So are you suggesting we switch to 442, or Ramsay's going to play on the right of a back 3? Has he played that role before, because I'm not sure having 2 players on that side playing out of their comfort zones is going to work out.Leuth said:

I reckon we had the two best chances to score
Before time added on.
Yes not a great game, I described the first half as unenthralling to a friend in a text.
But the big thing to show fircus in the game was heart not given in to soporific nature of the game I accepting the draw.0 -
The way we set up to play, Ramsay doesn’t fit into the rwb role at all. Imagine he’ll be competing more for Alex Mitchell’s role, who had another shaky day today. Think Ramsay probably offers more overall.aliwibble said:And this is why you never leave early, although by the sounds of the rest of the match, I should imagine it was incredibly tempting.

He wernt great, but seen a lot worse to describe him as luxury wage thiefLeuth said:Luke Berry is, I think it can no longer be argued with, a horrible void in the heart of our play, a waning higher level grafter turned luxury wage thief. I fucking hate him and all the players who fit this exact mould that we keep signing for some reason29 -
Proper fans favourite material is Thierry. Really hope he sticks around for a couple of years and we get to do some more polishing of the diamond in the rough. I honestly think it’d be the best thing for him too, he’s settled in, his face fits, and he’ll get the games he needs. If he gets this stage of his development right he’ll go on to play at a very high level.29

You can see it, he drifts around, doesn't really show a leg, played in the Prem last season don't you know, winding down, sometimes takes a free kick or scores a goal on the rare occasions the ball and him show up at the same time, contributes almost nothing to general playJohnnyH2 said:

We deserved that - by far we were the better side - Shrews basically parked the bus - the important thing is we kept on trying right to the end, and got our reward - win on Tuesday we are right in the mix
Clean sheet, 3 points, stoppage time winner 😃

Big few minutes, 6th place Barnsley concede then we score

Completely devoid of quality for the most part and despite them doing nothing all game, Shrewsbury really should have been 1-0 up at the end. Was a brilliant moment when that goal went in though, cant remember the last time we had a celebration like that at home.We desperately need a creative midfielder to replace Berry if we want to really compete.11

Ha ha, I took a similar pic and was planning a similar post: Red sky at night, Load of old shite. Fortunately I had to ditch my version. I prefer yours.AFKABartram said:Red sky at night

I know people will say it was a dull game, and we looked a bit toothless, but we bloody deserved that, for persistence at least
Once again we looked more dangerous with the subs on the pitch (great to see Ramsay back), and we kept probing away in injury time, with the floated balls to Chuks. Eventually we got the break that we had worked so hard for, when the ball fell for Thierry (HFHM) Small in the box. Cue scenes.
It reminded a bit of Naby Sarr’s goal at Loftus Rd a few years back.
Haven’t looked at the table yet, but that has to keep us in touch at least.

Small played well today, but in the first half looked like he could do with some support. It all came good with Ramsay behind him. Could be the way forward.aliwibble said:

You are a weird guy... seem to love some players whatever they do and hate some players whatever they do. Berry didn't have his best game today, but is one of the better players in the squad. I'd prefer if we had someone a bit more creative in there and have him coming off the bench when we need a goal, but he is the least of our troubles, seems an honest pro and always likely to nick a goalLeuth said:Luke Berry is, I think it can no longer be argued with, a horrible void in the heart of our play, a waning higher level grafter turned luxury wage thief.

Think we all took the same photo, when it was going to be a boring nil nil.13 -
Edwards into lcb, ramsay rwb and small lwb seems the obvious one to me. Edwards can pull across to a flat back 4 when small bombs forward and he has played there beforealiwibble said:

He along with Gillesphey, are the weakest links in the side. Berry does not make himself available when Coventry or Lloyd are looking for an outfball. He cannot win tackles or fend them off. He cannot beat a player or make a decisive forward pass. We need a replacement attacking mid to sustain our challenge, not him.CAFCsayer said:

Thats a lovely flick on from the Shrews Defender in the centre, to just slow the ball down and probably make it ever so slightly easier for Small to control itfenaddick said:4 -
Wasn't a great performance, can't remember many clear cut chances, except the one they missed, but we persevered and deserved the winner. Can't accuse the team of not keeping on right to the end. Chuks is a right handful and I don't mind us lumping up to him for the last twenty or so BUT we need to get others closer to him for knock downs, flick ons etc. Godden looked like he'd only met him as they came on the pitch. Miles was, well, miles off it today. For me Berry is currently the weak link, doesn't do enough and not the type to link up midfield and attack, we need better. I really hope we can strengthen this window because if we can finish top six I doubt anyone would fancy playing us and I'd really fancy our chances. 9 points from the next four games needed to really put pressure on 5th and 6th spot. Can't beat a last minute winner can you?9

Highlights again why when we carve out relatively few goal scoring chances you need to take them.You just don’t get the luxury of another opportunity.We still miss ALfie May too much taking chances earlier in a match.Regardless fantastic when you win in the dying seconds.0

Terrible game with lots of players off the boil. Leaburn, Mitchell, Gillesphey, Berry all well below par and TC involved but nowhere near as good as he has been. We really struggle to break down teams that come to defend. Ramsay was understandably rusty but great to have him back. Anyway..somehow we came away with the win, with good composure from Small after some comical defending by them. Two barely deserved wins in a row and we're just outside the playoffs. Roll on Tuesday.0

Thoroughly deserved, great work ethic for the whole match. A little more creativity would produce a lot more goals though.0
