Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Two players away on international duty and 4 on the treatment table or in recovery mode this is my guess at the line up:-
Savin.
Sykes. Amankwah. Rodgers.
Nottingham. Hamilton. Morgan. McConville. Clark.
Bishop. Mumbango.

Subs:- Isherwood. Sherring. Pell. Leigh. Butcher.
Nolan. Malcolm.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Whats wrong withStanley?-last season they were very often good for 14 or so combined corners per game..lately it been feckall, and today ,so far, just 3. Used to make a couple of $ on that higher rate,

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Judging by what the lads & lasses that get to go to the games have been saying, it seems the Stanley are all over the shop at the moment, not really settled & no one to drive things. Can only hope they sort it out schnellish in the near future.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

3 more points and the 'P' word resurrected. Goos onya STANLEY

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

So onwards & upwards for the Stanley.


You get yourself off for some kip now KJ, Catch you at the next game. :)

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

I love that table Kiwi, but am trying to keep my excitement in check for a while yet - noting that 3 of the teams we've beaten occupy 22nd, 23rd and 24th places, with a combined record of 5 points and GD of -19 from 16 games ....

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

i have seen some bad refs in my life but this one takes the biscuit he was terrible. and i say this cos i have a ref stood with us who got on late cos he was reffing before the game. and he could not believe this little fat get.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

First game back live after a severe back problem great to see all the familiar faces in Block F plus loads of new ones, really good game Shrewsbury,s league position will surely improve a decent side.Thoughts on our players all played well Pell never stops shouting Captain material Morgan really impressive in the holding role. Sherring looking a class act has is Clark Mumbango deserved his goal and played well, like the look of both substitutes could give it a real go this year has we proudly sit joint top.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Poundland Heat Pads for the back Andy. Work brilliantly for me for the sore back

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Whatchdog thanks for the advice but mine has been an infection in the spine not nice but eh I,m getting there and back at my beloved Stanley. Back to the game I think we have done a lot of decent work in the window, this side today was missing Conneelly, Rodgers, Pritchard injured plus Trafford and Charles away on International duty, we really look like we have strength in depth.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Pleased for Mumbongo that he got his goal. Clark did well attacking down the right, especially first half as he seemed to tire towards the end. Also impressed with Hamilton for the brief period he was on. Defence and Toby were pretty solid and another tigerish performance in midfield from Morgan.
But it was another nail-biting last twenty (+nine!) minutes as Stanley seemed, yet again, content to try and hold out with a slender lead. A dangerous game to play with a ref who missed blatant fouls, especially rugby tackling defenders, but would blow for minor infringements.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Read a few messages on the Shrewsbury message board the general consensus is that they were terrible today single in out certain players and giving Steve Cottrell some stick, strange how when you've lost 5 out of 6 fans view their own side as rubbish. I am with most on here they played their part in a decent game like others have said 1-0 is nailbiting but it's a clean sheet and defending from the front.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Fair comment Chimer, but how often have we been undone by those in the lower places - we're going up :D

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

think it was only nailbiting because we could not score a second. it was the usual dour shrewsbury for me. a difficult side to play against and get a result. that with more than a little help from a referee who you never knew what he was going to stop the game for. never clamped down on their tactice early enough and after the problems they played their part in to cause the week before you,d have thought he,d have been far more stricter. then we had to suffer 9 minutes and another 90 seconds on top that for me was far over the top.

in the past we have struggled with a couple of players missing never mind 5 who would have all played. those that would have started a few seasons ago never made much of a contribution even on their debuts. at least now coley has some proper decisions to make on his starting 11 without it more or less picking itself.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Spot on Andy, Shrews could have taken a point - or even all three - they are not a team that will finish in the bottom half!

:) :) :)

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Just watched the highlights back and the move that led to the goal great movement and passing what a fabulous pass from David Morgan to the marauding Sykes with a peach of a cross and Mumbongo with a strikers instinct to be first to the pushed out save and a moral boosting goal to hopefully lead to many more.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Agree Andy, good goal!

But why are a blue and yellow team playing in claretty pink against the Reds? And why are they allowed to?

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

A welcome increase of a few hundred on the gate today which is another positive to take from today.
Onwards and upwards!:alright::jimbo:

I really enjoyed both days!

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Gentlemen. There is far too much optimism and excitement on this thread as to Stanleys and Shrewsbury's performance on Saturday. While a win and three points is always welcome....based on Saturdays performance...both the Stanley and the Shrews will do well to stay up in league 1, nevermind be in the top half. Missed chances and poor defending by both sides made for a poor quality game by two average sides. We had key players missing yesterday but I'm not sure if they had a similar excuse.....probably not. However we got the three points. Live in hope...and keep the faith....support the team and Coley. The next 2 Saturdays will give us a better idea where we might finish.....

Bob !.. Following the C.V.Stanford Society's Facebook page, I listened to his Jubilate not long ago.. and have sung the Parry many times..
Although what this has to do with The Reds I can't think..
Take care of that voice !..:alright:

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

did not expect a classic before the kick off. i,ve never actually seen a decent game where the opposition is shrewsbury town and not just at the wham either. yes it was a poor quality game with two possibly below average sides on the day not helped by a poor referee. having so many faces out of our side i was glad of the 3 points which i thought the lads deserved.

Just an explanation of how one supporter, myself in this case, expresses his support on match days. I bought ‘The Horn’ in the mid 1990’s and it allows my optimism and support to be expressed towards the team and the management.
:jimbo:

Some supporters express themselves by shouting, singing, waving flags moaning or even writing to John Coleman!:knife: I do it by displaying the full Stanley colours in the way I dress on match days and by…..blowing my horn!:jimbo:

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

anyone notice the bit of non action mid way through the second half on saturday. the players were on the top half of the pitch and the ball stood about 10 yards on the pitch. we all know the score at that time and coley went on the pitch and kicked the ball in the direction of where all the players where. on coming off he was met by the jobsworth 4th official who said something to john and then got his pen and notepad out to obviously write down this vile incident. with what goes on in games and the benches you,d think they had better things to occupy them.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

That was probably the highlight of that jobsworth’s day! What else does a 4th official have to do other than get the extra time wrong and sneak to ‘sir’ about the managers.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

Maybe he's the phantom letter-writer MH ?.. jotting down notes for his next missive to JC !.
( ps.. As I forecast last week 3 so-called friends did ask me on Saturday if I was the one pestering our Manager with unwanted communications .. accusations of which I am totally innocent )....:alright:

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

to ask you mate i would strike them off the friends list.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

they are basically a buffer between the benches and the match officials. they get all the stick for mistakes they make or mistakes those on the bench think they make. did it once and flatly refused to do it a second time. too short a fuse to do that job.

Re: Shrewsbury home thread.
 

At games I have on countless occasion,s sreamed at liners and referees but at the end of the day without the game wouldn't exist.
