Tonight’s team:
-
It's a terrible bench. Opportunity for some youngsters at least but shows the task the club has.
-
Bingham on the bench!!
It just shows how wafer thin the squad is
-
Good lineup, 3/4 of bench good but as expected at the min lacking depth. Be reet whole bench not an issue and good experience for fringe players. I expect it to be different in next week or so
-
Interestingly Jason Cummings is on their bench, wouldn’t mind him on ours!
-

the word you are looking for is "veneered" :thumbsup:
just noticed Ebanks-Landell is in their squad big lump and he was brilliant for the blades a few years ago 2016–2017 when on loan towards the end of the season.
-
Probably our strongest starting 11 all season..

...or at least the strongest since New Years Day, when it was exactly the same.

Agreed, IDM!...but all people seem to moan about is the bench! :facepalm:
-
Ennis!! 1/0

Get in
-
Tame cross from Sadlier would be an easy claim for their keeper but a defender inexplicably tries to head it clear, drops for an unmarked Ennis to nod in from about 18 inches..
-
Thought Christmas was a fortnight ago but Shrewsbury have given us a gift there - break down the left, Sadlier crosses and a Shrews defender goes to head clear. Succeeds only in heading it up and over another defender and keeper to give Ennis an absolute gift and a tap on.
Anderson then almost returns the favour immediately with a poor back header but recovers well to tackle.
-
Great start! Now only 2 points off the play-offs! :woohoo:
-
Good afternoon everyone, great start in one of our in-hand games, the other being Bolton away.
-
And Pompey

Great start! Now only 2 points off the play-offs! :woohoo:
And only 10 points off top with two games in hand on Wycombe 😃😃
Let’s get this win tonight done

Well spotted, Ian!...but, as you say, let’s win this one first.
-
A bit scrappy at the moment teams not settled
-
We're sitting deep at the mo. Counter attack?

both me and drfchound have gone for a win and we have both got the last 6 results wrong so blame us if we don't win
-
cleared off rovers line very lucky
-
Anderson down injured
-
Lucky to still be ahead - Coppinger tried to dribble past someone on the edge of our box and lost the ball, fed out left and the cross was swung in and badly dropped by Dieng. Didn’t fall well for them though so cleared ok.
-
We're not looking good at all. Very sloppy, asleep?
-
For once Dieng dropped one bit it was cleared off the line..
-
Anderson back on by the way..
-

I thought it was Sheaf? Either way, very slack.
-
rovers corner
-
Sloppy is a good description but Shrewsbury aren’t really threatening..
-
Rovers rarely make it comfy viewing
-
it looks like it's windy? lots of loose balls both teams
-
almost own goal corner to Copps
-
A bit more composure in the last few minutes and we should be scoring.. over complicating things at times..
-
Some neat passing from us when we get going near their box, just a bit slack in other areas.
The radio Shropshire commentary on my stream is fairly good, balanced at least.
-
Got a link to stream?
-
They’ve kicked Taylor all the first half and got away with it
-
H/T
6/10 for me. We are winning and showing an attacking intent at times, but over complicating things, as well as being a bit sloppy at the back on the first 20 mins or so.
Sometimes it looks like they are trying too hard rather than doing the basics consistently..
-

Back in the thread.
V weak shot from Sadlier. We've been weak overall, they're not good but will get a goal if that continues.
-
Playing around at the back is a mistake waiting to happen
-
6 is generous. Two poor sides - it looks like a relegation end of season game. All our best players are in defence, except Sheaf, who’s overshadowed Whitman.
-
How many times do we have to get to the edge of their area with fancy passing triangles. To then. Resist the urge to shoot and try and attempt even fancier passing triangles within the area but lose the ball in a sea of bodies.. just shoot ffs..
-
6 because we are winning Alan..
Sharpen up a bit, all over the pitch and we should win still.. as much as we could concede, so could they..
-
Sounds like the early SO'D days.

Though the passing is poorer.

Good commentary team on Ifollow anyone know who it is?
-
Ennis one on one cleared over the bar copps corner
-
Pressing a bit more this half..
-
According to the BBC website:
Attempt missed. Joe Wright (Doncaster Rovers) right footed shot from very close range is just a bit too high. Phew!
-
Yes, looked like he was trying to toe it over he keeper..
-

If only...!
-
Taylor is having a quiet game..
-
I see that the ref is a Bent One R
-
Anderson down in home box got elbow in the face, back on his feet now
-
Taylor is having a quiet game..
Anytime he or Copps gets near the ball they are kicking lumps out of them. I would take both off only we don’t have anyone to bring on
-
That was excellent from Ennis in the build up to that Copps miss. All the way from our box. Impressed.
-
Ennis battling hard, sheaf much better this half..
-
How we doing in the second half? Going for another goal, or holding on to the lead?
-
Definitely pressing and scrapping more..
-

The games more open as they are in effectively going for it. Some neat moves from us, just not got that pazzazz to score. I think they'll get one
-
2-0

Anderson

From a corner too, near post header in off the far post..
-

Phew ! Thank f*** for that......

Who are they? Us or them?
Hang on it’s us! 2-0! Yessssss!
-
V good goal that. I'd like to think it was a training ground move... :scarf:
-
To be honest we have been better this half and looked the only side like scoring, so far..
-

They is them ;)

Gomez on for Copps

rovers corner, play settled down
-
Shrews unlucky not to get a goal tonight Rovers get the rub of the green but just edging them out

That’ll do for me, SydneyR!

It doesn’t look that way on the BBC Sport stats. Shrewsbury only three attempts at goal and none on target.
-
Eh.? Apart from when Dieng dropped it on the line they haven’t threatened..
-
Rovers have been well on top this half..
-
yep we were more settled in 2nd half we cleared off the line in first half
-
Finished 2-0
-
Finished 2-0
I’ll settle for this score.Another clean sheet...have it!
-
At least the forum will be a nice place until dinner time tomorrow.
-
woo hoo that should give us 11th spot I think
-
Short corner near the end... :facepalm:
Good win, not brilliant.
-
Well done and well done to the 7054 who made it tonight.
-
Shrews were absolute garbage
-

Are you sure, Nudga? Don’t bank on it! 🙂
-
2 points from the play offs with a game or two in hand over most.. equal third best goal difference too..
-
7/10..
Comfortable won in the end and a better second half.. still some way off our best but hard earned and restricted them to zero shots on target..
-
As the commentator said Anderson was head and shoulders above the rest
-
Nowhere near our best but we are looking very assured at the back. Good win, let’s look to improve our attacking play at the weekend.
-
Shrews were absolute garbage
They have beaten Portsmouth, Peterborough, Sunderland, Coventry and Blackpool so far this season - and drew with Bristol City in the Cup on Saturday - so they can't be that bad.
But hey if you don't want to give us any credit...
-
Shrewsbury looked ok in and around midfield but our back 4 kept them at bay relatively comfortably I tbought..
-
As the commentator said Anderson was head and shoulders above the rest
Looking at the bottom of that screen shot,Conor McCarthy signing for St Mirren,is that the lad we tried to sign,but our estimation of value was less than what Cork wanted?
-
Wilts - were you there? Comfortably, the worst side I’ve seen this season.
-
Did dieng actually have a shot to save?
