[Donakebab]

Huge tonight. Shiel of old winning the hard ball, good defensively and tidy disposal.

That's the bar Dylan.

 

[Petrify]

One of the only positives. Best part of his stats was the 10 tackles.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Excellent game tonight.

 

[biglaycock]

Great game, worked inside and defensively.

Must be a great feeling breaking out of a stoppage and seeing no one in the forward 50

 

[eth-dog]

Best on for us by a street

 

[citizen-erased]

Shiel out - parishs best year
Parish hobbled - shiels best game.

Shiel out - parishs best year
Parish hobbled - shiels best game.

Shiel was huge in the first while Parish was moving fine.

 

[citizen-erased]

Shiel was huge in the first while Parish was moving fine.

Thought parish was off though.
I dont think both can play the same midfield

 

[Keystone agony]

Yep awesome tonight. Watched his defensive running more than anything and tended to keep 5m defensive side of his mid really well

I certainly didnt think hed buy in after the media thrashing and dropping. Thought he would drop the head and just meander away

Made mention i was impressed he was leading in the discussion between Parish and Heppell last week aswell

Hes invested

 

[JT_the_Man]

Not done yet it appears!

 

[VelvetSledge]

Really excellent.

Great game.

 

[windyhill]

Well done Dylan , only positive on a shocking night.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I said this in the game thread but don’t want it to get lost.

I was sitting with Jade and his missus, just prior to the Shiel goal, me and his missus said he’ll kick it, Jade said he wouldn’t and pledged to get a Shiel tattoo on his arse if he did.

Just recording it here too for posterity.

That was 2019 Shiel. Great game.

They need to interview him more often

I think he’s lying.

Prove me wrong.

 

[ant555]

Shows just how good he can be when he is not taking the piss. All comes down to attitude.

 

[Mikevk123]

He’s back. Good to see mate.

Poor bugger is hurting.

Got to be good for his trade value.

[bennyg12]

1 good game doesn't deserve a heap off praise for a bloke on 800k a year .

 

[andleanback]

Best game for the club imo
10 tackles was the best part. So he can do it…
