Shrewsbury Town Post Match Thoughts

[The Hillsborough Miller]

Warne proves time and time again he cant handle teams that work out how to play against us he dorsnt have a plan b which the players are aware of their roles if it is used.
One dimension tactics
We never use midefield in first phases.
Injurys aside his team selection and subs have been dire.
We are paying the price of havibg a small squad.
Warne cant manage a large squad because he hates dropping players for bad performance.

We have been poor since accrington loss on boxing day

and defending a corner we never leave a player up.and warne said i dont know why wtfyet with cheio we have speed to break

[Ronners]

so why put them on in the second half ?

Correct. UTM

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

Correct. UTM

If kayode, fergie and ogbene are not 100% they should not be away on international duty, the club has the ability to withdraw them, if they go then the fitness argument is clearly a smokescreen or our manager is too weak. The club has to come first and the league before the cup final.

My days I’m devastated. We were top of the league, clear and looking good for at least automatic promotion. Now we sit in 3rd knowing the pigs are going to beat us in the play offs!!! If only we were in the auto positions 4 points clear of 3rd with a couple of weeks rest coming up to rest weary legs and rejuvenate the squad!!

Sorry lads but being as polite as I can, some of the posts on here are about as OTT as you can get!!!

Just remember, we’re not massive!!!

At the start of the season you would be delighted with that, if at HT against MK Dons we were told that we wouldn't be delighted with that. For me the issue is form, belief and momemntum at the moment we are not in form (2 w, 2d, 2l the last 6), we do not have the momentum that is with MK, Plymouth, Oxford and Wigan and there has been little evidence that in the last few weeks that we still have the belief in the players or the management. I don't think 3 wins will get us up, I think 2nd place feels like a high 91 points but you never know with football. What i think we can all agree on is that, we have to play our best 11 and we have to improve our current form.

PW set himself up to be shot down by that team selection to start the game.
As has been said already on here, if Chieo and Miller had hamstring problems then why were they even on the bench let alone allowed any game time?
The performance went flat after around 15 mins because I thought we started the game well, and just before they scored their first goal, we had an absolute stonewall penalty turned down by the referee when their defender hauled JJ to the ground as he was chasing a ball down.
After seeing the sending off on Quest, what is McDonald supposed to do when he has jumped and headed the ball before making any contact with the player, it's not even a yellow in my eyes but then again I dont think we'd have got anything out of the game with 11 men as Shrewsbury were dominating play, and were already a goal up, at the time of the sending off.
Second half was awful, there was no pressing, very little football and I kept looking at PW expecting him to be animated that we weren't pressing them but he was just stood there, as if we were doing the right things. However, I firmly believe in this squad we have and we are plenty good enough to get over the line, so let's all get behind them and get one of those automatic spots. UTM

IBS and Wendun,bessie mates,you make a lovely couple 💑.

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.

Neil Warnock did exactly that 'risking' Frecklington for our all time great escape........we all know what happened then don't we. There's listening to advice but sometimes your judgement must be braver.

IBS, care to match my £25 seeing how you're so sure we won't go up? Either way I'll send the £25 even if we go up.

Yes it does make Warne look an idiot if they play doesn't it?

I agree, but if we had stopped them from going on international duty due to injury, would that mean we would be obliged to play the league match scheduled for that weekend? because it wouldn't look good if we said they weren't fit to play for their country but ended up playing for us? UTM
