Not with performances like this we won’t
Very little creativity, never looked like scoring
And fans can’t blame Hemming this week

We have no one taking the ball off centre backs
We have no one in CM willing to drive forward and get the ball out to wide players
The wide players when they eventually get the ball either lose it or go backwards
Donley and Kelman got no service.
Subs made no diff when they came on
Basically it was an awful day at the office.
We were so poor. D look like a bottom of the league team.
No game next week, followed by Stockport and Wrexham.
It’s early in the season but we look in trouble already.
You’ve changed your tune. You always say I’m wrong. We are getting what the club deserve at the moment

I would like to share your positivity, but on that performance I cannot see it.

Feel like I was watching the euros on that description.

It was as bad a performance as I've seen in a decade.

That was painful listening, let alone anyone who was watching. What a shambles and in all honesty I just know why. Bitterly disappointing result from a bitterly disappointing team.

I’m struggling to to think of any positives to come out of today, plus I’m on a downer as I didn’t get Oasis tickets.
All in all a very 💩 day today!

It's not his fault . It's the board for not back him properly . They have let him down .

What a bloody joke, can’t use the excuse that we were beaten by a top club expected to be in contention for promotion.
It’s disgraceful the money spent or should I say not spent on players this transfer window, you can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear.
Can’t use the excuse that they haven’t had enough time to gel when as always the club leave it to the very last minute to make late signings, same old, same old .
But it’s nice to know the Solar panels will save us a few bob.

No doubt he will talk a good game !
No , I think he'll say it as it is . He never hides and tells the truth . He should be livid with that performance . Tonight we're now the worst team in League One . I don't blame Richie , I blame the board for not adequately backing him . . Oh dear God 3-0 . We're sh*t !!!!
Its his team, set up by him and playing his tactics and he does not like playing with a target man centre forward. .

The board have let RW down big time, I would be amazed if he stays for much longer as he is ambitious and the club clearly don’t match his ambition with the budget needed.
It has been clear for some time that the club need new investors that will have sufficient wealth to take our club further.
Who wants to our club to stagnate and watch performances like today at unrealistic home attendance prices or even worse see us relegated .
It’s time for the board to wake up and smell the coffee or home attendances will continue to fall .

Poor ball into centre of pitch, giving possession away, then CF goes thru 1 on 1 with Hemings, and only one outcome

3-0 was deserved by Shrewsbury, we got what we deserved.
Wellins does not like playing with a proper centre forward.

But will a bigger club go for a manager who has lost 4 in a row?

The frustrating thing for me is that once we go 1-0 down we have got absolutely nobody on the bench who we can bring on to make a positive difference. And we are stuck like this right up until January now. Still, we have got 4 goalkeepers. Perhaps we should give one of them a go.

That's a win win then, go spend the money on something that's far better value for money like a nice meal at your favourite take away, Fish and Chips, Chinese or an Indian, just take your pick !
