I think Ainsworth is based near Reading and was staying in a house in the town centre up here. His family didn't come with him. He was out and about in the town a lot and played at a couple of open mic nights in local pubs. Everyone bought into the positivity. He definetly would have been given...
Nothing official but local reporter says that Gillingham have met the release clause, they offered him a contract extension but wants to go.
Given all the talk of a promotion party and an exciting time around the corner with the takeover, it's not a huge leap to say any takiver falling through...
Most officials in this league are terrible. I'm not saying it just because it was Wrexham, just that it doesn't look good the way it was given and how long it took.
The Wrexham penalty being given totally undermines any respect for officials initiative. Whether it is right or wrong, it's only given because McLean argues with the linesman and convinces him to cha he his mind.
We had something similar at Bristol Rovers with a late equaliser disallowed for...
Based on today I can't see Burton staying up. The only hope they have is if Burrell stays fit. Bristol Rovers looked marginally a better team when we got a draw against them a couple of weeks ago
Another awful game of football at Shrewsbury with 2 poor teams. Burton winning with defensive lapses, but fully deserved their win. Burrell for Burton best player on the pitch by a mile, looks a real find.
After a positive run in February, we're going down with a whimper. Players simply aren't...
I think there will be a lot of people waiting to see if the prospective takeover happens. There's a growing groundswell of discontent towards the chairman, who doesn't have the funds to keep putting money in. Our CEO has already said the early bird money is likely to go towards the cash flow for...
11 point gap for us now and having scored in all bar 1 of Ainsworth's games up to the end of January, now only scored 1 penalty in the last 5 games.
Limited quality players have run out of steam after the initial upturn
Our CEO said at an online fans meeting the other night ours are going up to £415, a jump from £399 (or £375 for the early birds) no matter what league we're in. Doesn't say when they're on sale yet. Match day tickets also set to increase to £27. Randomly we've also introduced a new ticketing...
Our CEO did a business in football podcast recently. Said that the club will be looking at the cost benefit of the Sky deal at the end of the season. He said that Sky moving our game against Wrexham wasn't a big deal as it was always going to sell out as a derby. However, moving our game at home...
That won't bother us. We'll be trying to give you the ball so we can hit on the counter.
At least we're actually playing each other at 3pm on a Saturday for once!
If Wheeler starts he won't score in 90+13 as he'd probably be taken off by 70 minutes. Would snap your hand off for your prediction tho!
Wouldn't be surprised to see Callum Stewart the signing from Leamington given a start. George Lloyd looked knackered the other night and Stewart lively when...
Another point from the game last night, fair play to the Bristol Rovers captain for kicking the ball out of play during a minutes applause for a Shrewsbury club stalwart for the players to join in briefly, and the ref for allowing it. It prevented the potentially awkward situation from when we...
Shrewsbury have still got:
8/3 - Exeter (a)
15/3 - Burton (h)
5/4 - Cambridge (h)
18/4 - Wigan (h) appreciate not quite in bottom 8
21/4 - Northampton (a)
3/5 - Crawley (h)
Despite recent performances and results, that's why we're not quite out of it just yet. Still also got to go to...
No chance we'll be in the NL South, we're too far north for that being the only saving grace.
Dreadful game. Another one we probably had to win but didn't. Only positive is the clean sheet. Players are running out of steam as weve got no squad depth at all. Our fittest player looked the 34 year...
