Re: The Shrewsbury match thread.

Mmmmm??? Think you got that one the wrong way round my friend.
The Shrews came, they saw, they pillaged - Stanley!
By half time I thought this game has 0-0 all over it, so ineffective was our attack.
The Shrews upped their work rate at the start of the 2nd half & began to put Stanley under real pressure.
In fact, our penalty award in the 67th minute was somewhat against the run of play.
It instilled confidence in the team & when Charles hit an absolute screamer to make it 2-0, the Shrews looked truly pillaged.
5 minutes later Hughes contrived to gift the Shrews a lifeline & the tables began to turn.
When Sam Ricketts (football genius?) made 2 substitutions on 79 minutes, it changed the game.
Within 10 minutes, both Udoh & Okenabirhie had scored the goals to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Naive defending cost us the game, although I think it's ludicrous to blame it all on Evtimov.
Hard work on the training ground is required to turn this present squad into a competent L1 side.
