  • Very ordinary half. TC the main threat, I've been impressed with his movement, as he's finding some nice pockets of space .
  • Typical Shrewsbury performance! Ainsworth planning his smash and grab !! If only we had a creative midfielder 😝 we just need to keep at it and the goal will come I’m sure. Miles looks miles off it first half hopefully we are still 0-0 when chucks gets on to create his mayhem 
  • Shrewsbury are absolutely hopeless. The only way they will score is from a corner or free kick.

    We are totally on top. Playing some OK football but, Campbell apart, don't look like scoring. Leaburn just having one of those days and looking well off it.

    Hope Jones doesn't leave it too long before bringing Aneke and Godden on.
  • Barely awake, may need to go get a coffee so that by the end of the next half, needing a wee will keep me awake
  • Shrewsbury look very poor - no final ball when attacking. Lots of possession for us but zero threat.

    Our corners are dreadful as are most of our freekicks. Have to do better.

    Zero entertainment so far.
  • A lesson in how to dominate without ever looking like scoring 

    Absolute abomination of a game.

    Special mention for our completely shite set pieces, how many times have we floated a ball into the box and given Blackman an easy catch?
    Makes me laugh the set piece coach jumping up every corner shouting instructions, only for every ball to be straight in the keeper hands 
  • Miles can be really frustrating.  He will make a play that displays his talent and then go twenty minutes where he loses every battle against smaller defenders and not pressing or giving much effort.
  • Has the commentary died?
  • Well butter my crumpets, a goalless first half…

    Yawn 
    ‘Butter My Crumpets’ might use that on the Names of Bands thread.

    Or is there a silent T in crumpet?
  • Has the commentary died?
    Possibly lost the will to live after watching that first half.
  • Very laid back half with all the possession but no cutting edge. Small marked very tightly but TC shining. If we can get Chuks on alongside Miles we could smash them but not sure Jones will go for it yet.

    We need a goal otherwise they could undo all of Tuesday's hard work.

    COYA
  • At the game. They are a poor side, we needed an early goal but we dont do them very often. TC and Small the danger men,Leaburn,Mitchell and Gillesphey poor. This lot are there for the taking. Not sure what our set piece coach does all week,dead ball delivery is so poor.
  • The 2 things that stand out are the lack of a quality midfielder to thread the ball through. Plus that Leaburn is not a target man, you can confirm that with the look on his face when he loses each header.
  • Shrews players back out.
  • Kind of game where it feels like we don’t need 3 CBs on.

    I know it’s our system, but all they’ve had to do is pass side to side. What I’d do for a Bielik type player in this side.
  • And here comes your home side ...

    Charlton Athletic!
  • Has the commentary died?
    No........H/T.

    Sounds like there will be some old hands returning here for the Huddersfield game, JJ, Pringle, Jenson and The Herminator due to be here, could be interesting catching up with them all...
  • Shrews kick off.
  • Was Methven in charge of the music at half time? Sounded proper ravey through Charlton TV.

    I know we need some new signings but that is taking the piss!
  • Watch us go down 0-1
  • Shrews kick off.
    Let's hope they have to do it a couple more times 🙏
  • Coventry wins a challenge midway in their half after a late challenge - Got away with it really, as we werent going anywhere with the ball
  • Run down the left by Edwards, his cross cut out for a corner.
  • Now Marquis wins a FK for Shrewsbury, not far from the same spot, after our own set piece comes to nothing.
  • ... which almost came to a goal!!

    Corner to back post, towering header by Miles, keeper saved well down by left post for another corner.
