I was really excited when we signed this guy from Coventry but I’ve been very underwhelmed thus far. Last season we really lacked an attacking midfielder in the number 10 role and kind of hoped this guy was going to be it after what I’d heard from my Coventry supporting friends.
Anonymous most games. Is it fitness? Sharpness?
For me getting him fired on all cylinders is the key to any success this season.

Agree with that - I remember him as a very good player at Coventry and we can only hope he recovers his mojo quickly because we have few (if any) alternatives at the moment.

I have to say I’ve been very disappointed so far in the 5 games or so I’ve seen of him.
Is it the system? Confidence? Out of position?

I said a three year deal was surprising for a striker who'd only ever (still has only ever) scored 1x football league goal. After learning he's on £2,000 a week, that makes it a bitter pill to swallow. Shipley has goals, assists and a promotion from this division on his CV.

Come on now. I know yesterday wasn’t great but we can’t start a character assassination on every player when it’s August. It takes time for players to settle in. One thing I do have confidence in is the player’s Cotterill has bought in. Everything is so knee-jerk!!

It's obviously too early to write him off but the games I've been to he's been anonymous, hopefully he settles soon

I, like the OP, think Shipley has done absolutely nothing since signing, and that’s not because we lost yesterday as suggested above, whether we’ve won lost or drawn this season Shipley has been anonymous. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad player and it doesn’t mean he’ll always be poor for us but people are allowed to voice their opinion on what’s he’s done so far. Off topic but is there a way to mute certain posters on here? I deleted my old account of over 10 years due to a certain poster and like every other thread this one has been derailed thanks for the same person.

Yes there is, sure others will be able to let you know far better than I can, it's something to do with clicking on the posters name that you want to ignore. It's best done on laptop or anything other than a phone. I've actually not muted anyone as yet - sadly the really annoying ones you dont seem to be able to mute for some strange reason. So I've had to resort to the invisible "ignore" button.

Looks a bit overweight for me.
Also why on earth does Pyke keep getting mentioned and in terms these threads getting ruined.
Can the mods not do something?

Can the mods not do something? it's because they are trying to laugh their way out of an embarrassing pickle they go theirselves in to the thread is about shipley who if we have a look at the ipswich 2nd goal on saturday we'll see a glimpse of what we have signed in a 3 year contract , and why plan a , the only plan is to miss the midfield out did someone mention the word quality ?

He does look unfit to me, but we could sign Mbappe to play upfront for us and I guarantee we'd make him look like a non league striker with the way we play.

Yes he is.At Coventry he spent a lot of time either sitting on the bench or playing in the reserves so regular first team football is a bit of a shock for the lad😉

On the flip side I've been impressed with summer signing Chey Dunkley.
