Any chance of that being revisited in Jan or is that more a summer one if we stay up? |  |

Lloyd Kelly at Juve? Could very much have been a rumour as that one never seemed to go anywhere but am sure at end window we were trying to loan Kipre out to get a Wolves CB in, was that Krecji? |  | | |

Wasn't that conditional on us expecting to get a fee for Philogene in the summer? Pretty sure that we reached our spending limit.
Only two weeks ago you were touting O'Shea for Player of the Season so far. |  |

I still rate oshea. Had a dodgy couple of games however. I do feel we need another cb if that replaces him fine it means they are better. But minimum we need a third option which isnt kipre or greaves. | |

All I know is that we are a lot better defensively when Davis goes rampaging down the wing when he had Greaves covering him rather than O’Shea.
I also like O’Shea but he is being shoehorned into the team. First at right back and now at left centre back.
I also dint buy into the view that we are conceding more goals because we are an attacking team. A lot of our goals conceded have come from avoidable mistakes rather than us being caught in attack. | |

Yes as we both agreed oshea or diop arent the best lcbs. Problem is both are better overall defenders than greaves.
Oshea is fine as a rcb. Not rb. Not lcb. Simply rcb.
But i cant believe hes 100% fit to play every single league game since joining ( according to the peacock commentators) surely like most players he needs the occasional break. | |

They swapped after the equaliser didn’t they? I noticed it at the time.

Google AI agrees.
During the 2-2 Premier League draw between Ipswich Town and Hull City, Issa Diop and Dara O'Shea swapped sides in central defence to counteract Hull's tactical adjustments after Tim Iroegbunam's 58th-minute equaliser.
Before the tactical switch, Diop had spent the season—and the first half of the match—playing as the right-sided centre-back, with club captain O'Shea stationed on the left. When Hull City leveled the score at 1-1 and immediately injected fresh attacking threat into the game, manager Gary O'Neil adjusted the defensive shape [Post edited 2 Nov 8:18]

Unless my eyes were playing tricks, I'm sure O'Shea played on the right side in the first half too.
This followed on from Diop saying before the game that he didn't mind playing left or right.
EDIT: it was this article from a couple of weeks ago that I was thinking about.

And apart from that 1 moment which was stupid. ( when hes effectively badly covering the lcb space) left by a ball chasing diop and zero left side cover
What else did he do wrong in the game? | |

He was on the right side from the start. Can see it in the highlights as early as the long range Enciso effort and even the build up to our opener.
Diop was on the left for their equaliser, that's what put DOS in such a pickle when he inexplicably tries to press on McBurnie 20 yards inside Hull's half. | | | |

The goal was a combination of factors, its not all on DOS. Diop over commits far too high up the pitch, so was Davis and too tight to his man. Not just a case of being wise in hindsight, there's just no need for it. They then have the freedom of Hull, at which point DOS has to be aware enough that the biggest danger is the ball carrier and cover the shot.
I wasn't any more impressed with the 2nd either tbh. Florentino got caught out as he did a number of times. He's good out of possession but against both Forest and Hull now he's looked really uneasy on the ball in dangerous areas. Lets the ball bounce twice in the centre circle while he's scanning over his left shoulder completely unaware Belloumi is there, then hacks him down on the edge of the box when there's plenty of cover there in DOS. Think Walton's a bit soft with it as well, there's only 1 side McBurnie can go with that. An absolute cluster of a 20 minute period. | | | |

Curtis Tilt at one stage solved every problem we had both on and off the pitch.
What a time to be alive. |  | | |

With Florentino and the second, I was screaming at the screen to get rid of it when he was robbed in midfield. You have a lot less time in the Prem than he seems to realise at times. Or he sees Palacios seeming to have all the time in the world when he's surrounded and thinks he can do the same. |  |

I thought that O'Shea had played on the right. Would have made absolutely no sense for O'Neill to swap them round. | | | |

Signing the injured Alan Judge was also a highlight.
No way would he have signed if he was fully fit during his Brentford days. | | | |

Brentford weren't the club they are now, they had only just established themselves in the Championship. As you say, If he had left them while fully fit, it would have been to the Prem. Hyam really messed him up, never the same player. | | | |
