There can be no doubt Shrewsbury are currently the surprise package in League 1 this season, in the pre-season prediction most have predicted a bottom 6 finish and I think there was a 15th place prediction.
Understandable I suppose but I think I am correct in saying that most Shrewsbury fans...
I've looked at the goals closely and whilst you have to put Gilkes at fault for the first goal I can't see how he can be at fault for the second. Also a great tackle won us the ball in midfield that led to the second.
Wins against Wigan and Scunny are decent I think and Blackburn scraped a late equaliser, I would also say Southend will rise up the table as well, can only beat what's in front of us
Hurst might well find himself going to a bigger club like Sheffield Wednesday, lets be honest Rotherham are still small fry even if he did make a hatful of appearances for the club.
Thinking about our pre season prediction conversation I must admit I did not think Shrewsbury would be 17 points above Gills after 9 games. There is a long way to go yet.
I think most Shrewsbury fans went into this game , myself included, thinking we would be happy with a draw. We know we are due a defeat sooner rather than later and this might be the game.
That said i left the game feeling it was most definitely 2 points dropped. Blackburn Rovers supposedly...
Either way it is nice to be 3 points clear at the top and know we will still be in the top 2 regardless of Saturdays result. I am also hoping Walsall don't lose v Posh so that Whitney is still their manager for our away visit to Walsall in a few weeks time.
You may well, we will lose eventually, but if you do you will have to work for it.
Tough win against Southend tonight who battled hard especially 2nd half with the wind against us. I know they have players out and they are better than the 6 points they currently have.
Not that long ago when Wigan were perennial strugglers in the 4th tier and did well to get 1600 fans at Springfield Park until Dave Whelan came along. I remember standing on that grass bank at the top near the shed when we won 5-2 in a League 3 match back in 1994.
Will be interesting to see if...
