh but he looked his age .
I think the frustration with Shipley is from his recent run of games and last night was just the icing on the cake. Yes he had 2 decent games at LWB but he is hopeless in AM and offers absolutely nothing. He doesn't press, his passing is poor, his touch is off and he just seems a yard or 2 behind the pace of the game. Some questions have to be asked of Robins about why Shipley is now back in favour as it is just baffling. Of course we have injury issues but if Shipley is the answer then I have no idea what the question is.
If Shipley is here next year we are in trouble as it will indicate we have next to nothing budget,out of contract in the summer but we didn’t take a fee offered in January
Still better than having a player everybody agrees isn't up to the standard walking away for nothing in the summer
