Tonight’s team
COYR
-
Same team isn't it?
Must admit, I was trying to be cool and calm about this one but prematch nerves kicking in!
-
One change JJ in for Cam Johns.
COYR
-
John down to the bench.
Fej and John-Jules both start.
Guessing James at left back and Fej out wide?
-

JJ in John out?
-
Reece James at left back? What is it with playing these players out of position?
;) :laugh:
-
Square pegs blah blah etc etc......
-
2 strikers? He's going for it I hope.
-
Is it not 7pm KO then? Sure someone said it had been brought forward to 7pm
-

Yep it's 7pm Ko and we are 2 up already................. total lie 7.45 KO
-
Have we played 2 up this season?
-
Andy butler, played 4,. Won 4,, you can't buy a calm experienced head like that...

Nope, you get em on a free
-
Could be JJ or Fej on the wing rather than two up front.
-
2 strikers? He's going for it I hope.
One of em will be on the right I'd guess, as opposed to two up top.
Edit; beat me to it Janso

I reckon it’ll be Taylor on the right and Fej on the left but could easily be the other way round.
-
What is Moore playing at, only one left back in the team.
-
Fingers crossed Fej scores the first one tonight.
-
Anderson on the left wing, Fej at CB, Whiteman in goal and Lumley striker?
-
Fingers crossed Fej scores the first one tonight.
And the last.. Hat-trick.?
-
Is it not 7pm KO then? Sure someone said it had been brought forward to 7pm
Fleetwood at home has been moved to 7pm kick off
-
Thus is a much more reasonable hour 8.00 would be even better haha
-
Anyone else feel like somethings coming. Like maybe this year it will be smooth and everything will be ok......like a 3 or 4 nil win or am I dreaming
-
Red and white stripes ffs
-
Players still taking the knee in our home games then.
-
Fecking buffering again...joke
-
Bright start, we’ve come flying out of the blocks here.
-
Commentator bingo has started. "thick and fast" has just had a mention...
-
Ifollow, bloody black screen again.
-
Ifollow, bloody black screen again.
since I started using chrome, alls good...
-
Fej goal called for offside - looked it just about. Shrewsbury have had a couple of corners and a long range shot not too far away in response.
-
No problems here, not had any all season apart from the Wimbledon game where everybody suffered.
-
Max Watters scores. Again.
-
See shrews already poking ball away as early as 5th minute
-
Fantastic run and ball across goal by Fej.
-
Fecking buffering again...joke
refresh
-
Fej is well up for this
-
Fej has got his mojo back, looks fit and hungry and very heavily involved so far. Turn and shot from the edge of the area after an excellent ball from Richards.
-
We must score first in this if not they will sit behind the ball all night
-
JT needs to improve his finishing.
-
According to the BBC Shrewsbury are well on their way to winning the foul count.....
-
Should have squared that!!
-

The usual Steve Cotterill tactics, eh?
-
This camera work is making me feel sick. Can hardly see what's going on and I don't get why the change from normal.
-
Summing up, how are we doing? Looking ok?
-
Where’s MetalMickey, goal announcer, when you want him? :)
-

Good tempo, good short passing, everyone is up for it..
-

We are playing well and in complete control but guilty of overplaying a bit at times and lacking a spark in the final third. Shrewsbury are a well-drilled, organised side and we’re struggling to break them down and create chances. Sims would make a real difference here.
-

Dominating the game against a team who are full in confidence. Really enjoyable to watch but as someone mentioned above I feel we need to score first here otherwise Cotterill’s shithouse tactics will come into play
-

Nah, he would struggle with that hamstring injury mate. ;)
-
It might need a decent shot edge of area in this. We need to get whiteman in that position a bit more to open them up.
Bar that we've had enough opportunities to be ahead, keep going we will win it.
-
John on at left back
JJ off
James moved forward
Need to exploit this left side
Apart from that we look very solid and industrious, fej is back to bossing
-
Yes, not doing much on left. Matt Smith not fully on it yet.
Plenty of running at them on right but final ball or shot not quite there but been close.
Keep doing the same but a bit more thrust from Taylor wouldn't go amiss.

This, for me. We're working the flanks well but every cross the keeper gobbles up or we're lacking in the box.
Get Ben or TR shooting.
-
BBC website not showing games in progress in the “as it stand” league table like they usually do.
-
Te BBC reckon we've had 9 shots to their 1. And not a single one of ours has been on target.
Fouls now 8:3 in Shrewsbury's favour. They're gonna win that...

Best 45 minutes from Fej in a long time

He was as good on Saturday. Been impressive tonight and in that game, good to see.
-
0:1

0:1
Oh, sh*t!
You’re sacked, MM!
-
Knackers
-
Gonna be really hard now.
-
Typical...
-
Needless free kick and a yellow for Richards. Can't say he wasn't warned and look at the end result
-
Plenty of time.
-
Felt like that was always going to happen, game just has that feel
-
Richards is a bit of a liability at the moment
-
Another stupid, needless tackle from Richards cost us again. He needs to cut it out from his game.

He's good going forward though. A bit jekyll and hyde really.

