Seems in every game we look like the plucky underdogs in a cup game. Usually have a good spell, gift a stupid goal away (Nsiala or Pierre), run out of steam in the second half and the opposition see out the game comfortably. Every team look much more confident on the ball. Hursts subs rarely...

As Pilot below says, been chucking it down all day here, and still raining now. However, only had one game called off for a waterlogged pitch since the move to the new ground and that was due to a torrential downpour a couple of hours before kick off. Drainage is pretty good. If it doesn't rain...

We also have 2 called up ahead of Saturday. Hoole would have likely been on the bench given last Saturdays change of formation, but I'd imagine Pierre would have been starting. Not a huge loss but it means Nsiala would have to come back in of we stick to the same formation as Saturday. Advantage...

Hurst has a worse record for us than Taylor when he was sacked last season. No chance he's going anywhere yet as a) the chairman was desperate to have him back and b) can't afford to pay him off anyway

Rotherham absolutely there for the taking today for Shrewsbury but once again shoot ourselves in the foot and give away a penalty, although seemed very harsh (Sam Purkiss is a terrible ref regardless of the penalty). We just can't keep throwing points away. Only shots on target in the entire...

Sums up the game. So vital that we go a goal ahead, as I can't see us getting back into games. Taking off Sagoe Jr seemed an odd move as our most dangerous outlet throughout the game. Was at the other end of the ground so difficult to say on the penalty shout first half. To then take off...

I didn't think Hemming did too badly at Shrewsbury. The lad looked totally broken at the final whistle tho looking on from the home end behind the goal.

Similar to last week, if you score early you'll win fairly comfortably. We'll have to score at least 2 to win, as our defence is full of mistakes at the moment. If we can stay in the game and them get Castledine and O'Reilly combining then we may trouble you. Not confident at all!

It was certainly the chairman's call to ring Hurst back. He's largely escaped criticism as there are growing calls against the Chairman, and he DOF wasn't a popular appointment after the Cotterill going. There are a few murmurs against him now, given the team selection on Saturday and how poor...

Not saying that you never play well. Even your own fans have said that you've not played well against us twice and still won. Can only comment on the games I've seen. I'm sure you'll have a different opinion on Peterborough to me based on games we've played. They wiped the floor with us and...

I think it was taken well as 3-0 was almost expected beforehand. Once you scored early we weren't ever going to get back into it. We've simply not got the quality or finance to compete with the bigger budgets and teams in the league, sad as it may be. The hope is for 20th this season...

Wrexham haven't had to play well to be 3-0 up here. We're a limited team so can't keep giving goals away. The Sky commentator sounds like he's a fully paid up member of the Rob and Ryan fan club

Just thought that with it being an international weekend your overseas viewers may have been a factor, but police would have the final say. You're right about the last game, tho allegedly "football fights" took place on the Friday night in a residential part of Shrewsbury randomly. Nothing of...

Aaww be nice. We've missed you too!

Me too. Thought it was certain to be moved. Maybe to do with TV times for your overseas fans? You're definitely favourites. 2 call ups for us in Hoole, who is our only recognised RB in the squad, and Pierre who will be the only defensive cover on the bench, not that he'd be missed too much...

Sums up the Orient perspective well there. First half you knocked the ball around quite well but with the exception of Ageyi cutting in himself and hitting the bar created almost nothing. 2nd half for the first 20 minutes we took over and created a few chances. O'Reilly had a good effort saved...

Wrexham are seen as the big local(ish) rivals for us, as you say mainly due to geography, being one of our closest games at 30 miles away and the cross border thing. For the older generation Walsall is are rivals. Telford are the closest club but only shared a league with them in our conference...

Sky must be kicking themselves that they picked our game against Peterborough as a TV pick and not this mouth watering clash of 24th v 23rd where one "0" must go at the Croud Meadow. Already feels like a must win for Shrewsbury, just to get some confidence in what was always expected to be a...

Depends what you're after from Marosi. Not many better shot stoppers at this level, but distribution isn't the best. We couldn't afford to keep him. Assume he's still not signed on with anyone due to wage demands. Thought he'd be picked up quite quickly

Just his injury record suggests he can't be relied on. Winchester was the only midfielder that offered any sort of assistance to the defence today. It was so easy for Peterborough to walk through today. Admittedly they do have very good forward players.
