No, he doesn't play in Shipleys 'position' at all in this system.
Hiwula was played in a 4-2-3-1 as a wide-left, Shipley plays CM assisting the front man and bombing forward.
When Robins changed to this 5-2-2-1 formation Hiwula ain't had a look in.
True, his final ball, at the time wasn't quite there, but his work rate, similar to Thomas last season, speed and skill was defo key to the way we played that season.
