My view of Shacks...

is that he's a much much better player than Fleming but needs careful coaching as he's far from the finished article.

The reason I thought Flem had a better game TODAY( recently shacks has been much better) is that shacks gave away so many free-kicks. This may have been more apparant watching on TV. Basically every time plymouth hoofed forward a clearance/goalkick when the ball came down shacks had his hans of the plymouth stirkers houlders using him as a lunch pad for the header.
This gave plymough numerous free-kicks in semi-dangerous positions- not right on the edge of the box where its v.obvioud but halfway betwen the box and the halfway line. In the ground you don't tend to notice this but watching on TV it made me wince and I expect Shacks to get a bollocking from worthy about it.

Don't get me wrong he's a much better player than Flem and these mistakes are easily fixed but they have to be fixed.

As for Lisbie - great potential yes. Great runs yes.
But what did he do in sveral good positions - fall over.
I'm hoping thats rust and if thats the case we have signed a diamond - if not welocme home Dareen Beckford.
