TLOD V Shrewsbury

[foxbat]

come on lads  don't let Cotterill pull this off. a draw at least!

[jm291]

As above would take a point. Shrewsbury defended well but we haven’t made it hard for them

[essexrover]

I will be soooooo disappointed if we lose this, especially as things have been going so well lately.
Come on Rovers !!

[drfchound]

It’s starting to look unlikely.

[adamtherover]

Still got a game in hand on pompey,  excellent December overall...

[sha66y]

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

[drfchound]

Ben giving the ball away plenty tonight too.

[jmt23]

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!

[Guernsey Exile]

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.

[dknward2]

At least Darren Moore won't win manager of the month now.

Players looking tired now

[godlike1]

Always thought this would be a difficult game but we've not helped ourselves

FT

[BobG]

That'll be Hull, Lincoln and us that Shrewsbury have beaten in 3 consecutive matches....

[drfchound]

How many times has a result like that happened to us over the years.

[Wiltshire Exile]

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.

[jm291]

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

[Filo]

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

[foxbat]

Happy Christmas Shrewsbury,  from all at DRFC
( insert superlative/ expletive of choice )
DISAPPOINTING!

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Seen that performance too many times this season, same weakness still there isn't it?

[SydneyRover]

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.

[Metalmicky]

Yep you're right all descenders - we are shite... only 4 wins in December

[Lesonthewest]

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?

[EasyforDennis]

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.
