I didn't think his 500th was this soon?

Few more changes than I expected but good to see Wright given another shot. Hope it pays off.

Aaaaannnddd cue the usual comments at 17:00 when he’s run his blood to water, got the shite kicked out of him and not scored.

It is not Copps 500th - it is his 496th appearance in the League for DRFC

Mabe his 500th 'start' for DRFC in all competitions?

Watching on Ifollow. We look like conceding EVERYTIME there is a corner/set-piece. Referee has told Wright to go off for blood twice at key times during the game, and with Butler off we look extremely vulnerable.

Shrewsbury aren't spectacular, just so much more organised than us and working better as a unit.

I’d sum up our first half in one word ... Tame.
Very vulnerable at the back, snails pace going forward and totally lacking in ideas on the few occasions we got in or around their box.
Need to up our tempo considerably to ‘tame’ the Shrews
Title: Re: Shrewsbury v TLO Doncaster
Post by: eastender on January 20, 2018, 04:01:11 pm
They should be out of sight , their back four are playing in midfield because we are offering nothing in their half, they are quicker to every second ball.
 DF has to change things this half , we might as well play to up front and put them on the back foot.

I assume you mean the 3rd injured player was Wright?  He played all game didn't he?  Nowt was said on twitter by the official feed or the journos to say Houghton was injured so the conclusion is that it was tactical..

Butler and Ben Khemis, we'll wait and see..

Total turn around second half ... we were dominant most of the time. Shrews were hanging on. Special praise for Alfie Beestin who I thought was superb. Very physical game which we only got to grips with and matched them in the second half.Only second guessing but  the injuries probably not as bad as they looked.

The thought of history repeating itself can sometimes be very frightening.

Twos year ago, about this time, we came from 0-2 behind to draw with Gillingham in a match we suffered many injuries  :ohmy:

I do think we are much better two years on, but if Butler is out for some time we must replace him.

In this game it was simply a case of, if we were able to defend set-pieces I thought we'd have won the game quite comfortably. In general it might be a different question.

It's now that you realise how many headers Butler wins cleanly.

Sorry but we concede from set pieces when he plays. It’s something we’ve been guilty of for sometime

I agree. Sounds like our two main beefcakes are off the pitch for both goals.





I am not surprised that we concede from set plays when Butler plays.

All teams concede from set plays whoever is in the team.





Looking at the highlights it appears to be Blair who was picking up the player who headed down for the first goal.

It’s worth noting that Wright was off the field getting treatment and was ready and asking to come back on before they took the corner but the officials wouldn’t let him back on.
This happened earlier as well when the ball was out of play and both times he wasn’t allowed back on until after the game had restarted.

Is this just the ref being a dick or is that what the rules state?

Yeah, I read that on the thread earlier (Wright being off the pitch).
Some refs seem to allow players straight back on and yet others make them wait a while.
Would there have been an opportunity for the ref to let Wright back on before the corner was taken?

Yeah, without doubt. Fergie was going mental with the Lino and 4th official and the ref looked over before turning back and instructing the corner to be taken.

I was  one of them that thought we wouldn't get back into it.

I'm glad we did and huge respect to the players and Fergie for the changes and for not giving up. We need to take the positives and we could get all 3 points on Tuesday

I expect when you're sat at a game and we go 2 or 3 down you exclaim with happy confidence "no problem this lads, we will win!" every time? Fair play if you do, but it is human nature to see such events and expect it to end in defeat and disappointment, because the odds suggest at that stage that it will. It's lovely to come back and get a draw or even a win but it is rare and so we're all doubly pleased when we pull it off. The only negativity I've seen on this board since 5 o'clock yesterday is you with this in here and one other poster on the main board criticising fans for the same thing.

Short version: stop picking fights with supporters for being perfectly normal and typical football fans during the course of the game.

If you mean me, I don't have an issue with someone saying words to the effect of "we're not likely to get anything out of this game now " or "we're going to struggle to get back into this one" when we are 2-0 down away from home..  Comments like that make sense and are reasonable..

Saying "game over" going 2-0 down on say 85, 86 minutes, is understandable.

But "game over" - at 52 minutes - is a step too far IMHO.
