Such a weird team selection. NJ can say he wants to be “front footed” until he’s blue in the face but when you go out at home against relegation threatened team with 3 defensive midfielders and a left back in midfield and a centre back at right back and a formation that clearly no one in team (and possibly stadium) understands this is what you’re likely to get.
That non goal says everything about us this season. Center comes in, no Shrews player near, keeper stuck on his line, our CB under no pressure elects to put it out for a corner.
Fully deserved. We’ve been absolute shite. Look as lost as we did under Appleton. No one looks they know their role. No communication. NJ’s had a mare here.
Small giving all the space in the world to let the winger pick out a pass. A weak tackle from Coventry and then everyone stands still to watch the striker have another chance to score.
Comments
Not sure why the commentators are trying to overthink it.
They even mentioned early in the game that Small was ‘deep’.
That's what my eyes are telling me too.
Just passing on his coms, although he thinks it's changing between a 4 and 3.
Whatever it is, it ain't working!
He tips over Bennett's free-kick.
Lots of space for Shrewsbury because it doesn't appear that Coventry is covering the ground that Dobson sometimes is able to do.

Poor defending
Piss-poor defending once again.
And a dinosaur is on the rampage at the back of the Jimmy Seed.
