This is gonna sound quite harsh, but the good news is about us looking this poor is we have an owner now who actually wants us to do well and watches our games. He won't stand for any dross and let us look this poor consistently
Doesn't sound harsh at all. If i was investing up to 20m in the first year alone and was watching this, i'd be asking some serious questions about what the fuck they do in training.
Midfield is the root cause right now. No width, no pace, no creativity. I know Williams splits opinion, but surely one of him or Morgan should start and then swap them after an hour. You have to have someone in midfield who wants to create. The 4 out there are just recycling the ball backwards and sideways until we eventually lose it.
Basic attacking tactic at the moment seems to be boot it in Chuks’ general direction and hope he somehow magics us up a goal.

My god. Maatsen shows some urgency and sprints forward with the ball. Squares it, and we send it back 40 yards to our keeper. What is our pattern of play exactly
All that shape work from Bowyer during the intl break has seen us well...
He didn't say that it was "attacking" shape work though did he?
We've not been good in defence or midfield either since the break so it must be about the subs shape.
Utter dross . Maatsen and Famewo and to be fair Pearce have done well , but JFC , Pratley and Watson make it a very pedestrian midfield . Can only get better .
chucks and martsen r the only players who can go past anybody and that midfield is as pedestrian as i've ever seen - worried that watson and pratley together in midfield is too slow and defensive? well lets add jfc as well and really plod it up
Well that was a crock of shite, at one point we had the ball about 30 yds out (may have been 35/40) in their half and due to lack of movement we sent it all the way back to Amos!! We have no pace and very little movement. We need a BIG second half, as other results are currently, in the main, going our way.

Our midfield's only function seems to be to facilitate a backwards pass to the defence. Got to change it up - surely! Get Albie on. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see a red card or two in this game
Pratley and Watson are there to protect the semi-fit centre backs I reckon. Second half there is the Morgan/Williams option to make the midfield more creative, and putting Purrington on and pushing Maatsen upfield.
First half the passing had better be good because there is no carry in that midfield much beyond walking pace.
As usual, slow to start first half, wait for a rollocking half time before playing better in second half............or is that my imagination?
inept, clueless and devoid of any idea of how we are suppose to be playing. Bowyer needs to be called out. Awful team selection. Lack of width, pace and energy. His refusal to play our younger players is costing us. No excuses this is awful, Shrewsbury are awful. If you pick four midfielders who are basically the same player then you reap what you saw. Get Morgan on get Henry on. Enough blaming injuries, fans, players, covid or the usual shit. Bowyer needs to do some coaching and sort this. Anything less than three points against this shower of shite is not good enough.

0' Ref blows whistle to start the game.
45+2' Ref blows whistle for half time.
Nothing has happened in between.
Dull.
Poor.
Shocking.
Can only get better.
But probably won't.

Also love that was your bigger issue rather than the fact that he'd confuse American Football with Football
He bigged up the "shape work" in the international break and we have been fucking aweful since.
Is the fear of loosing starting to bite?
We look really ordinary, a desperate lack of quality on the ball
How has JFC come off the radar and taken a start.
How Bowyer can think that side would create anything is a joke.
Backwards backwards, mistake backwards, lump, miscontrol.
Shite
Next week, in training, work on an actual system of play
