The last 2 games have summed up the season in that you just don't know what amount of effort is going to be put in game to game. Big summer ahead.

Think I'll be watching out for the Burton and Cheltenham scores rather than our game on Saturday

A totally unexpected point but absolutely vital. Almost mathematically safe now. Considering Anderson hadn't played since first week of January, largely left out of the squad since Hurst came in he was fantastic tonight. The whole team defended well. Took both goals well, and a couple of other...

This Shrewsbury team is so frustrating. We may still go on to lose this, but had they put the same effort in last Saturday as tonight we'd have got the better of Wycombe. 2 well taken goals, foul in the build up to Bolton's corner for the equaliser. Can't help but thinking there would have been...

Hurst said after the game yesterday that he fears what Bolton would do to us if we repeat that performance. Given our horrendous record in midweek games this year, and the fact that Bolton need to make up points and goal difference on Derby (not that it'll matter much with Derby's fixtures), I'd...

I think its 23 of the 43 games played that we haven't scored in either. And likely in most of those we haven't really looked like scoring. Hurst really not impressed by yesterday's "performance" and fearful for Tuesday if its repeated. Not going to fill the players with confidence, but most...

I haven't thought we would go down all season. It's now the most concerned that I have been. It's only Vale, Burton and Cheltenham not showing any form that is keeping that little buffer we have. The complete lack of effort today makes me question if we'll get another point. Moat of the players...

You and me both. One of the worst displays I've seen. No effort whatsoever. Wycombe didn't need to do anything to win. Was heading for a dull 0-0 before the stupid red card. And even then Wycombe only had 2 meaningful shots. What's happened to Dunkley is we've gone to 4 at the back. His lack of...

Not many boos round by me. Deserved his round of applause after the game. The only player with a Shrewsbury connection that deserved it after today's game.

We're supposed to have an option of another year on him, but fair to say he's probably one of the big earners and the Club are trying to get costs down. I'd definetly keep him if budget allows. Think he is best suited in the middle of a 3 at the back rather than 2

We signed Benning from Port Vale once Nurse was ruled out for the season right at the start of the season. Was initially cover for Shipley as a left wing back, but has become a regular. He's massively improved during the season and won our player of the month in January and February. Saying...

I agree in that I think most of the big earners will go in the summer given the accounts released last week. Not just the ones you've mentioned, but money will no doubt be saved with Bennett probably retiring and O'Brien going too. Marosi would be difficult to replace. Where would we be without...

I didn't see our game at Bristol Rovers yesterday, but judging by Hurst's comments of it was a League 1 game in name only, definitely not the quality, then it sounds like a thriller. Another "midweek" game where it appears we haven't shown up. Drawing our way to safety. Portsmouth, Bolton and...

Record loss of £3m for Shrewsbury for last year. Wages increased by £800k to just over £5m with a smaller squad, admin expenses increased by £500k and chairman putting in money for the first time in years to cover lack of Premier league money. Lots of rumours as to what may have happened as...

Don't get why footballers do it either. At least Udoh ended up "naturally" behind the goal the way he scored last week, but no point goading the home fans. Sam Smith did it at Shrewsbury this season. We had him on loan a few years back, don't think he scored for us ina pretty unremarkable...

I know you only see most teams once or twice a season, but the league table doesn't lie in Carlisle's case, worst i've seen this year (excluding us in some games). Saying that, as you say, the chance at the end of the first half should have been stuck away, but without seeing it back he looked...

Sounds like a Shrewsbury v Port Vale midweek game would be a cracker!

After tonight's 3-0 loss to Exeter, we've now played 9 midweek games in the league, scored 3 conceded 19, with Bolton away still to come. Excuses tonight are the red card after 6 minutes and then the clear foul leading to the 2nd, but Hurst was talking before the game about the difficulty this...

Another Tuesday night, another Tuesday where the goal difference is taking a battering

Foul on Benning for the 2nd goal that left the Exeter player wide open
