The balance that Robins sees. A player who will defend and will attack, as opposed to a player who will only attack.

Disagree on the myth bit. I agree, he is poor defensively, but as quite a chunk of his career has been as a left back he is just more disciplined than Hiwula, who's only thought and instinct is to attack. That therefore gives the shape, because Shipley will defend and will attack. Defensively...

Think again. ;)

He hasn't played well. Out of Hiwula and Shipley, one can play fullback. I'll let you guess as to which one. ;) I think that is the answer.

Why has Robins been picking him THIS season?

Hiwula's first thought is to attack and move the ball forwards, Shipley's is not. He's more happy keeping it simple and keep the ball moving around the midfield probing for space. He does get forwards, but not to the same degree. Shipley is a lot less likely to bomb forwards at every given...

Okay, so why WAS Robins picking him? What would be your explanation? Shipley has clearly not played well, so why was Robins picking him?

He is a left sided midfielder though and a bit more disciplined in that role. It's a really tough one, because even though I like Shipley, he hasn't at all played well this season.

Well that's what people kept saying, that Shipley was there for balance. Everyone knows he hasn't been at all great this season and has struggled, but people could see why Robins was picking him. Hiwula is not a winger.

11+ should be enough to get spelling and grammar right. ;)

Yeah, think you are right. All these new players see an opportunity and huge market, but they simply cannot all survive.

Just need to add, obviously they are not all on at the same time, which makes a massive difference. ;) All of the Amazon series I watch are finished for now. On Netflix, out of those, only the Good Place and Riverdale have new epsiodes at the moment. I love Westworld and Handmaid's Tale, but...

Agree. Can only think Robins is giving him licence to do what he's doing at the moment, being the busy little bee all over the place.

They are forced to fill up their platforms aren't they, to make their catalogue look all the bigger. On Amazon though, I watch Sneaky Pete, have just watched Homecoming (which I thought was brilliant), Bosch, Jack Ryan, plus films. On Netflix, The Good Place, Better Call Saul, Black Mirror...

The streaming wars: Can Disney topple Netflix? - The streaming wars: Can Disney topple Netflix? Someone is going to get toppled here surely. I can't see how they can all survive and people obviously are not going to be paying monthly subscriptions to several different players each month...

Or if not him, Robins instead.

Yeah, get that. My parents do go to bed early though, so miss any programme after about 8.30.

Well that all went pretty smoothly this morning. Sri Lanka looked very comfortable at first, but as soon as Dickwella was out it all pretty much fell apart for them. Win by 57 runs and all over in 30 mins.

That thought used to be the bane of my life when I was younger. Used to try so hard not to sleep and live every single moment. Used to really make me fret. Even wrote a play about it. Doesn't bother me so much these days though.

Nope. They both seem sad and lost.
