Wtf!!! Allen literally offers absolutely nothing, I mean he does sweet fuck all, he’s a complete and utter passenger for 90 minutes. Shipley for all his faults is far more useful than Allen. I would literally (and I mean literally) sooner play with 10 men than use Allen again.At least Allen works hard. Shipley presses like he should have a beer belly
I slated Allen few weeks back & got stick on here I don’t see the same people defending him anymoreWtf!!!

The prophetI slated Allen few weeks back & got stick on here I don’t see the same people defending him anymore
speaks volumes
So would you keep Allen in the side Friday Clive ?The prophet
He doesn’t do anywhere near enough to be in one of the attacking midfield positions he’s too weak and struggles to impose himselfAllen been ok lately imo. Swansea did alright and yesterday he was not bad either.
That is ridiculousWtf!!! Allen literally offers absolutely nothing, I mean he does sweet fuck all, he’s a complete and utter passenger for 90 minutes. Shipley for all his faults is far more useful than Allen. I would literally (and I mean literally) sooner play with 10 men than use Allen again.
Agreed I wouldn’t want to play with 10 men over using Allen but he doesn’t do enough,steady league 1 player...An in form Bright is another story just don’t see us going in for him seems a long time ago he was hereThat is ridiculous
Really? Enlighten us please, what has he contributed so far?That is ridiculous
I think he means playing with 10 men instead lolReally? Enlighten us please, what has he contributed so far?
Describing Shipley lolHe doesn’t do anywhere near enough to be in one of the attacking midfield positions he’s too weak and struggles to impose himself
Describing Shipley lol
Bit late to join in, but i can't see your point here, Allen atleast works hard, Shipley (at the moment) offers less than little, and dont get me wrong i like the guy and want him to do well.Wtf!!!

At least Shipley is in areas to effect a game at times he’s either great or poor that’s the thing with shippers,Allen buzzes around struggling to impose himself on the game he suits the system but if we are looking at scoring more goals he needs to be dropped who for I have no idea I was shocked we didn’t go in for another O’Hare type player even on loan before window closedShipley will score goals though, nearly did against Boro. Have to agree with those saying Allen isn’t good enough, unfortunately he’s not. Physically miles off and not a good enough player to compensate.
Marosi and the defence get no rest we don’t have an outlet to give them a breatherShipley came in from a good last season but has been lacklustre in the last couple of games. Whether his concussion has knocked him more than he expected I don't know. Allen again did well last season and runs around a lot (like a fly on a mouldy sandwich) but his tackling and attempts at goal are considerably lacking this season. But so far, neither are the options going forward. We need 2 new CAMs who are used to this league and can get around players.
Surprised how noone has picked up on Marosi's drop in form. He looks like he's frightened to catch the ball at the moment.
Walsh is the player we are missing. Hamer has not replaced what he offered the team. Bright light up our team, that made a late charge to the play offs two seasons ago in league one. The step up is clear in terms of quility and he might not make any impact at this level. From an attitude perspective, if the ship is in a storm you need all parties to be committed and together. For that reason a no thanks.
We miss Walsh for sure
He would come deep and get the ball from bsck 3 and then possibilities included short pass long pass out wide etc
Now its sheaf who plays simple. Hamer has the long pass on him for sure and simply.mudt play every game for me but he's not hot run of form close to how Walsh was playing imo. Also doesnt support strikers and amc as much as Walsh did?
Early days but I wouldn't mind a loan for Walsh in january
I defo think we have budget left for jan and if it’s possible we may make a move he will have to drop in wages also which may be an issue a loan is possible thoI haven't heard that Walsh had signed the new contract offered him and I haven't heard if he has recovered from injury and is in the Bristol squad, I might have missed both pieces of news. As the next window is only 2 months away, Bristol would surely want some commitment from him soon or would want to sell him in January. I would certainly have him back if we could get him.

I would be very shocked if he hasn’t kept some of his budget back for Jan mateI would be amazed if we have the funds to sign anyone, we have already spent the money. The only way someone good is coming in is if we sell, which doesn’t look likely given our performance so far
Would absolutely have Walsh back in an instant for sure, but not sure if his game would also be impacted like the rest of the team with the constant pressing we get from most teams in the Championship?
Definitely has that extra bit of quality though needed

How’s it a different story? What’s his record like at this level?Agreed I wouldn’t want to play with 10 men over using Allen but he doesn’t do enough,steady league 1 player...An in form Bright is another story just don’t see us going in for him seems a long time ago he was here

I'm surprised this conversation is still going on. We're Cov fans so we always look back to our limited successes with joy and pride and a certain degree of sky blue tinted glasses. But we can't honestly think that Bright, Walshy or anyone who performed amazingly last season would turn this season around. We were playing with a lot of confidence against teams that were poorer than us. Players had room to play and do their little tricks. So we established our game early and couldn't be broken down.
This season, we are playing much better teams than League 1, we have zero confidence, players are being hit as soon as they get the ball (and give it away as a result). And with the exception of Hamer and Sheaf, this is the same team that played League 1 last season. We struggled against MK Dons in August and Gillingham in September. That is still this teams level.
We need to get some Champ experience in the midfield area to strengthen, have the ability to hold on to the ball for more than 5 seconds and to be able to push forward to give Godden a reason to run towards goals (rather than just pressure their keeper for goalkicks). Noone mentioned so far fits those roles even close.
Disagree to a point. Yes, the defence is constantly under pressure due to our attacking failings but Marosi's drop in form goes much further than that. He's not collecting balls that he did previously and when he drops or pats a ball down in the 6 yd box, that too is adding to panic and indecision in the back 3. Another thing I can't understand is our goalkicks. Last year, balls were directed wide for the WBs or into space for Godden. Now, we put our CBs around the penalty area for goalkicks to pass the ball out which lets the opposition challenge in a very advanced position (how many times have the CBs lost the ball on the edge of the box from a goal kick? ). Why the change ? It would be pointless hoofing the ball up to Godden but what is stopping Marosi from using the WBs as a better and more attacking outlet ?
