    Don't get why footballers do it either. At least Udoh ended up "naturally" behind the goal the way he scored last week, but no point goading the home fans. Sam Smith did it at Shrewsbury this season. We had him on loan a few years back, don't think he scored for us ina pretty unremarkable...

    Sat 16th March fixtures

    I know you only see most teams once or twice a season, but the league table doesn't lie in Carlisle's case, worst i've seen this year (excluding us in some games). Saying that, as you say, the chance at the end of the first half should have been stuck away, but without seeing it back he looked...

    Sounds like a Shrewsbury v Port Vale midweek game would be a cracker!

    Tues 12/Weds 13 March fixtures

    After tonight's 3-0 loss to Exeter, we've now played 9 midweek games in the league, scored 3 conceded 19, with Bolton away still to come. Excuses tonight are the red card after 6 minutes and then the clear foul leading to the 2nd, but Hurst was talking before the game about the difficulty this...

    Foul on Benning for the 2nd goal that left the Exeter player wide open

    Relegation Dogfight Thread

    Interesting reading the comments of some of the Vale fans on another thread re their summer recruitment. That's exactly the same situation for Shrewsbury. Spine of the team are Cotterill's players, but nothing to back them up. To compound that, we didn't have a right back in the squad in the...

    Blackpool didn't have to play well to win comfortably at Shrewsbury. Took their 2 chances, we wouldn't have scored if we were still there now. The Blackpool keeper had nothing to do all game. Having seen an upturn in performances under Hurst, the last 2 games have been dire. The 12 points to 50...

    Lincoln were good tonight but we were dreadful. It shows with a couple of players out just how threadbare our squad is in terms of quality. Don't think we've scored a league goal away from home in midweeks this season, and that's the third 3-0 defeat without laying a glove on the opposition...

    Relegation Dogfight Thread

    One stat that wasn't on the list and just as telling is under Taylor we'd scored a pathetic 4 goals in 13 away games. Under Hurst we've got 6 in 3 games. The opposition now know that they will actually have to do some defending in home games against us. It's such a marked improvement in...

    I'm a bit more nervous than Floreat Salopia, but I also think we'll have enough to stay up. The problems we had in the first half of the season is when we were set up so defensively that we hardly created chances let alone score goals. To top that off when went behind there was more often than...

    League 2 General Chat Thread

    Thats one of the reasons that Cotterill left in that he wasn't going to work with the new structure, so I can't imagine he was going to work with it at Forest Green. Reason for the change in structure was supposed to become clear in the weeks and months that followed, but likely to be revealed...

    Tuesday 13th February - Fixtures

    We defended well but there were plenty of crosses into our box, particularly late in and Marosi made some good saves. TBF their keeper made a good save from Bayliss which would have killed the game off. Just felt that the equaliser was coming given the defending we had to do. I'm with you on...

    Tuesday 13th February - Fixtures

    Late penalty for Barnsley but no complaints. Definitely rode our luck throughout the game. Another point gained hut could have done with all 3 just to keep the gap to the bottom 4. Could do with beating Wigan Saturday

    The 3 at the back must be the vogue thing to do on all of these coaching courses for this new generation of managers and DOFs as Shrewsbury recruited for it too. Injuries to the only wing backs in the squad didn't help. Looks like Hurst is taking us back to a back 4, but we now have 6 central...

    Sat 3rd Feb fixtures

    Just to say the ref didn't cost us the game in any way but as you agree he was abysmal. It was the same ref as at the Vale game last week. Only had to breathe on players (both teams) and he'd give a free kick, Bayliss gets clattered plays on. Bloxham gets booked out of frustration for a soft...

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

    As Floreat Salopia says, would have had Ogbeta back at Shrewsbury. Raw when we signed him for City back in 2021, created lots from LWB. Wasn't the best defensively, but his attacking play outweighed that. Possibly part of the reason Cotterill let him go at the time. Got a decent fee from...

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

    Apparently we (Shrewsbury) had a deal for Adebomi last week once he signed a contract at Palace. The change of manager put the move on hold and apparently Hurst vetoed the deal. Still hoping on Nathan Fraser from Wolves who was at our game against Fleetwood. Then went to Dubai with the first...

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    If you just posted Hurst's managerial record since leaving us and blanked out the name, I can't imagine there would be too many shouting from the rooftops about the appointment. Obviously given his past success at Shrewsbury he will be given more chance than others, and there is a buzz amongst...

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    I admire you trying to talk up our play off chances last season, and injuries in a small squad did play a part, but I think our lop-sided fixture list gave us a false sense of hope for our top 6 chances. The run of wins in January and February were against bottom half teams. From March onwards...
