Ok he was not 100% fit enough to play the way Richie likes but instead of sending him out on loan, we could have accepted him as he was and perhaps got at least 50 or 60 quality minutes per game out of him.

We have started to put a few passes together, but yet again no attacking threat, no shots.
77mins and no urgency from this team to get the ball forward

This is really really poor.

Just shows what Idris meant to this team.
We were always going to miss Idris . He was our engine room . Also missing out on Shaq Forde we're carrying less threat going forward than last season . Early days but I can see this squad getting relegated. This game is as good as lost . Richie has now got some major problems

Aside from getting Agyei on the ball and hoping for the best, I cannot see where a goal is going to come from. No semblance of link-up play or creative forward passing in their half.

Surprised Zech isn’t on. Held our midfield together in the first 2 games.

Good grief . Stick some money on us going down this season . We've got an awful side . Got to say , we deserve it as well .We can't compete on or off the pitch at this level . Now the only team in league one without a single point . Just Stockport and Wrexham up next . They must be rubbing their hands together

74% possession.
What's the point with this sort of effort and attitude.

Also no Ruel to score the unexpected goals.

If you can’t get at least a point against this team you know we are in trouble. Like to see all the happy clappers put a spin on this one.

We have fullbacks who pass sideways or lose the ball
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.

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 !!!!

Some people on here keep saying "In Wellens we. trust". Well, l, for one don't. The guy can't seem to motivate the players to league 1 standard. Yes, l know we got to 11th place last season, but the division was weaker than it is now. I'm not sure he has got what it takes to move the team on.

Poor poor goal
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.
