Appleton quote after the game "there's a softness about this squad that makes my skin crawl". Not mincing his words. Sounds like he'd bin off as many as he could, but still doesn't know if he's taking charge for next year.
Not much to say about today. Just can't keep gifting teams goals. That's...
We won't be back for a while without a takeover. The players have completely downed tools since Ainsworth has left (and possibly before). Problem is 13 are still signed on for next season
Pretty sure we won't be taking him permanently. In fairness I don't think he's done as badly as spme of our fans have made out. The problem is I can't work out what he's supposed to do. Most games when he gets the ball he tends to go at best sideways or generally backwards. I think he's looked...
The whole club needs a reset. The chairman wants out, a large proportion of the fans want him out and some investment. We've played defensive football for years and had the most defeats in the EFL over the last 5 years.
Would like to think the current top setup has enough to not do a Carlisle...
We have to win all of ours now and Bristol lose all of thirs, and hope the others in the relegation zone don't get sufficient points. It'll be confirmed Saturday that we're down. Improved first half performance last night but defensive errors and poor finishing let us down again
Well Saturday should be the day our league 1 run comes to an end. Must win all 5 of our games and hope Bristol lose all of theirs to have a chance. Won't happen
At least its over for us now, potentially next Saturday officially should we lose against Reading and Lincoln, or Bristol get a win next weekend.
Another terrible game. Cambridge the better of the teams, which isn't saying much. Goal came about with Blackman trying to pass the ball out...
You say that but you dampened the excitement of Hurst's home return last year with Lyle Taylor scoring a couple. Maybe the same outcome for Appleton's first home game?
Think we may nick this one in a not-so classic bottom of the table clash in front of a low crowd. It is the designated armed...
Scraped a 0-0 at Wycombe with our first away clean sheet in a year. However, for all the efforts at goal, Blackman was only forced into a couple of decent saves, the others were fairly routine.
Benning was lucky to stay on the pitch. Should have had a 2nd yellow for a handball when trying to...
The model that you've got over the border there is unique for the lower leagues of "English" football. Rob and Ryan are successful businessmen and have found the formula for you. As you say, getting sponsorship from Stok when they don't sell in the UK is impressive.
The test will be when you...
That's bound to be one of the indicators. Not covered himself with glory with the fanbase given all the promises of staying even if there was no takeover
Those figures for Bolton and Wrexham show just how far behind Shrewsbury are financially. No way we can compete at that level. Salary costs in our accounts for last season were £5.4m, half of Wrexham's and a third of Boltons. On top of that there has been further cuts to the playing budget this...
