O'Hare's omission will have Blakburn scratching their heads, who do they foul now ?

To me this team is set up not to concede Is this another case of Robbins thinking we were attacking against Swansea lost so I’ll play for a draw again? Wouldn’t be the first time this season

We’re 2 up front ?

 

[fatso]

MR is taking the piss out of Blackburn with that starting line up!
I hope it doesnt come back to bite us on the arse.

On the plus side, Blackburn would of spent the last couple of days preparing to nullify Ohare and Hamer

If that was his thinking, I'd imagine he'd play 1 up and play an extra midfielder

 

[stevefloyd]

Well Robins has more confidence than we have

 

[Evo1883]

I'm confident, don't know why though

They’re not prepared for the thunderous left foot of Shipley.

 

[kg82]

Quality ? He lacks it most weeks

Dumbass.

 

[Johhny Blue]

1-0 Cov win I'll go with.

Blackburn are sort of on a freefall right now with no wins in five. Cov aren't doing great, but they're still fighting and taking points here and there. This might be one of them.

Or 3?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

That is an atrocious team

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Hamer hasn’t been at it as much as he was but tbf since going two up top his role is deeper and not box to box. James isn’t a bad replacement for the role. Shipley in for COH looks a strange one though... Callum is a MOM contender most weeks.

 

[bawtryneal]

That is an atrocious team

Haha

 

[procdoc]

I don’t think it’s a more defensive set up at all, all the positional swaps are like for like. Only one that puzzles me is Shipley in for O’Hare. We will miss his ability to take the ball on the half-turn and i am worried that we will miss his work rate, as Shipley doesn’t put as much effort in, in my opinion

 

[Londonccfcfan]

looking at the pitch its in a right state so not a game for passing it around

Yeah team seems a bit more huff and puff and lump it up there.

Run the players into the ground. And bring on fresh legs plenty of options.

Can't see Dabo and Shipley playing 90...

Writing your name puzzles you

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Not sure which management courses MR has been on, but hope it is one that covers a different approach to the above suggestion.

Most footballers need a good kick Shipley has got away with below par performances for a long time, most would say he is lucky to be at this level and he wouldn’t get near the first team at most other clubs in this league.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

All the best to Shippers today I’d imagine it’s last chance saloon if he wants to get into Robins plans as a Championship player

 

[OldBedrocker]

We’re 2 up front ?

Yeah and predominantly defensive minded players behind

Not only your opinion

He might see how much he brings to the team today as his replacement won’t be as hard working.

Nor would Wilson Hyam Mcfazdean Biamou Bakayoko etc

 

[Evo1883]

Leave Mcfadzean out of this

 

[jordan210]

Has anyone figured out a way to use airplay with ifollow ? Dont have an HDMI cable sadly

 

[Frostie]

If that was his thinking, I'd imagine he'd play 1 up and play an extra midfielder

You can't compensate for the workrate of O'Hare, particularly with Shipley as his replacement so Kelly & James is to try & be as solid as possible through the middle against their fairly narrow midfield/forwards & think we then play a bit more direct.

 

[ccfc92]

Time for Shipley to step up today.

Prove he can hack it and don't hide away.

 

[Johhny Blue]

can't believe he's not starting O'Hare. The lad must be knackered, that's all I can think of.

Super sub. First goal

 

[Johhny Blue]

Right then let's fucking have it you glorious sky blue bastards PUSB

 

[Jamesimus]

Nice to have a bit of experience in the middle of the park today.

 

[Nick]

Will be hard to see us pressing so much with Shipley in there. He will be blowing after 10 minutes.

I hope to get a nice surprise and he has a stormer though!

 

[I was eleven in 87]

Can’t we get the CWR commentary on away games on ifollow anymore?
