Shipley has the perfect balance of being a very decent player but also hard working. It's surprising a lot of us how technically gifted he actually is.
Still only 1 goal from the defence all season, but really pleasing to see thr midfield start to contribute. Bayliss's in particular, a midfielder making a run beyond the strikers is something we've missed for a long time.

Says to me we’ve a issue at set piece delivery’s.
* JCH I believe credited the goal at Crewe
I think the problem is a bit deeper than the deliveries. I think we don’t really have anyone who really attacks the ball in the box. JCH has showed glimpses, so to has Davies. McDonald, Willis and Grimmer (among others), aren’t that aggressive. Luton were good that, their captain (and first goal scorer) was really aggressive in going for the ball.

He was responsible for 2 goals in the game prior... at least they were at the right end!Grimmer with 2 assists as well
It’s amazing how good we can be, when the manager has kicked ass.
Why can’t the players motivate themselves like that every game?
I'm more than happy for our defenders to do their business at the other end of the pitch and not be writhin the goals
That's fine....but I wonder how many more games we'd have won or gained a point from if we'd managed to pick up, had we managed to score more from set pieces, which could have been the difference from finishing in the play offs or gaining autos. A defender scoring the odd header from the corner doesn't mean they also can't defend well.I'm more than happy for our defenders to do their business at the other end of the pitch and not be writhin the goals
Seen it just once with Willis in the Stoke game.Hardly any of our corners end up in a position to be attacked. The first half of the season Jones could barely beat the first man and lately most of Shipley's floaty efforts have sailed well past the back post. Even if you do get your head on one of those floaters it's gonna be tough to direct with power and precision - it doesn't take many weeks of that until you don't attack your position with quite as much effort as you would if you knew a whipped in cross was going to hit the zone 8 times out 10.
