Why take one off at HT even if he isn't the best there's your answer - his 'goal' last game was an OG ie not on target. He's looked very unlikely to score or even contribute anything at all.

I wasn't seeing a tremendous amount of all that from Sibley either. No manager would take one of 2 CFs off when 2 down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zag zig Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 2 hours ago, Mr Tibbs said: Let down by the 9 players behind him unfortunately. Hope that's not the last we see of him. No denying McGoldrick was a bit better in that role so it's a tough gig for Sibley to keep his spot. I'd bin off Collins and stick Sibley behind McGoldrick next week, just me though. He could’ve chased harder but there were a couple of times he did, right at the off he was at them and closed the ball down; unfortunately I think the lack of energy and service from others, led his enthusiasm to wane. Just my opinion of course, but Knight offered no more than Sibley today, for all his energy he wasted several balls forward. As for Collins I know who’s more likely to score. Sibley behind McGoldrick would be my choice next week too. All those that say he’s had his chance, Sibley barely gets a run in his favoured position, so some chance, he very often seems to be the fall guy; yet he’d give anything to be successful here, even if asked to play out of position. One day a manager might persevere with him, really hope Warne does. Mr Tibbs, CBRammette, RoyMac5 and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yani P Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I think Sibley was as poor as most today but should still get a run to see what he can do...I mean Collins does and when he isn't scoring he is just a liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't get a chance to do anything but run around aimlessly in the 1st half, no football was being played. When we needed him to play 2nd half with Didzy and Knight or Dobbin then we only had Collins, who continued to run around aimlessly!

Considering Knight played next to Bird and not behind the striker it’s a terrible excuse. Plus Knight’s played on the wing for us a lot of times and at right back earlier this season, it doesn’t have to be one of the other RoyMac5 and Zag zig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sibley is still here or if he isn't and also who else comes and goes I begin to think it best for his career of he moves on. He always seems to be the scapegoat for a poor team performance. Yet he remains one of the very few players who can score out of nothing. I refuse to believe this absoute tripe that you can't play Knight and Sibley in the same team. Sibley hasn't had a regular run of games in his natural position since his first season under Cocu. He has been mismanaged since. I actually think Warne playing him lb was a good call but he needed to be allowed to build on that. Kathcairns and DavesaRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as has been said pace is nothing without control and attacking threat. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
