I think we do play more attractive football when Shop doesn't play. We were excellent in the first half and didn't miss him at all, but once they shifted tactics and started closing us down quicker and playing hoof ball it wouldn't have been better if we could have countered it. I think Shop is a good part of our squad but for me because he can't finish for toffee we shouldn't build the team round him. I'd like to see him coming off the bench a bit more instead.


Exactly. How we expect to get out of this league basing our attack around a non-striking striker is beyond me. Yes, he works hard, yes, he's awkward but he rarely scores with his head and his first touch is abysmal. If you include Arnold as the fourth striker, his strike rate is worst of the four and of the others, one hasn't played yet for whatever reason, and the other seems to be a hamstring waiting to happen.

A lot   of fans say that lenny is better with his feet than with his head and can pick a pass, there for would it not be better to pass the ball to the back of the net instead of shooting

There it is. Hurrah.
