Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Well this looks yet another tough trip!

Who's in your XI??

Ive actually got no idea!:confused:

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Me i would revert Hunty back to full back, Buxton midfield n start Mingoia.:)

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

you'll probably get your wish

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Alabi flatters to decieve and Gray has chocolate ankles and falls under a stiff breeze. I'd go with Hatfield up front. Nver let us down and scores whenever he gets a run in the side. Simpson and Mingoia are obvious starters but as Smudgie says they rest is a mystery!!! :)

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

6 league goals in 70-odd appearances would suggest otherwise! Having said that I would play Hatfield, think his work rate and endeavour seems to be undervalued by the manager. Mingioa got to start .
My team
Simpson
Hunt Aldred Winnard Mustoe
Hatfield Joyce (if fit) Buxton Mingioa Naismith
Gray

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Cant see Joycy being fit and i have never seen Buxton play in midfield.
Like to see Lids given a chance to play himself into a bit of form.
Wouldn't be un-happy with that team tho Frank

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Not may runs in the side though so appearance/goals ratios don't tell the story Remember 18 x 5 minute cameos equates to one full game. As well he has often been played, wrongly in my eyes, in midfield. Always looks dangerous when he plays and as you say his work rate means he contributes even when he doesn't bag...which I don't think the other striking options do.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

[QUOTE=Alvin the chipmunk;1113897]Ok 5 league goals (thought it was 6) in 40-odd starts ignoring any sub appearances still suggests his goal return is not as good as any of the forwards. Anyway as I said I like Hatfield but he is not a forward. Incidentally you don't think Gray for one works hard and contributes when he's not scoring?? Do you sit behind an obstruction ?

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

'Fishy' site implies Messrs Joyce and Buxton may not be fit, which reduces midfield options.
I agree with F19 and would like to see Mr. Liddle given a game, probably at left back. He appears to be a natural left-footed and is one of the few players who can tackle and, I would like to think, wouldn't do any worse than Saturday's efforts.
Being awarded a penalty is a pretty rare event for Stanley so I only hope they get another tonight and Mr Naismith buries the ball, and the keeper if necessary, in the back of the net.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

I'm hoping we can beat em tonight without a penalty, have no wish to see that again.:eek:

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Can't argue wi that.:)

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

[QUOTE=FrankMoody;1113898]
Maybe so. But the number of moves he breaks up by throwing himself to the floor outweighs this imo. Frustrating as he's a talented lad.

Hope springs eternal. Just backed us to win 3-0 at 50/1.:D

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Good man Alvin, I backed em but only fer the win.;)

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

RR difficult one that.
Who do you drop as three at the back requires experienced wing-backs,and we don't have any !!.
Even man utd struggled on Saturday with that system as they dont have that type of player.
Its a tricky one,but common sense tells me play a tried and tested defence and go from there,ie Hunty,Dean,Tom,Lids

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Very good point. I'm not a fan of this "holding up" of advancing attackers that seems to be in vogue. It usually ends up with the attacker leaving the defender sprawling and the attacker advancing into the penalty area for a shot, cross and even a penalty!

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

I totally agree with injuries this is my team for tonight:-

Simpson
Hunt Aldred Atkinson Winnard

Windass

Hatfield Mustoe

Naismith Bowerman Mingoia


Subs:-
Lynch
Goulding
Carver
MCcartan
Martin
Gray
Alibi

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

teams are in few changes there's no buxton, kal drop to bench bowerman in

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Stanley: Simpson; Hunt, Winnard, Aldred, Mustoe; Mingoia, Joyce, Windass, Hatfield; Gray, Bowerman.


Subs
Lynch, Goulding, Atkinson, McCartan, Naismith, Carver, Alabi.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

1-0 down already afraid we are chasing another game.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Mangan. Could have bet on it :mad:

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

3-0 down Simpson sent off

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

We will be bottom tonight worst start than last year not looking good even so early.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

And next two games looking very dodgy to say the least.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Mangantonight and a certain Mr S Whalley on Sat

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

4-0 big job now for Beats to lift this lot maybe some new faces on board might help.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Still, only one point from the safety zone.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

And we've lost to the teams currently 8th, 6th and 3rd, who have - respectively - 6, 7 and 7 points ......Luton have won once, drawn one and lost 2 (counting the Cup game) and might be a different proposition

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

I agree, but we have got to attack Luton from the off, the weakest part of their team is the defence.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Just got back the officials a total joke ....Ist goal handball,2nd goal keeper fouled ref gave it other way ...penalty goalie red card,3rd goal handball
and even worse DAV nearly got the score right

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Thats fer sure no question, Tonight was a very poor display, no passion or desire to be first to the ball. once again NO MAN on the post fer corners, and why we persist in punting the ball high to a forward line of short arses is beyond me?:( Saying that the game was once again destroyed by useless officials, The first goal Mangan handled no question, Our keeper was then sent off fer nowt more than a 50/50, of which the shrews forward commited the first offence, the third another handball i couldn't sodding believe what i was watching.:mad: In the second half the Shrews eventually scored a cracker against a tiring 10 men, Carver came on n showed more determination in his short time than Gray had all match.:mad:

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Sounded dreadful, but every team gets, and gives, a 4-0 every season. Let's hope that's Stanley's drubbing out of the way.
Interesting Mr.Beattie talked about things going on at the club this week...any ideas to what he was referring?