Or pay back at the other end.....
-
Amazing our one player who has been fouling got the deserved yellow but their team multiple fouls kicking the ball away get nothing.
Even when they scored they run in the middle to celebrate then one of their players started pulling them towards the corner.
Weak refereeing
-
Who's the Co comms? Sounds like Andy butlers brother?
-
Really struggling to break them down. They’ve come with a game plan which so far is frustratingly working
-
Just can't see us getting anything trying to walk the ball in need to unleash it from 30 yards the only way we will score

Cue tap in....
-
Daniels is a good player, he’s totally & mentally dominated Jon. I hope Jon gets a chance to run at him, just to make him think
-

Yep and it worked at Hull and worked at Lincoln,hope we can crack the nut
-
Taylor not really been in the game. Really missing Sims already
-
JT off.
Lokilo on.
JT not had any influence on the game tonight.
-
This 2nd half is disappointing
-
Plenty of time.
We've not looked like we'll score all night. Look good up to 18yd box then nothing. Too slow and not enough movement
-
Smith’s been a bit off it tonight. I’d tske hom off and put Copps on.
-
I'm poised....
-
Copps coming on.
-

I'll take anything.
Shows what a difference having a week off helps
-
I'm poised....
We’re waiting.
-
come on lads don't let Cotterill pull this off. a draw at least!
-
As above would take a point. Shrewsbury defended well but we haven’t made it hard for them
-
I will be soooooo disappointed if we lose this, especially as things have been going so well lately.
Come on Rovers !!
-
It’s starting to look unlikely.
-
Still got a game in hand on pompey, excellent December overall...
-
We get corners and set pieces and I never feel we will score..
Yet
When we give away corners and set pieces I feel we may concede!
Not sure who I have little faith in at set pieces....
Would love to see an headed goal
-
Ben giving the ball away plenty tonight too.
-
Whiteman has been unusually poor today and is looking tired.
-

I think that you mean that it’s starting to look likely, (that we will lose it), hound.
Sorry!

Lokilo has looked decent

I was taking a leaf from BSTs book mate and posting something that can be interpreted any way I want it to.
-
At least Darren Moore won't win manager of the month now.
Players looking tired now
-
Always thought this would be a difficult game but we've not helped ourselves

FT

That'll be Hull, Lincoln and us that Shrewsbury have beaten in 3 consecutive matches....
BobG
-
How many times has a result like that happened to us over the years.
-
That'll be Hull, Lincoln and us that Shrewsbury have beaten in 3 consecutive matches....
BobG
And all 3 were away games, with the same score, Bob, 1-0.
-
Really poor 2nd half. Didn’t deserve to win but a point would have been fair. Shrews very organised but very sloppy from us tonight
-
Hugely disappointing, guilty of over playing it at times tonight, we were all over them for the first 10 mins until they got control of the midfield by out numbering us and winning every second ball
-
Happy Christmas Shrewsbury, from all at DRFC
( insert superlative/ expletive of choice )
DISAPPOINTING!
-
Seen that performance too many times this season, same weakness still there isn't it?
-
A professional performance from mthe shrews that frustrated us in the second half, we would have been happy if we'd had won like that, we had a couple of good chances that we didn't take.
-

What do you reckon that is, bfyp?...just asking.
-
Yep you're right all descenders - we are shite... only 4 wins in December
-
That'll be Hull, Lincoln and us that Shrewsbury have beaten in 3 consecutive matches....
BobG
So we should have learnt by now, they are a poor side, if we are looking to be top six we have to be better & street wise than tonight.
-

Inability to break down very defensive sides and create in a compact area. Wimbledon, Wigan, Shrewsbury, Crewe all examples of it. Not really outplayed at all but struggling attack wise.
It reminds me a bit of o Driscoll sides. We lacked an option to change the game and do something tonight. Be that some real flair or a different option eg a target man. Perhaps at times just a bit too technical and what's the plan b?

Struggled in midfield. 2nd half we just didn't play.

They just beaten us and two other top sides they can;t be that bad les

Fair enough, bfyp. I didn’t see the game myself, but your points seem valid to me.
-
To be fair, ...our lack of imagination at corners is not putting the fear of god into the opposition..I haven’t seen a won header for such a long time....... is that because of poor delivery or attacking position ?
-
Too many players off it tonight. Smith gave far too many passes away, Richards tried to do too much at times, and our wide players failed to exploit their wing backs pushing on.
First half we probed well but you have to create more when you are bossing the game. The free kick we gave away for their goal was silly and needless too. Hopefully Richards will learn from that and the Burton penalty. If he doesn't have that rush of blood we probably take a 0-0 and keep the unbeaten run going.
-
It's not like we can't break these sorts of sides down though. We've done it over the past few games. The other side just got the better of us tonight. No need for alarm.
-
We just kept on doing the same things that weren't working. Nobody attempted to carry the ball at all. Our match stat of zero successful dribbles summed it up.
-
Taylor was particularly disappointing tonight. One poster this week was comparing him favourably with Sims, I firmly disagree but declined to join that debate as I prefer to see the good things each player brings.
Tonight though my frustration has got the better of me, Taylor is great when he's in a foot race against a defender and running into space but put a man (or the goal) in front of him and he simply runs out of ideas and composure. Not singling him out for last nights defeat just adding my thoughts to the debate comparing him with sims.
