May Contain Nuts Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, RoyMac5 said: Based on what, the fact Sibley is a youngster struggling to recreate his 'form' from two seasons ago? Show me any player attacking who can recreate their past form, or build up any new form based on 20 minutes here and there played out of position in a team which has a defence-first setup. Funnily enough the first time (actually only) he was used correctly, in position, in an attacking setup with other people to play off was Brentford away, scored a good goal to get us a point. After that? Back to the wing! He did have a good game out of position on the right but that was when we trialled the Waghorn/Gregory combo so he had 2 CFs to play with, he wasn't just stuck out there on his own with the nearest attacker / midfielder 30 yards away from him Yes he gives away silly free kicks and gets a few bookings. Does that justify his constant misuse and the nullification of any attacking threat he might bring to a team already utterly desperate for some attacking flair? The fear of him giving away a free kick that leads to a goal or picking up enough bookings to be suspended for 4, 5 games a season is understandable when results are so tight and can hinge on so little but it works both ways. Use him properly and the benefits should far outweigh the risks.

EnigmaRam Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Well I know things aren’t great but I remember games we had no shots on target and very little chances last season. We could have had several goals yesterday if we’d taken our chances. Definitely need someone who can score a goal or 15 though RoyMac5, LeedsCityRam, angieram and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibley is good in one type of system to which he has to be accommodated Do you think the squad is loaded with talent honestly? I don't think it's inherently disrespectful to say that we need to maximise our talent the best we can as we are short on people who can compete at a second division level. If we were shouting 'you're crap' in the street that'd be a different matter. Last season our midfield didn't support the front line nor did it protect the backline very well and that needs to change. Sibley can be a key link man who for some reason doesn't seem to be in wayne's plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibley can be a key link man who for some reason doesn't seem to be in wayne's plans. I think Rosenior must have some say in our plans as well. Genuine question. What is Sibleys position is he a 10 . Does Rooney want to play with a 10 . I have no doubt Sibley has great ability but his temperament is suspect at times even though you need his bite. Now take MaX Bird does he get the same plaudits as Sibley from the fans I’m not sure. I mean we had Owen Bradley saying a star is born at PP in commentary (and I like Owen ) after he scored a great goal and it was a great goal. Football though is about consistency week in week out and that’s what he needs to develop and so to say Rooney doesn’t like him or rate might not be true . Sibley is an impact player IMO answers he can make things happen where as with Shinnie and Bird you know what you will get . It’s a tough one and th lad is very young I actually think Rooney will be good for Sibley I mean Shaun Barker said the system he came on to yesterday would suit him and so I take that as recognition of how we need to utilize the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't think Bird is as good as the things he needs to be good at as Sibley is tbh. But that's just my opinion. Sibley for my money isn't being given enough game time this pre-season, if it was me I'd be benching Morrison and putting Sibley in for 65 minutes. I'm not sure how you can develop consistency if you're not being played regularly? That just doesn't make sense logically really. Sibley wasn't utilised enough last season either and I'm not sure how not giving a talented young player much game time is going to be good for him? Shinnie and Bird as a combination were absolutely shocking last season and looked shocking in the second half of the game yesterday.

I think a team so lacking in creativity and goals can’t afford not to play one of it’s most creative young players. I was hoping under Wazza’s new style and game plan we would be more offensive and play just the one holding midfielder….certainly hope that will happen when Bielik is back playing ?