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Probably not been paid again....................

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Think he was referring to some theiving scrotes nicking all the players boots,we heard they played in borrowed uns last night?:confused:

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Bad news if not being paid again so early in the season. Putting 2+2 together I thought the same tbh. Doesn't bode well for more loan signings either. A season that started with such optimism :-(

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Don't suppose there's any point appealing against Luke Simpson's red card? With our luck with refs we'd probably lose the appeal & end up with a fine or another game added to his suspension!

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

[QUOTE=Stanleyboy;1113996 Putting 2+2 together I thought the same tbh. [/QUOTE]

The maths are wrong :)

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Got to agree with Cashy,but watched the goals this morning and there even worse than i thought !!
The first the keeper really should deal with the back pass,but it was handball,indeed his arm was above his head !!.
For me though the left back was on the ball,under no pressure and just turned and put Tom under pressure.
The second was a joke,the ball went back to the keeper,who came for it and it bounced over his head !!.it was a penalty but not a sending off as Tom was goal side.
The third,from a corner,Tom seemed to get under the ball,but the lad controlled it with his arm and volleyed it in -- its handball,simple.
The fourth again was preventable,Hunty was out of position and got skinned,but to be fair the cross was good,but the left back will be disappointed he reacted slowly and could of dealt with it.
The negatives - We just opened the game up from the start going 4-4-2 and played with width (Hatfield isn't a winger )
Gray and Bowerman just doesnt work.
The positives - The lads gave everything they had in the second half (in terms of effort)
Joycy did ok and the young keeper as well.
For me though, the spine of the team has been ripped out,is simpson,windass and grey as effective as Benotelli,murph and Kayo ?,for me,that needs addressing

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

We need a fighter/mixer in midfield no question at all to me, Procky was never a big favourite of mine, but thats the job he did well.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Do you want me to hijack him at the golf club and throw him out at the training ground golf clubs and all? Trouble is all the bloody boots have been stolen,still golf shoes have studs?

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Now that is a good idea,:DCos hes boots won't have been nicked?

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

There is no shape to the side at all. At times last night we chased the ball in packs like they tell you not to do at school. You can argue about bad refereeing until the cows come home but giving him those decisions to make was self inflicted.

Last season we had the spine of Bettenelli...Aldred...Murphy...and Odejayi running through the middle of the team. 3/4 of that has gone now and I think we are missing them more than we possibly thought.

The lack of width seriously worries me....no out and out wingers.

Last seasons 12 match winless streak we were very unlucky and kept getting beat in auspicious circumstances....ie batterering Burton and them scoring in the 95th. This season so far...bar 10 minutes at Leeds.....we have been bullied and battered all over the shop. Cheltenham and Southend comfortably did a number on us too and could have had many more

In conclusion...need a target man, a midfield hatchet man and an out and out winger.

Positives. Mr Lynch did well on his debut...no chance with the goals.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Were is anyone arguing about bad refs Alvin?:confused:just stating fact, they were crap unless you think otherwise.:rolleyes:

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Just read the "Blue and Amber" Board, the Shrews fans have a better opinion of our performance than i do, Fair play to em.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Quelle catastrophe!:mad:
Picking up my season ticket tomorrow so I will be watching the 'new team' for the first time since last season on saturday.
Reserving further comment until I have watched them play.
hope my presence will make the difference on saturday....toot toot.....

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

So thats whats missing? welcome back.:D;)

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Agree Alvin,Lynch was tidy,good starting positions and make some decent saves.
What also sticks out is the general lack of pace.Having this turns 50/50s into 60/40s,and they dominated the second balls by getting there quicker.
would try 4-3-3 on saturday and play Tom/Rob in middle,dean and Lids fullbacks.
Bit of fight in there,Joycy ,windass,hunty in middle and Naismith ,Grey and,Mingolia up top.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

I too thought Lynch did quite well,not too sure about Gray, He wasn't at the races last night, would try Carver meself.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Have always thought that any player who has time to throw up both arms is more than likely a diver-diva.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

He's been watching Arjen Robben, the maestro of diving!
As Football 19 has said, Tom would have dealt with him, anyway, so not a sending off.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

Aye correct, the way we saw it was the striker fouled our keeper first as well.:mad: A shrews fan told us that ref had charge of one of their friendlies n was completly useless that day, they were just happy it was us he was useless for last night.

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

[QUOTE=cashman;1113988] ...Saying that the game was once again destroyed by useless officials,

Shrewsbury Town v Accrington Stanley videos, stats and reports
How could any ref or linesman that wasn't blind or stupid not see the first goal was handball?

Re: Shrewsbury Town Match Thread.
 

[QUOTE=Exile on Spencer St;1114117]What went on last night,makes me seriously wonder about backhanders, I said unbelievable the evidence proves i wasn't joking.:mad: Watch the penalty incident. the 3rd aint as easy to distinguish,but that was handball also from our position right in front of it.:mad:
