All change again for us at Wigan, not all that surprising, apart from bringing in Jamal Blackman in on a short term deal and goes straight into the team. Savin not even on the bench, although his confidence is totally shot
Seems that long since we last kept a clean sheet!
Wigan away for us, need a win in any way possible to give a bit of confidence ahead of the busy festive period. Could end up totally dead and buried by new years day otherwise.
Not sure what Ainsworth will try. Shipley possibly to come back in...
He's alluded to that in interviews in that he can't fault effort but not much he can do if the quality isn't there. After yesterday he said he's going to have to change the way he sets up the team to what he's done previously as the players aren't up to it. Major January overall required, but...
Another comfortable defeat. Our lot have no fight once we go behind.
The Leahy programme thing was just embarrassing. They did the same with Blackpool and Ollie Norburn too. Also weird our fans chanting for Dan Udoh. Yes he was a good servant, but don't chant his name during the game. Do it...
We might be able to Nick a draw in this one. Wycombe are bound to have chances as our defensive players just aren't good enough. Pierre and Benning should be back for this, but no idea what Ainsworth will do with the team. Said after the Cambridge game that he can't fault the effort and it's not...
We manged to sell him to Burton for a fee. Came to Shrewsbury injured, had a spell in the team last November, scoring the winning goal against Reading and looked like he could become a bit of a cult hero. Then got injured again and didn't really play when Hurst came in.
Doesn't seem the most...
Ainsworth certainly has his work cut out. As you say tho, Pierre and Benning both suspended today. Of the back 4 today, Nurse has been out for 2 years and barely played, M Feeney 1st game back after injury, Ojo isn't a CB and Hoole has only come back into the team since Ainswroth came in. Less...
Ainsworth doesn't have the quality in the squad. What he can do is get them to give more effort. I saw more in the first half hour against Blackpool than anything under Hurst.
The problem with Pierre being out is that Nsiala will have to start. Any pressure on him and he'll give you a chance...
Back to reality last night following the Birmingham win with our defeat against Blackpool.
Outrageous wind assisted fluke free kick from inside our own half from Benning early on, the type you see in Sunday league where the ball bounces on the edge of the box and flies over the keeper. On top...
What do you mean fluke, the Sky commentator said it was a quality finish! Think it shows the quality of commentator on the Soccer Special these days.
(Of course it was a fluke)
Most of the stuff aimed at McClean is totally over the top and unnecessary and i dont condone it. He's entitled to his beliefs like anyone else. He's not totally innocent in some cases in that he goads fans just like some other idiot players. Last year at Shrewsbury in the cup early on in the...
On what seems to be the got debate about the walk to our ground from the train station, I'd probably say half an hour for a comfortable walk. I'm a fast walker and can get to the ground from the other side of town in just over 45 minutes, but take a few short cuts.
It's a shame that we had to...
As has already been said, police advice as to why it was moved. Same with Wrexham in January until Sky switched it to a Thursday night.
Will be a big ask for Ainsworth's first game tomorrow. Still likely to lose but hopefully see some fight in the team unlike the last few games and at least...
Ainsworth's first interview has given some belief to the fans that there is a chance of staying up.
On the face of it it's a good appointment, but as has been said elsewhere probably not a short term one. If he can inspire this group to at least give 100% effort for 90 minutes and stop the...
There are some that haven't forgiven him! The officials that day still havent been forgiven either as we missed out on automatic promotion that season. Best of the names mentioned for us. Were used to anti-football under Cotterill
