If we were 1-0 down and both were on the bench, I’d bring on Shipley as he’s more likely to positively influence games. Maybe there is a ‘love in’, but from a lot of fans there’s also this weird undeserved hate for our homegrown talents.
Have openly admitted that Shipley is my favourite City player, but I do think he’s far more likely to positively influence games. We didn’t miss Bayliss, we won’t miss Zainbrooke, given we get a decent replacement.
