3 points needed, particularly after the Chesterfield disappointment.
Hopefully, the same 11 - no messing about with the team because of 3 games in 7 days (where the hardship in that?).
A solid win will set us up well for Scun thorpe.
A 2-0 win.

They should have scored for 2-1 but they missed a sitter. We have now woke up and have started to dominate good stuff đ

Why do we race into a 2 goal lead and then flatter to deceive??
If it was down to goal difference on top two or play-offs come end of season it'll be clear we won't be there but....
A win is a win so onwards and upwards
Let's do S C U N T H O R P E on Dec 31st

I know it's another win and we can say it's a positive that our goals are shared about but the fragility of our wins being so narrow really worries me. For a team at the top I never go into any game Confident that we're going to win it no matter who we are playing. It's the same when we're ahead like today, I always feel we're on the verge of giving it away by going to pieces. Good teams when two up go on for more and kill games off but we seem to be happy to settle and inviting teams onto us. Fortunately the standard in this league is pretty poor and we get away with it but I'm not sure we will against the better teams and certainly not in the Championship next year if we're lucky enough to get there. I don't know if it's down to management instructions or lack of character in the players but whatever it is it's worrying me greatly.

Another raggy performance.
But for some rank bad Shrewsbury defending and some little luck with referee decisions, this could have been an embarrassing result.
We started poorly as usual. Shrewsbury had most of the ball but no chances. We almost scored from a corner and this proved to be Shrewsburyâs downfall.
First Wheater latched on to a corner which I think their keeper should have cleared and volleyed in from 2 yards out and then repeated the action from a free kick which, again, they should have cleared. 2-0 at half time but certainly not quality football. It was all big boot to Madine.
Second half, we just did not start at all. They had the ball but created almost nothing but we just couldnât get going.
Then Clough went to sleep defensively. Their full back got into the area and somehow played the ball past every one of his colleagues in the middle. They should have scored. At this stage, Shrewsbury realised that perhaps they could score and upped it.
The tale of the non-penalties then occurs.
Madine confuse their centre half on a bouncing ball in the box. Centre half then knocks the ball away with his arm but somehow the ref doesnât see it. A pen and 3-0 would have saved my nerves.
It got odder then as the linesman flagged for a Shrewsbury pen only for the ref to overrule him.
Shrewsbury then scored after some terrible defending from the team as a whole. Ameobi headed the ball out of defence straight to their full back. Ball gets played in, hits the bar and bounces out to the right for the Shrewsbury player to lob it back into the centre to a man totally unmarked 6 yards out for an easy header. A really poor goal defensively.
Our nerves were gone now and, again, the linesman flags for a Shrewsbury pen for hands and the ref overrules him.
I donât think Iâve ever seen a match where the linesman has flagged for a pen only to be overruled twice.
At that stage we were lucky.
We then did a bit of our time-wasting â which are getting good at â and played time out.
We just about deserved to win as Shrewsbury were dreadful for most of the game but it wasnât good.
We need a massive improvement for the Scun thorpe game.
Alnwick - 6 Not a great deal to do.
Wilson - 6 A few slips â matched with a couple of pieces of good defending.
Beevers - 6 Not sure about the defending for their goal. Otherwise usual sound performance.
Wheater - 8 Same comments as per Beevers except for 2 goals.
Taylor A - 6 Again, steady but not spectacular.
Spearing - 9 Dominant in midfield. Hope his substitution is not a serious injury.
Thorpe - 6 Not sure about the need for a player of his style for this match.
Ameobi - 5 Not enough forward play. He rarely gets into the box and you are never going to score âworldiesâ from way out in every match.
Vela - 6 Our style of play â constant long ball to Madine â effectively took Vela and Clough out of the game as they need the ball on the floor.
Clough - 6 Some neat tricks and couple of shots but not in game enough.
Madine - 6 Won a lot of long balls but had no-one to play the ball onto.
Derik - 6 Two lovely passes when he came on. A much better passer of the ball than Thorpe.
