What a terrible first half so far, woeful in every aspect, if he's still on the park when they come out after the break, he'll have been lucky to do so. [Post edited 18 Mar 2023 15:48]

He was talking about the pitch with that comment, not the player. |  |

I dunno, if it was anybody else I think we'd be screaming for them to be hauled off, but because he's got a load of goals under his belt and is usually so good, he rightly, has a lot of goodwill in the bank. |
TB - I hate to say it but you sound very typical of a small number of Town fans (I guess every club has them) that’s start screaming about players who are struggling rather than encouraging them. Just about every motivational book and talk I’ve read or heard says that encouragement is the best way to get the best out of people! |  |

Glad we are resorting to clutching at these sorts of straws for something to moan about now.
Our top players not hitting their highs in a game where we were unlucky not to lead by more and he has a goal disallowed is pretty good going. |  |

And then he does something like that! :D |
It was a fair, if overstated, point though. I also thought he'd been pretty poor, passes were going astray and the ball wasn't sticking, shots were off target, nothing going right.
And then, as you say, he did that, I couldn;t believe he kept hold of that ball for so long.
Fair play Mr Chaplin, you keep going. |  |

Chaplin was superb for the goal but did very little otherwise. Then again, if a player is having an off day and still manage to produce a piece of much needed magic then can't really complain. |  |

Bloody hell stokie. Talking about seeing what you want to see rather than what is actually posted.
He is referring to the pitch looking beaten up. It is. The players have said it. The manager has said it. Ashton has said it. We are putting in a new pitch at the end of the season, |  |

Funny, the Shrewsbury commentators both had him as best player on the pitch. |  |

Seems like your GK kept you in a 0-0 today against a poor Stoke team, must be getting worried playoffs are slipping away. |  |

They did us a favour by fouling Burns and taking the option of passing it to him out of the equation. |  |

I agree, far better to encourage people to obtain the desired result. But, I was just making a comment on his first half performance, which was well below par, he looked better in the second half, so I'm guessing the half time talk did him good. I wouldn't be screaming and moaning at him from the stands, unlike some that I'm sure would be. | |

Yep, at this stage of the season, I'd be happy to see somebody have a shocker for 89 minutes and then pop up out of nowhere with a goal, performance is irrelevant to us now, all about the points. | |

What an amazing season. Record breaking. Chappers has been brilliant often, and always seems passionate. Today was collectively some of the best football I've watched in s long time. We are so exciting and all fans should be excited about our future.
And you were tippy tapping away at half time knocking Chappers? Wake up. |  | | |

To be honest I misread his post as I wasn't really paying too much attention so the criticism of my post is fair. To be honest I was out then and shouldn't have been paying any attention.
I've edited and apologised.

Indeed. Surprised it's taken me to the bottom of page 2 to see that point made. A hand in both goals. The OP, yet again, talking bobbins. |  |

In fairness to the OP, I think it's a bit much to say he had a hand in the first goal. He's passed a ball 7 yards in a straight line to an unmarked player.
Chaplin had a much better 2nd half, alot quicker with the ball, and the ball seemed to stick better than it did in the first half, so what ever changes or talks KM had with him certainly helped. TB may have gone a bit far with taking chappers off at HT, I didn't think he was that bad, but he and Broadhead certainly didn't have the best of halves and needed to and did have better 2nd halves. |  |

You have to be in the right place to make the pass - and decide to do that pass rather than another one. It isn't just about the pass itself.
Regardless, the definition of having a hand in a goal is having a hand in a goal, nothing about the details. Chaplin had a hand in both goals - FACT.
You don't need to say "In fairness to the OP", no "fairness" is required. He described Chappers as "woeful in every aspect". That's just clear nonsense. | |

There's no defence for being unable to read and process any of what has been written by a poster and calling them out on something which is wildly off the mark just because you happen to have already made your mind up about them.
Pretty disgusting behaviour, and well worthy of an apology. |  | | |

You need to let bygones be bygones mate, you come across as having some cross-eyed vendetta against a poster which frankly isn’t healthy. |  | | |

I agree with that on Chaplin needing to be there to make that pass - from where I was sitting I thought the quality of his movement to get himself that space to make that pass to Burns was impressive - but you don’t necessarily see that from the highlights | | | |
| Chaplin on 08:17 - Mar 19 with 1022 views | sotd78 |
When teams play the low block it squeezes the space that the number 10s (and we play two) can operate in. On those occasions other players can often have better games.
Chaplin first half struggled to find the gaps but that opened up loads of opportunity for the wing backs and allowed both centre mids to play high. We pretty much swamped Shrewsbury first half. As McKenna said the dilemma then is how to create any real open chances. I think people have to understand what affect the low block has on the number 10 role. |  |
