Bit worried about our current midfield injury crisis. Indeed, we need to hold it together to keep momentum going into the busy Christmas period. Bit worried about the Wycombe game tbh.
What game?Instantly forgettable game.
Sounded like I didn't miss much. Only plus points are we didn't lose and Sunderland lost. Think we need a bit more strength in depth to really challenge for the top 2 though.
If by defending very well you mean they dropped very deep, fouled, dived and time wasted then I would agree with you.Think Robbo made a mistake starting henry defensive mid. We missed the henry/cadden combo down the right. Shrewsbury defended very well and pressed us all over the pitch. Hall and Sykes are unfortunately not good enough.
We were not absolute rubbish.Absolute rubbish today but not surprising with how bare bones we are. With Henry now seemingly out too and the next couple of weeks start to look very concerning.
No we weren’tWe were not absolute rubbish.
Long is too useful to leave on the bench when we are short. Play him and put Cadden on the right wingI think we really struggle without both Brannagan and Gorrin. They complement each other really well and our huge part of our identity which is quick pressing and quick passing. We generally had good possession today but didn’t use the ball well or close the spaces quick enough. I don’t see a choice apart from get a couple of young players in who will at least have the energy to press the opposition. We have the luxury of not being in a precarious position so let’s see what some of them are made of and give them some development. Definitely need Ruffels in midfield and Long at left back for next game. Hopefully Hanson can do a job in there soon as well. In every crisis comes opportunity! COYY
Don’t worry kip don’t go to games so he wouldn’t know if we were rubbish or notWe were not absolute rubbish.
KR's dramatic response of silence was in response to the opening question "We've just heard Sam Ricketts saying Shrewsbury were the better team and could have gone on to win the game, do you agree?"A friend listening to the post match interview with Robinson said it was a painful interview, even the reporter said if you take this long to answer it will be a long interview, was it that bad?
Poor day at the office, let's hope we have time to get a few of the first team back.
