Sounds like he’s gone. Robins on CWR said he doesn’t know if he’s going to be here or not so wanted to give him a final run out at the Ricoh.
Why? Surely we’re not a charity. Why not give someone a run out who will be here next season.Sounds like he’s gone. Robins on CWR said he doesn’t know if he’s going to be here or not so wanted to give him a final run out at the Ricoh.
So he changed the whole shape just to get Willis on because he is going to leave?
As I said on the match day thread, I thought Mason was having a good game.
Same as about the last 15 games he has beenSilly substitution, what is the point of having Brown on the bench?
Yep - sounded like MR thinks he's off, and was giving him a last few minutes in front of the home fans. To be fair, I think Jordan Willis deserves that too - he's given us a lot over the years, including that goal at Wembley !
Also he’s off as he didn’t want to sign another contract for uslets assume that was the reason for bringing him on. No fans knew that so what's the point. he didn't get a send off did he, mearly a polite applause for coming on as a sub during a game
Bizarre if so.So he changed the whole shape just to get Willis on because he is going to leave?

Once Shipley had moved from central midfield we totally lost our way today strange decisionCan't recall if it was Robins that said, regarding Mason, he just stopped being able to get forward....
Quite conceivable that Robins brought Willis on to go 3 at back and push Shipley out wide... licence to go forward and therefore Sterling on the other side too.
Didn't work out but that kind of thinking does make sense.... Footballing decision also. Can't honestly see Robins solely making the change just to get Willis a game.
If that’s the case why didn’t just make a straight swap by bringing Brown on?Can't recall if it was Robins that said, regarding Mason, he just stopped being able to get forward....

Yep agreedWhere Willis differs from a lot of L1 centre backs is that he has pace. That's what we'll miss.
Spot on. I always think Hyam or Davies look a lot better with Willis alongside them.Where Willis differs from a lot of L1 centre backs is that he has pace. That's what we'll miss.
I feel that certainly Hyam is technically a better centre half, he generally reads the game better and leads the line better. However Willis has that pace to cover his own mistakes and those of his defensive partner or full back. For me Davies is an old fashioned kick anything in front of him kind of defender. We will miss Willis’s pace for sure but we also don’t know what we are getting in this Rose lad and I also felt Morgan Williams equipped himself really well in his cameo against Fleetwood especially up against one of the best forwards in the division.Spot on.

Ps That’s not to say they haven’t done pretty well as a pairing over the last few weeks just Willis pace can sometimes be a get out of jail
Willis has square boots and a square head but hes done well for usI feel that certainly Hyam is technically a better centre half, he generally reads the game better and leads the line better.

I might add as well that our distribution out from the back is much better without Willis as both Davies and Hyam are far superior at that.
If I was MR I’d want a early answer and not be waiting the summer to find out his plans.
