Romared Match Thoughts Shrewsbury Town v Barnsley

[animallittle3]

Back on the road where we seem happier and play our best football although I'm far from convinced this particular group is likely to have as good an away record as last season .

To be honest I'm struggling to start these match day threads because there isn't that much to say before the game actually kicks off , most of what I could say we've all said a thousand times .

[SBRed48]

As last season our away performances are keeping us in the upper part of the league.

W4 D0 L2

Wins at 21st placed Crawley and 24th placed Burton should mean a win is nailed on at 22nd placed Shrewsbury.

Tha just dunt know who's gonna start does tha. I'm all for utilising the squad but perhaps not on this magnitude where the team constantly changes. However, we must bear in mind that it's still early days for Clarke.

One thing I will say is that certain players are now finding fitness and form and we should stick with these to gain some momentum. Humphrys is starting to play well and gaining more match fitness as each game passes. DKD is finding his feet too in a Red shirt. Russell coming in has made a big difference but his match fitness isn't quite there yet. When it does, he's one of our best players. Young Gent is improving all the time too and impressing these last couple of games. However, I'd like to see Cotter back in the team to offer some pace which we lack.

Shrewsbury is a difficult place to go but they're struggling badly this season so I'm definitely looking at 3 points if that bloody defense can get it's act together

Yeah Humphry's is able to find himself free in attack. I like the look of Donkey Dick too.

I'm not too concerned about daft goals we concede because sooner or later Clarke will realise with Phillips, DKD, Humphry's, Cosgrove and Watters in the squad. Attack is the best form of defence.

I think sometimes we're dropping points not trough opposition prowess but simply because we aren't committed enough to out own principles.

Rant over lol. Have a great weekend and hopefully we'll bag the points.

Tha can't keep conceding stupid goals though. That's madness. I think there always has to be balance. If that defence had got it's act together this season we'd have had another 7 or 8 points on the board.

We have only 1 clean sheet in 12 league games. Trying to get success wi those kind of statistics is extremely difficult.

Earl suspended after his booking the other night.

Glad to see Watters and Humphrys starting together.

After the draw against Charlton the other night, 3 points is a must here.
