p.shilton Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Great result tonight boys, well done.....BUT I really don't want to be negative or seem like I am getting at him as I think he is a class defender, but what is the deal with Shacks passing? It either goes straight up in the air (ala Savage) out for a goal kick or off for a throw in. It was very apparent tonight that he cannot complete a 5 yard pass and the ball just kept coming back if it wasn't off the pitch. I noticed it against Watford and again tonight- has he always been woeful or is it a recent thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 He's a better passer than barks imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Probably better than Barker by a nose. Not fussed though, as long as they defend well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree on recent evidence- It is all very well defending well but if you are just going to be giving the ball straight back to the opposition it begs the question as to whether it was actually good defending in the first place.

sage Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 his passing was loads better when he played left back. Can't explain why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I raised this point the other week and said if Buxton did what Shackell does with the ball a lot of our fans would be ripping him to pieces.. Obviously not saying Buxton is as good as Shackell, just that Shackell does have weaknesses. He hardly won a header against Tudgay last night then Buxton came on and never lost a header against him. I think Shackell looks like he is playing through injury sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShermanCardenas Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 every time barker gets the ball at the back and looks for a pass i cringe, definitely not his strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asanovic Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 He loves a Hollywood ball, sometimes it works, others it really doesn't. Thought they were both solid last night though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShermanCardenas Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 at least shacks is better than both the forest centre backs, all their passes just bombed out for a throw in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think Shackell is playing with an injury, a few players have to due to the budget not allowing for a decent squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Even if injured, side footing the ball out of play when trying to pass to a team mate 5 yards away is ridiculous- doing it 3 times in the same match is not acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC_17 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 just had a poor passing game usually produces amazing cross field balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 He did a few bad uns against Forest but can't say it been as bad as any other of our defenders this season. For me he shouldn't have to be making the balls he is as often as he does, we're so static at times the only option we normally have is sideways or a Hollywood ball.
