Shrewsbury Town Post Match Thoughts

[Stovicmiller]

Very poor yesterday. Both Shrewsbury and mk results down to manager. He shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help or advise from someone like warnock.

Hindsight’s wonderful if you know what’s ahead of you, thing is none of us do. Who could foresee Grigg out for 12 weeks? Ladapo causing upset with a transfer request then out for 4 weeks with a quad tear at such a crucial time of the season? Kelly being more injured than we knew?

Onto what we do know. Kayode for all his heart and endeavour, simply ain’t our answer to our Centre forward line just yet. Big game yesterday but never got a look in.

Ogbene and Miller didn’t start yesterday because our physio told Warne if you start them they risk Hamstring injury. This is where Warne should have stood tall and played them Ala Warnock style over Frecklington.

Oggy gets a full second half and now he’s been called up for International duty so no rest for him. There comes a time when a Manager should stand tall and proud and make those key decisions and play his best starting 11 but, where was that Manager yesterday?

January transfer window? Same old Rotherham always the Scrooge of the league? Hindsight, it’s a bugger ain’t it.

agree with the above .

Be delighted to even though I have already sent them £50 in advance when i made the best earlier in the season ) i can prove this ( I have an email receipt labelled "Millers Mad Bet")

I know the cynics on here won't go for that so I will gladly donate another £25 ( even though I am not on a lawyers wages).

Maybe I was a bit brusque with how I raised the bet earlier in the season, which was an opportunity lost to raise money for our fantastic hospice. Be delighted to get a second opportunity

How do you want to do this Kerr, do you want me to PM you the receipt at the seasons end?

Alternatively could CAM set up a page on here where all digital receipts to the hospice can be filed?

I don't think I saw your earlier bet, but fair enough.

You don't need to send a receipt. I'm happy to take your word, if you'll take mine.

How refreshing. Trust. Be delighted to do it Kerr.

Awful yesterday. The players who haven't played for a while don't look sharp and the ones that have look knackered. Perhaps understandable, but what's harder to fathom is we seem to have lost the ability to control and pass a football.

It's always going to be hard with 10 men, but MK managed it pretty well a couple of weeks ago and looked comfortable. I genuinely counted the players half way through the second half. It was like Shrewsbury had 2 or 3 more than us. Eventually found ours camped out deep in our own half.

On to positives, we've got three weeks to get refreshed and sorted. We're 4 points clear and with gd MK need to better us by 5 over 7 games to get in front. If we were offered this position at the start of the season we'd have snatched your hand off.

Someone mentioned Warnock. Consultant for 7 games? I reckon he'd get us over the line.

I think it would be bonkers to play someone against medical advice. It would risk more serious injury that could render the player unavailable for weeks. The club also has a duty of care to its players. Ignoring that risks civil liability.

And word gets around about clubs that ignore the well being of their players. That would make it even harder for Rotherham to recruit.

You're on then. It's a useful reminder that they are far more important things in the world than catastrophising about football. On that basis, I will probably pay up if we are promoted too.

I was going to do the same Kerr. That is why I donated my earlier bet before the season has finished.

Still will be a bit of fun.

Hope I am wrong about promotion I really do.

.....and why allow them to go on international duty? ☹️
