Popular Post Owls2k Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 This rankled me in the first half today, was it completely necessary? Apart from the fact the whole team except Luongo, Kamberi and Hunt started the match as if there was a carbon monoxide leak I thought Shodipo hadn't done bad at all. We had some decent crosses from both sides today but I felt Gregory was just off the pace. Then he tried a cross, hits his man and goes out for a throw to us and people start chanting 'Theo', completely bizarre. Shodipo to me looks like he's lacking a bit of confidence, he caused their right back some real trouble in that first half and hopefully the goal will help him kick on. 38 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 He looked a different player after his goal. Seemed to get much confidence from it. So glad he looked happier and confident. Shame that he got subbed. Good luck son, we need you all on top form if we're going up with 100 points this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 All the more bizarre because he probably had a better game today than Corbeanu had Tuesday when he was being lauded as the messiah. I like Shodipo. A touch lightweight at times but if he fails at Wednesday I think it’ll more down to how he’s used, rather than a lack of effort or ability on his part. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Theo did well on Tues, but Shodipo also looked a threat in that first half, I just thought the Theo chant was completely bizarre! I think Shodipo isn't lightweight but tends to go down too easily, possibly relating to his confidence (trying to buy a foul rather than continuing to beat his man). He scored 13 last season in this league so I hope we get to see him at his best, but chanting that was completely uncalled for and actually pretty weird.

Popular Post Albertowl Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 Moronic. Honestly don’t think some of the North Stand chaps have two brain cells to rub together. Noticable that when the players walked off at half time, Theo made a direct line to Shodipo to congratulate him on his goal. Well done son. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a kid 19 years old Theo has such an impressive head on his shoulders, what a guy. Great attitude. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 To be fair, it’s Shodipo’s fault for having a name that’s too tricky to make into a monosyllabic chant. Theo has him on that count… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesWalker Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 The chanting was in bad taste but other than his goal I thought Shodipo was poor. corbeneau wasn’t much better when he came on. mendez-Laing however looked a real threat. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 100%. Shodipo was poor...rarely tried to beat his man, get at the defence, slow moving the ball when he got it. Other than the goal, he contributed very little. 90% of games he's featured in he's be the same Theo wasn't involved today, bit he didn't get much time to do so. He's had far more impact on more games in less amount than Shodipo has Mendez was surprising. Very direct and was very good to see. Hopefully it's not a one off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I wasn't overly enamoured with Shodipo in the first half, but he did improve once he got his goal. Chanting Theo, Theo like a bunch impatient children is just that and somewhat counter productive imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash77 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Shodipo wad directly involved in both goals by scoring 1 and assisting 1 so have to say it was right decision in hindsight to start him. Scored 13 last season, had a good goal disallowed earlier in season so think there's more to come from him, plus theo can't play 90mins every game, wing back is a tough position mileage wise. Rather have theo and shodipo sharing game time than johnson and brown tbh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Nick Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Why's it have to be one or the other ? It's nice to have options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I love Theo and imo he should have started the game, yet another stupid decision from Moore. However people chanting Theo at Shodipo is just a bit strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodipo can add value to this team and today will help. You would think our fans would support him but a few morons obviously decided to go the other way. Hopefully he ignores and builds on his first goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nile Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I would have started corbeanu personally especially at home am I the only one who found this a strange change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirstys_achilles Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I think it was probably mistaken identity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
