They are pressing us high up the pitch and we cant get enough good ball to bring Ajose or Magennis into the game. Both are feeding off scraps. Reeves is too lightweight and is getting bullied off the ball. Obviously want the win but will be happy not to lose and have a go at their place where I think we’ll win.
Switched over just at kick off so didn’t see gobbo is in the studio haha. He looks like a used car salesman accidentally ending up at a function at the house of some one he just sold an old duffer a couple of weeks back. Trying not to look awkward
He's been spot on so far both before the game and at half time.
Not at our best. Seem to get surrounded when in possession. Hope LB gives them a rollicking and we up the tempo in the second half. Really need a lead to take to the second leg.
They look a good organised side. Worry about them on the break. Need an early goal here second half to settle nerves. Fosu on for Mav would be only change for me
May have missed it, but haven’t bothered reading the posts on here (yep, the cursed PWR) but Robinson in Sky studio!! Let it go fella, you were/are shocking as a manager
Reeves a pile of shit? You're straight-up wearing a blindfold. He's played some lovely passes, put some good crosses in and recycled possession well. He's even tackled well! He just can't win with some supporters though.
No..he is having a poor overall game. The block and a couple of good balls doesn't mean he's having a good game.
He's lightweight and for a attacking midfielder he's plays more sideways balls than Kashi!
Have reserved opinion on Reeves but having done a few games lately and seen him, he's just not been that great.
Frustratingly had to watch first half on delay with sound on mute :-(
Decent half. We started well, they got more comfortable as it progressed. The lack of chances Ajose gets and the lack of confidence with Magennis with the ones he does get is a concern.
We need to hope we get on top halfway through the half and then keep them penned back for the remainder
I must be watching a different game. I thought it was a good quality first half from both teams. Charlton starting the stronger then Shrews coming back into it. Could easily have been 2-2 at the break. Wouldn't pick out any Charlton players as being poor so far.
Nothing in it between us so far for me. We were better first 15, middle 15 neither side really, last 15 them. Only one save from Amos that either keeper has had to make but we came closer to scoring with JFC.
No need to panic or anything think we will score second half.

I think it's a bit of both, he's doing as good a job as he can but Shrewsbury are doing a good job of bullying him out and keeping him quiet

No we don't. It's a play-off game, it was always going to be tight. The game is about even between two top six teams.
Fosu may be able to unlock their defence in the last 20 mins.

Game alive. But no cornetto
Come on you Reds, win this second half.
