Shrewsbury Town Post Match Thoughts

[Derbymiller]

We have been poor and rode our luck for weeks now, we have lost at home 3-0 to a team that until 2 weeks ago were worried about being in a relegation fight, we never looked like getting anything from that game in the 2nd half and that is one of the reasons why MK Dons will finish 2nd and we will finish 3rd or 4th, they have believe and momentum, we look like a team that lacks belief and can't take the pressure. They were down to 10 men away at the top of the league, they organised themselves well and created chances to turn it around, we looked very poor that second half, lost all our shape (again) and the chances we had were so weak. If we turn this around and go up then the management team deserve a lot of praise, but seriously in your hearts do you think they will? as for a few that say another season in League 1 won't be that bad, give over. If we were 7th or 6th then yes you would agree with that but we are still top and we had a very commanding lead, failure to take a top 2 place followed by playoff failure would hit the team and the club very hard. A team that was so clear at the top with 2 months to go that then bottle it, will suffer massive psychological damage, we have 6 key players out of contract chances are at least 4 of them will leave because they want to be in the Championship, our mangers mental state will be shot, it will be two seasons on the trot he will have failed to deal with the pressure and lead a team to an achievable target, you don't know whether our budget assumes a quick return or not, so we might never have a better chance than this. We need to regroup and sort this out and hope MK get a little nervous and lose a couple. As for the game today, the blame lies firmly at the managers door, awful team selection he got it entirely wrong and that is not in hindsight, lets hope barlasar gets fit he shouldn't be risked at wembley, it is not the time for sentiment now.

Thrown away by a ridiculous team selection. Everybody could see the obvious thing to do, start with our best XI and get more points on the board. Why leave Wood, Ogbene, Miller, Harding... on the bench. So they could rest before the 2 week break? Mcdonald has been poor since he came back, why start him? Warne has blown the title and put automatic promotion in serious jeopardy. Naive.

spot on leeds - our manager is out of his depth when the s-hit hits the fan - clueless and seemingly indifferenent with his arms crossed all afternoon. Something not right in the dressing room for me - the players look frightened. Someone on here said a few weeks back that Warne is a 'bottler' - they were right.

We enter the January transfer window in a position of strength…and look at us now. Pitiful.


Yes, we went to the top on January 1st, and where are we now?

Give credit where it’s due, they are are good side and outplayed us before the sending off ..no complaints

Oh go away you (fill in appropriate word). They are a mediocre side recently beaten by Plymouth, Oxford and Portsmouth among others. How do you think they would have done away at MKD or Wigan today? I'm sick of you apologists making excuses for a management team throwing a damn season away because they lack bottle.

twitch, that was me but you won't be popular on here agreeing with me even though I'm right. Warne has gone. I see it in his eyes and hear it in his words. But not what the boys want to hear. So as I predicted weeks ago we'll finish 3rd and lose in the play-off semi-finals.

That game was lost before a ball was kicked

Nobody takes much notice of what I say but after tues game I said Angus was at fault for their goal I'd have gone with Edmunds Green Ihiekwe Harding back 3 today. Warney he's got to appear to be doing the right thing in his mind he can't upset club he's loaned a player off but Tu tu why have we got him on loan offers nothing for us. Then as been said on here we've got a 2 week break why didn't Chieo & Miller start today? I'd say now odds against us getting automatic promotion whose faults that?

Well MK and Wigan are on fire and we aren’t...you have to give them credit though Wendun

Spot on.

Penny pinching in the January window is going to cost us, two players no better than what we’ve got fetched in.Our loan signings have been very poor & we are not the fittest team in this League no matter what P/W thinks.
