Just looking at the match stats on the Beeb, we only managed nine shots on goal for 76% possession (Shrewsbury had five efforts on goal, three of which were gifts from us). I know Shrewsbury defended so deep they were practically in the stand, but we lacked intensity throughout - with the honorable exception of Sam Austen, who really tried to make things happen whenever he got on the ball.

Through a combination of our clownish defending and Shrewsbury’s negative tactics, it was a very frustrating game to watch. It all felt a bit Burchball or Ardleyball at times.
