The one positive about their performances today is that that should be the last time we see the chuckle brothers this season.
Laurel and Hardy
Cannon and Ball
Abbot and Costello
Ah a thread on these two just what this forum was missing.
Not sure if it was Allen or Shipley who was at fault for an out of position Dacosta to go one down after a minute and mean we were chasing.
QPR were hardly pedal at the metal 2nil up though. Fact is they were much better than us in all areas, but we always have to single a couple out.Dacosta's poor performance doesn't excuse their performances though.
No coincidence that we improved offensively the minute they were subbed.
And for the players that get singled out there are also people who make excuses for them.QPR were hardly pedal at the metal 2nil up though. Fact is they were much better than us in all areas, but we always have to single a couple out.
You still haven'tI said after a game in September that I hope I never have to see Shipley play Attacking Midfield for City again
Eccles showed more in 20 minutes than Shipley and Allen showed in 70 mins.
I don’t even think Shipley is league 1 level (yes I did say this last year), however I am amazed as what appears to be a lack of interest and fitness - his confidence seems shot and he shouldnt be anywhere near the first team squad.
Allen - should be no more than a squad / sub player at present.
Think thats half his problem, his natural fitness seems so low, and hes got the look of a player now that doesnt want the ball. You don't have 20 mins to control the ball in this league. Also his workrate is non existent, oppositon almost take the piss out of him, walking past him like he isnt there whilst hes doing his jockey like he thinks hes guiding them somewhere.Shipley will give you the odd long range goal but that tends to hide that he doesn’t produce much else and he always looks like he is blowing out of his arse.
It’s the fact the championship level is a lot quicker and more physically demanding than league 1 & 2T

Yes agree the second attacking position has been a big let down Hilßner, kastneer and jobello have all robbed a wage and taken up a space in the squad but hindsight is fantasticThey've been given enough opportunities. Both poor again today and that second attacking midfield position has been such a problem all season. O'Hare can't do it all.
Could Gyokeres do a job there?
