Sorry for what I’m about to say, but I have just seen the high lights of the game I know we was down to ten men but the defending for there goal was shocking and but for Mathews brilliant saves towards the end we could have been on the end of another good hiding and don’t give me this crap we was down to ten men as I’ve just watched Derby beat Charlton with ten men for more than an hour of there game. It’s as if we are just making excuses up for our own short comings. We might as well just except defeat and start again next season come on guys we still have half our season to play onwards and upwards COYWM

Absolutely right, Oom....we wouldn't be football fans if we didn't live in hope. Despite certain criticisms of Keith, we should all agree he has got us on the right track, and with some astute signings in the next few days it is possible to achieve what once seemed totally impossible. But he has to balance the ins and outs skilfully, and on that we will make further judgments. Incidentally since Alnwick has now joined Sunderland shouldn't we be looking for a fee for him ? Regarding the EFL's further penalties let us be satisfied that both FV and the Supporters Trust lie in wait for them with appeals on the cards if necessry.

Of course there is still hope but I tend to agree with chip that we’ve been somewhat fortunate to get the results we have so far and with a massive deficit to still pick up and games left receding every week, a huge task is looking more and more unlikely. The continuing EFL penalty situation is now bordering on farcical with the time its taking to resolve. Clearly a further penalty of say 6 points on top of what we have now would be terminal for us. I’m not completely writing us off but unless KH pulls a couple of real rabbits out of the hat in January, I think the task may be ahead of this squad. First of course we must beat Burton tomorrow, no ifs, no buts and without Lowe and Bridcutt that in itself we be a hard task. Let’s hope we do and those above us lose just to add that bit of confidence we need for 2020.

Chill....*** I’ve just watched Derby beat Charlton with ten men for more than an hour of there game. ****...that is an exception not normal....normally the 10 men are under pressure from the minute they are down to 10 men.......give the boys some credit!

Sorry grud1 for upsetting your breakfast but it seems to me that every time we go down to ten men or play teams that go down to ten men we are crap my point is we played Charlton a couple of seasons ago and we played with six at the back and they won 2-1 we got a penalty and there defender was sent of. It must be just me but I think we can’t play with or against ten men we only just beat mk dons with 10 men I’m only saying onwards and upwards COYWM

Add to that Grud I wasnt annoyed with the players but thought the 2nd half was a poor set up. First half it was comfortable. We had best of the chances.
2nd - before the red we were pegged back and I dont think we had a shot on target, corner, free kick in the last third.
The red card didnt actually change anything just maybe gave us that focus to sit back and absorb.
Think important not to lose but it does add pressure on the Burton game. Suppose any game we dont win we realistically have to win the next. But that should not come as a surprise to Hill, Flitcroft, Brittain James or any players. Everyone knew the cards that were dealt.

I think it's important to realise that Shrewsbury, inspired by Sam Ricketts, upped their physicality in the second half and this possibly led to Lowe's red card tackle. Maybe our management should have warned the team that might happen. I was very relieved that we hung on for a pouint under the circumstances, but feel changes to our line-up should and could have been made before the card.For instance Dodoo was doing nothing and Daryl Murphy was geting no support against two really hard central defenders, not even from the referee.

Let’s get this sorted once and for all I’m not complaining about only getting a point for me the players do the best they can under the present circumstances but I was only making an honest observation that we don’t do well against ten men or with ten men. 🤷♂️🥳🎉🎉 Onwards And Upwards COYWM
