Only 2 changes, not a drastic change, dropping 1 back into attacking midfield and sheaf can do a job next to Kelly on the ball

At least it's still 3 at the back with wing backs.

Would have played Biamou though

Agreed. Luckily Wycombe are league 1 as fuck so hopefully he'll be fine.

Happy with that, don't understand the meltdown (more on Twitter than here tbf).

We definitely need to rotate, looked very leggy vs Luton. Wycombe couldn't handle the box last year & Shipley was very good vs them too

I understand it clear 1 Shipley & 2 were 1 up front to probably the poorest side in the league...

Saying that this line up should be enough to beat them

I don't think he's adapted yet either but when you need to rotate the squad and give the players the chance to adapt, then another newly promoted team, that we were much better than in L1, is probably the right time to do it. I would have kept 2 strikers personally.

I'm guessing he doesn't feel confident about winning the aerial battle so will try and play on the deck and press their back line with the striker and 2 attacking midfielders, basically like we played last season

No problem with that lineup. People will literally pick fault in anything!

I'm not sure Shipley is good enough at this level but firstly if he's going to be competitive against anyone it's the likes of Wycombe, and secondly who else is there?

The 2 up front would play into Wycombe's strengths.
Having 2 x CAMs gives them a lot of problems, do the midfielders drop deep to pick them up & leave space for Sheaf, Kelly & the WBs? Or do their defenders step out to pick them up leaving space for Walker to exploit?

It's exactly what killed Wycombe last season.

I mean, fans on twitter moaning about no 2 up, which is fair enough... But we went from one extreme to the other with the Rotherham games and the Luton game... Create loads then create nothing...

Hamer 1 off suspension, extended after today is that correct?
Line up makes perfect sense tbh

The key will be a combination of how close the base of the 'box' play to the attacking midfielders and how free the wingbacks are to support. If there's a big gap between Sheaf/Kelly and O'Hare/Shipley then the short easy progression passes have to travel too far and we'll end up forced to lump it into channels for Walker to chase.

I imagine the wing backs will have more freedom in this system with 1 less striker... Well in theory that is true

I share the scepticism about Shipley. Hamer must be being rested.

Prepare for big substitutions on the hour - bit like Norwich.

Changes to be expected I guess with the games in quick succession. Disappointed by Hamer not playing but if he needs a rest so be it. prob find Kelly misses the next one.

At least we can bring the likes of Biamou, Giles and Hamer of the bench if needed and this is opposition Shipley prob has more chance of being effective against. Bit concerned about his reluctance to tackle against a physical side though.

Trying to think of positives of Shipley. He does have an eye for a goal. And a decent scoring record. Fingers crossed.

Except for the fact we will be pressing with a player that won't tackle.

Playing one up front and having Shipley in the team feels a bit like having 9 players.

We literally beat them 4-1 with one up front and Shipley in the team last season.

A game against Wycombe is probably more his standard. So you would expect him to be able to put in a half decent performance.
