If I was a Shrewsbury supporter, I'd be pretty pissed off right now. Oh well, who cares?
Exactly! |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

That was shit. 3-1 would have flattered us if it was the other way round.
Branco was shit
Left back was shit, but i'll let him off seeing as he only signed this morning
Weather was shit
Harley was Shit
The fans around me are a load of shit
Thank god for Foderingham, he kept us in it, big time.
Thompson played well.

Well the change in shape when Ranger came on led to them being on top for most of the 2nd but ultimately came good. Thank fuck Wes on the ball today. Hall Ward not a great performance today - again Defence really does look all at sea at times but on the other hand Smith gives another dimension up front and helped paper over those cracks.  Martin Ling on BBCWilts as a scout for Walsall felt Shrews unlucky and town mugged them. Not looking forward to tuesday with warsaw scoring 5 away from home today  |

We didn't deserve that. Lost impotus when Mason went off, lost some drive and urgency when Jay Mac went off, lost shape when Ranger came on.
Positives: Smith looks a good signing, Wes had a good game but needs to talk to his back 4 more. Ranger makes a huge difference when the shape is right.
Negatives: no movement, no urgency. Harley slows everything down. Defence was awful. Luongo is not the same player as he was at the start of the season - don't think any of the young lads are not feeling the effects of a long season. Wind died down when it was with us.
3 points though against an efficient Shrewsbury side. Why that chap didn't square it when 1 on 1 with Wes I'll never now - effectively cost them the game.

We didn't lose shape when Ranger came on, we went to a 4-4-2 with Kasim holding and Pritch tucked in, Luongo was fucking anonymous most of the match anyway. Ward was crap, almost gave them a goal on two occasions, thank god for Wes!! One day our luck at home will run out and we will play well and get beat, cos today we played awful and won!!

Undeserved, but very welcome, 3 points.
We made a poor Shrewsbury side look good. Defending was awful and WTF was Ward doing dwelling on the ball in the second half - thank God for Wes.
The build up is so slow and ponderous and confidence looks shot to pieces. No wonder we are shit away if that is how we defend.
Thought Pritchard put in a shift - heard rumour he is off the Huddersfield on loan this week.
Smith looks a good addition.
Can't think of a good thing to say about the others.

That was a dreadful 80 minutes of football.
One tempo, passionless and tricky players running into a cul de sac of opposition players and giving the ball away cheaply.
I was going to buy my Peterboro ticket after the game but fuck that. I wouldn't turn up for that if it was free.
I've got to go to Orient but just might stay in the pub.
I'm that pissed off.

That really was a fucking shocking performance. So many bad performances. Wes MOM by a country mile. The save he made when Ward fucked up was excellent.
The back 4 were a total fucking shambles with Ward the worst of the bunch. It was keystone kops.
The midfield was non existent. Byrne and Luongo being particularly shite. Pritchard did his usual trick of running down blind alleys. Mason is about as fit as I am.
Smith looked pretty good but given the total fucking shit behind him, didn't get into the game much.
The thing that really worries me and has for a while is the total lack of leadership out on the pitch.
Fuck knows how we won that but we were shite. That is the third home game on the bounce we did not deserve to win. We really need a leader out there. I think we can say the luck over the season has probably evened out after us ditching early points we should have got.
It could be a long end of the season. Surely we can't play that shit again.
On the positive side, its three more points but a half decent team would have ripped us a new one today.

Come on the mighty TEF. Last Town player to score a brace on his debut...

SSP got a hat-trick on his. I'm sure there must be a more recent example.

Got to say, 7500 turning up on a truly shite day weather wise wasn't bad at all.
We look a million miles away from the team that performed so well at the start of the season.
BTW, looked like Mason couldn't get off the pitch quick enough to me
