What makes them unfairly dropped? Shipley came on and struggled massively.
The Kelly Evans twins aren't playing in the football league at the minute are they?
I have no issue with McNulty going up the leagues, I do have an issue with him and his agent saying he will go in a strop if he isn't allowed to move.
They got us to league one and were not given the chance to start today. The two lads in their place showed nothing to suggest they are better. We can't demand their loyalty if they are shown none by their manager. I think the players who got us to league one deserved to keep their place until they lost it.
Who would you have dropped to play Shipley?
Should we have kept Stokes and Haynes and kept them at left back?
Maybe Robins has seen more in training from some of the newer players, was obvious with Sterling coming in that Grimmer would either be on the bench or new Kyle Walker.
Junior Brown on the bench?There was no logical reason to dispense with grimmer today at all. We may as well have kept Stokes as a back up defender as well as we had nothing today at all other as back up
Junior Brown on the bench?
FacepalmStokes would have been an ideal replacement when Willis went off. He’s a leader on the pitch and it’s hard to fathom why we let him go.
I agree. I think Robins has done a bit too much with the squad, i hope it doesn't cost him. A lot can be said for momentum, which he seems to have totally destroyed.Stokes would have been an ideal replacement when Willis went off.

Mcnulty left us this summer for bigger and better things as many players have done before. They receive abuse for being money grabbers etc. Today grimmer and Shipley were shown no loyalty by their manager as they were unfairly dropped for newcomers. The Kelly Evans twins were shown no loyalty for their services when they were binned this summer. Can anyone blame the mercenaries such as Leon Clarke who follow the money? Why should players show loyalty if they are shown no loyalty by their clubs? There's no loyalty in football and it shouldn't be expected of the players.
Facepalm

Absolutely. Look where he went toHappy we let him go Pete?
Erm they scored our last two goals of last season. One was virtually ever present + consistent.What makes them unfairly dropped? Shipley came on and struggled massively.

Shipley isn't in my opinion good enough. I argued this last year but he got away with it a little in league 2. Grimmer overall is our second best right back. Getting promoted means improving the squad. Sticking with the same players 'out of loyalty' could end in disasterErm they scored our last two goals of last season.

The 'better' right back Sterling hasn't played a game at L1 level or any senior level, Grimmer did well for Shrewsbury at this level. Sterling kooked culpable for both goals.Shipley isn't in my opinion good enough. I argued this last year but he got away with it a little in league 2. Grimmer overall is our second best right back.

No different to him being at readingMcNulty was there yesterday watching the game with fans,
He would of scored a shed full of goals with TA in behind him but he's gone and sitting on a nice pay check can't fault him really.McNulty was there yesterday watching the game with fans,
It was the callous way they were released that raised eyebrows among the other playersThe Kelly-Evans twins didn't have their contracts renewed at the end of a season they both barely featured in, to give them new contracts in the name of loyalty makes no sense for either side.
How was it callous?It was the callous way they were released that raised eyebrows among the other players
They were both out of contract weren't they?It was the callous way they were released that raised eyebrows among the other players
so you base sterling on 1 game? He played for chelsea in a cup tie played all 4 games for england under 19s and could play in the championship. Grimmer is a decent right back but thats it. He isnt our best right back as i originally saidThe 'better' right back Sterling hasn't played a game at L1 level or any senior level, Grimmer did well for Shrewsbury at this level.

I have sympathy with your point about Shipley but it remains to be seen whether or not he's good enough
I'm saying he's inexperienced and thus there is no evidence to say he's the best right back, u19 and u23 football is inferior to the senior game. He potentially could be great but unfair on Grimmer that Robins selected potential over actuality.so you base sterling on 1 game?
