    Another rudderless performance devoid of strategy and cohesion.

    Poor team selection for the umpteenth time, how Maatsen keeps getting games is beyond me. Well played Washington.

    Better than it has been, but not good enough still. JFC has become a big player for us - his work rate drags a bit extra out of players around him. Without him, not enough players are playing with the required intensity.

    Midfield isn’t good enough. Two seasons ago we had the best midfield in the league. I’m not sure the current one is even top 10. Certainly not with Pratley and Watson in it at the same time. Smith did enough as a sub to make me question why he didn’t start instead of one of those two.

    Playoffs still a possibility but it feels like it doesn’t matter because I just don’t see how we would win them.

    When we play badly it's the player's fault. 

    When we play well it's to Bowyer's credit. 

    Deciding to ignore everything that made us half decent in the past two games once he could get the Pratley/Watson double team back together.

    A fair point between two mid table teams. 

    Quality very low sadly, and not what I expected to see come this stage of the season. 

    Our slow and unimaginative central midfield set the tone for our performance. They never receive criticism from the Manager.

    The biggest disappointment for me today is that Watson didnt get booked and pratley didnt get sent off which means they will both start on Tuesday.

    Of all the dross we had out there, you pick on the guy who ran more than anyone else, made several saving tackles, set up Morgan for a clear chance, set up Stockley for a clear chance and got the assist?

    Bowyer on VP:

    ”Pros and cons. First half we started well, should have been leading at HT”
    ”We didn’t do the same second half. Stopped doing the things that caused them problems. We were slow and the tempo stopped”
    ”they got a goal and we had to make changes as we were sluggish”
    ”we became better team again. If Chuks scores we win the game. Conor took his chance well”
    ”but we could have lost the game. Vulnerable on the counter attack”
    ”point better than nothing. Disappointed. But players should be proud of themselves how many games they’re playing. They kept fighting until the end”
    Continued: 

    “A lot of them looked tired today. Just the one change unlike when we’ve made 5, 6, 7 changes”
    ”Not just fitness side. Even passing was slow.”
    ”For me I’m disappointed as feel likes it’s 2 points dropped.”
    ”they don’t give away much. Physical side”

    Dare I say, that chance that Chuks missed is exactly the kind of chance that Ronnie Schwartz would thrive on. i'd back him to bang that in.

    Watson Pratley midfield has still somehow technically never lost.

    Washington continues to prove me right.

    💤 Didn’t deserve anything from today and was lucky not to lose. We looked better when the subs came on. Onto Tuesday... who are we playing?

    Gave the ball away a ton of times. Yeah he got an assist by making a simple pass, great. Main issue was Pratley/Watson but that's been mentioned enough already.

    That may be correct mate but it doesnt mean it's not total dross

    Remind me to never get another valley pass when the line up contains pratley and watson. Its just so negative. Every game is a must win to have any chance of making the play offs so we set up not to lose against,and im not being disrespectful,shrewsbury. Time to leave the old guard behind now Bow,season too far for them now. Another summer rebuild🙄

    I thought he passed it more accurately than he has been doing. Some nice link play to get us going forward. I guess he has a reputation as someone who gives it away by now though

    Very good is over egging it but if we had continued that level into the second half we very likely would have won that game.

    It was the way we came out second half that killed us.

    Could argue that Schwartz was the right Striker to bring on

    Stockley wasnt having success in the air against them, Aneke didnt have any success against them in the reverse fixture (and didnt today) - Washington on the other hand was terrorising them when he got the ball to feet
  • The Prince-e-Paul : " Either they are tired, bored, inept, or disinterested. "........... Sounds like they could do with motivation and good management........ Fires in bellies works wonders! Five in a row now for Burton. Incidentally, did you know the Shrewsbury Underground Railway is known as the Salopian Tube?
