HT. We've had loads of possession without ever looking like creating a clear chance.

Very poor match, very disappointing, sloppy play all round for us for the goal.

Same old again, 74% possession, and no threat from us, if we are going to win this, we need to move the ball quicker in 2nd half, we are passing the ball so slow and very predictable.

We won’t play many teams as poor as Shrewsbury in L1, organised team, who will now just sit and play for 1-0.

Over to you RW, you need to work some magic during HT team talk.

The only thing that consistently counts is a shot on our goal, equals goal.

How often does that one chance decide the match. Got to find Kelman and Agyei and awful lot more.

We don't push the ball forward enough. Still too many sideways and backwards passes

Also, not enough balls to the front men

We are playing the worst team in the division, if we can't beat them, we'll beat no-one,& we'll be relegated

We have games against Stockport and Wrexham coming up so I'm concerned we'll have no points after six games and be adrift at the bottom of league one .

Tempo needs turning up
Shrewsbury will sit back, so we need to be more assertive from the start and get the ball wide and in the box quicker and force them back or into a mistake.
RW needs to grill the players and the players need to look at themselves and react positively.

Yes, we’ve had a lot of the ball but also loads of sideway and back passing

Casteldine & Oreily for Shrewsbury look 2 good attacking players, running rings round our defenders.
We can’t get the ball, chasing shadows.
We are really poor
Backward, sideways passing, no attacking threat at all at the moment 🤷🏻‍♂️

First time I had ever heard of this drink ''Poitin''

A drop of the Cratur: Poitín-making in the old days
In his latest Times past column, Jonathan Smyth looks at the history and tradition of poitín making in Ireland...

Good , at least . I'd now happily settle for a draw from this " mustn't lose game "

Yep, they look very good players,
Excellent save from Hemming
Meanwhile we’ve bought on some youngster called Pratley

We are making Shrewsbury look like Birmingham

Sweeney is having a Sweeney game
Heavy touches, losing possession
Can’t cross

Can’t wait for Currie to start at LB

We can’t keep hold of the ball, no one in midfield putting foot on the ball, or driving forward with the ball, every time we get the ball we lose possession.

This is really really poor.

Just shows what Idris meant to this team.
