Having to try really hard now not to turn negative. So damned disapointing this

On a positive note we have done better than in the away game against them.

Just mentally swap it for one of our unexpected away wins

Can't think of a team we shouldn't be beating.

Barton looks like he is hanging

 

[dadgad]

Just goes to show - Elliot should have started - I swear Elliot would have put a couple of those chances away. Damned unfair to leave him on the bench methinks.

Correct.
CORRECT

I didn't wear my lucky sky blue coloured socks today. Feel a bit guilty now

 

[NINOOVCOV]

Looks like most of the Cov players were out on the piss last night......

 

[Nick]

Christie loves the extra 10 touches, just play it

 

[Houchens Head]

Is it over yet?

Mcgoldrick looked completely dis interested!

 

[Ash]

First time since Robins took over that we haven't scored!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Should have won 5-2, such a shame. Didn't know how to play 4-4-2

 

[TheParsonsHose]

Yep all over we lost 1-0 despite eleventy billion chances

 

[Houchens Head]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[skybluedan87]

bah humbug:facepalm:

 

[covmark]

Its all well and good beating promotion contenders, but if we want to go up we need to beat strugglers at home

 

[SkyblueBazza]

Who saw that one coming???

You couldn't make it up could you???

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Left early in the end. Sick to the teeth of watching that.

 

[Covstar]

4-4-2 is not for us. We dominated the whole game with a trillion chances that we failed to put away. On another day it could easily have been 4 or 5-1. Nevertheless I'm only counting this as a small blip. Still 20 odd games to go and if we keep performing like this there is no reason to believe we will be right up there in the top 6 come end of the season.

was it that bad?

Doubled by one of the worst teams I've ever seen us play. Flaming joke.

 

[stupot07]

Our home record is awful played 13 won 3 drew 5 lost 5.

We created a quite a few chances however we were very poor defensively and Shrewsbury carved us open 6 or 7 times quite easily. We need to improve defensively you can't be giving away so many chances.

Adams was probably MOTM with only Jennings and sheffers playing well. The rest were either poor or mixed bag.

Hardly a surprise if you look at our home record.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

was it that bad?

Just so poor in the final third and failed to handle the long ball.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Mom grandison??

 

[The CableGuy]

Shrews were unbeaten in their last 5. Never was going to be an easy game today.

Still, 21 attempts on goal. Disappointing (and a tad unlucky) not to convert at least 1 of those.

how did clarke do when he came on?

 

[Grendel]

Doubled by one of the worst teams I've ever seen us play. Flaming joke.

They played pretty deep and invited us to play through them but the midfield was found wanting today.

Also mcgoldrick was shocking and baker not a lot better given that the result was no surprise. When the goals are not going in then there is always going to be a problem as we rarely do not concede.

Mcsheffrey will get lambasted for his misses bit take his shots away and we created very little.

Looked fairly bright but it caused McG to drop deeper for some reason.

We could've let in half a dozen- we also could've scored as many but for an ounce of shooting ability.

 

[Otis]

I was convinced we would win, even when we went 1-0 down. Was still certain we would do it.

A mixture of poor finishing, ill-luck and good defending proved our downfall.

We still should have won though, no doubt about it.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

21 attempts on goal. Didn't only create 2 chances!! Macca's miss when played through was the miss that destroyed us!

 

[Bill Glazier]

Well said - there was always going to be the odd slip up. PUSB
