O'Shea and Greaves 17:25 - Aug 30 with 1587 viewsportmanking

They just don't work together. They're both stoppers. You only need one of them and a ball player alongside. We never look like keeping clean sheets with them as a pairing. Which is not a recipe for automatic promotion. Whatsoever.

Architects of our own downfall.

Thought this for such a long while. O'Shea and Burgess looked decent together last year, as did Woolfenden and Greaves. But O'Shea and Greaves don't. Though can:t blame Greaves for whatever the F O'Shea was doing for their second.

It's true and summed up by a moment in the first half when Greaves came all the way over to O Shea for a header and ended up knocking in to him.

Both switch off for the long ball that causes the penalty. And don't get me started on O'Shea for the second. Game was in the palm of our hands at HT.

They both go to win the ball, none of them cover, no communication, but hey ho Greaves is such an upgrade on Burgess?

Don't start me on the penalty, that was pathetic. It seems that, all teams have to do against us, is launch long balls. I swear we weren't as susceptible a couple of years ago.

Greaves was supposed to be a silky ball-playing defender. He's terrible and a marked downgrade from Woolfenden who we're shipping out. Like McAteer is a downgrade on Broady and Matusiwa on Morsy etc etc etc.

Greaves is a bloody liability.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

I think Matusiwa looks really good now, and has room to grow.

Teams didn't do it as much in 23/24. They know now that they can rough us up.

I think we handled it better when it happened too - as we had experience of it from our League One days.

Greaves is very much a ball playing defender. Not sure what games you lot watch.

Now I know you shouldn't expect this from your centre half but he put in one of the best crosses of the match.

That aside, I thought he drove forward really well today, on the front foot and creating from the back.

I don't think he and O'Shea are quite working together fully yet though.

Honestly, I just don't trust O'Shea, seems to have an error/dodgy moment most games.

Summed them both up for me when
a,they both collide going for the same ball,resulting in one going off for treatment.
b,Greaves taking the ball out of Palmers hands resulting in a corner then another after that,
c,both at sea for the second goal.
No talking between them both and Palmer it seems!

Might as well try for two new centre halves before the window closes.

This isn’t football manager. Greaves and O’Shea are not a good defensive pairing.

I've up voted this, but not sure if trusted is the right word. I certainly don't think he is worth the money we paid for him, though.

Yet to keep a clean sheet despite playing weaker opposition than last year. On paper they should be a very strong pairing in this division, but just too many errors so far.

Rolling all of those into one comment has no credibility.

I'd honestly go O Shea and Woolfy with Greaves and Kipre as back up.
