That could well be us if we have to play Nsiala and Pierre as a centre back pairing for any length of time with both Feeney's injured. Rossiter feeling his knee prior to the game meant that we set up against Peterborough in 4-1-4-1 formation which for the first 10 minutes looked ok, but then...

For balance I didn't think the ref at Stevenage v Shrewsbury was any worse than the usual League 1 ref. The pen may have been a bit soft but my initial reaction was a penalty when I first saw it. We wouldn't have scored had we still been there now. It just reinforced my belief that we're in for...

Will be completely wrong but here goes! A lot of people have Shrewsbury down for relegation this season. Being realistic I see a tough season for us too, and would bite your hand off for 20th. The hope is we can be solid enough and pick up enough points. We just can't compete with the money...

Given the cost cutting measures, 20th or above will be a successful season. Without external investment we're not going to compete any higher than the lower reaches of this league. Cotterill's big wages signings and a period of other high costs has blown the rainy day fund. Going to rely heavily...

Heard a few weeks back the Bradshaw to Wrexham rumour. Coupke of other league 1 teams were also interested. Would be a good signing for most teams at this level. Scored goals as a youngster for Shrewsbury before an alleged error with the contract offer meant he left on a free with no...

Doubt I'll get a ticket. Used to do around 15 away games a season but can't do that with a young family for now. Surprised if it's not one of the Sky games, not the same as going tho. Crazy that game was 21 years ago!

As you say, the cup game was a nice warm up. First league fixtures since 2008, hopefully they'll be on the fixture list a lot more regularly. Our other local "rivals" are also a way down the pecking order. I can only recall going to the Racecourse for a 3-3 draw in the year we went down to the...

You've missed Shrewsbury (a) in your awful month of December.... (some welcome respite from those fixtures) From a Shrewsbury perspective, first time I'm a good few years that we're at home on boxing day. At the moment can only see a season of struggle. Good to see Wrexham back in the fixture...

Bit late to this but have to agree. Dunkley was solid in the centre of a back 3. When moved to either side of the 3 or put in a back 4 seemed to be exposed when the ball was played on the floor. Not many would beat him in the air. Would be a very good signing for league 2. Will chip in with...

I've heard a similar rumour this end. We offered him another deal, but given the alleged overspend in the Cotterill days it's likely the deal would have been on less favourable terms. His form fell away at the back end of the season when we switched from a back 5 to a back 4 which exposed his...

I think probably more Taylor's level at the moment. Nice guy but is of the new breed of academy coaches who stick to a philosophy no matter the circumstances of the game, with no plan B. Seemed a but of a left-field appointment at the time given his record at Walsall in league 2. In his favour...

Wouldn't surprise me to see Marosi sign for Wycombe. Was in a car pool with Leahy at Shrewsbury, could have it going the other way. Fantastic shot stopper, but distribution may put off teams higher up

Decisions were made in the week and the players told. Can tell Marosi won't be signing a new deal by the way he was applauding the fans before and after the game. Can't see Dunkley signing either. Probably not the best time to tell players before the final game given the way they played for 70...

No not heard anything on the Moore thing either. Not popular at all our end though and hard to see how he fits in with Hurst as manager.

We were hopelessly outclassed until the Orient changes. The silly thing is if it wasn't for 2 outstanding saves from your keeper we could have stolen a 3-3 draw! Ageyi looked very good. As you say, teams will be very different, especially given our retained list announced after the game

A dead rubber to end the season at home to Orient. Expect this to be the last Shrewsbury game for a number of the squad. Imagine the out of contract big earners from Cotterill's time will be let go, along with some of the cheap gambles from last summer that Hurst doesn't rate. Should hopefully...

Club have announced that the buses are running from the bus station to the ground at 10:45 and 11:45 Saturday. Not sure on heading back

And likewise Shrewsbury at Exeter at a weekend. My wife's got friends in Exeter who we would stay with for a weekend game

Going slowly is max half an hour from the station. As Floreat says, no more than 20-25 minutes really. I walk it most home games, usually encounter a few away fans walking up

Don't think I ever said it would definetly get overturned. Club appealed but it was rejected. He gave the ref a decision to make, which wasn't helped by Woods' reaction, much the same as the incident yesterday. Was pointing out that players overreact to get fellow pros into trouble.
