Matchday thread: Shrews v Rams

[MadAmster]

The stats (BBC) suggest they had both more shots and more shots on target, MA.

16 shots to 11. 7 on target to our 6. I would suggest all 6 of ours were as good as, if not better, than all but 2 or 3 of theirs. The two keepers performed excellently when it was needed. Theirs, more often than ours.

As for "dealing with their tactics", how often did we either not clear, or only half clear, the lumped in ball? Probably no more often than usual but it's been a failing of ours for a few years now.

Sorry MA, I think you missed my point which is much the same as mac’s. It doesn’t matter if we created as many or almost as many chances as the opposition...whether their keeper had a(nother) great game...whether we scored the game’s only (own) goal or whether everyone wants to beat us because we (along with Portsmouth) have the biggest reputation in L1.
All that matters is that we aren’t performing...we don’t appear to be improving...we’re falling further and further away from the top two and closer and closer to the bottom half of what is, imo, a very average ‘third division’.

P.S. Just got home after taking my car to a dealership adjacent to PP. Doubt there’s any problem with the pitch for tomorrow night but travelling in from the A52, anywhere else near the river and parking may well prove problematic tomorrow. Derbyshire is back to normal but riverside Derby is a mess.
