---

[Monners]

Just a feeling in the old bones, but a I think a defeat may be on the way.

 

[Otis]

wheres everyone drinking before the match?

In the Pit of Despair.

 

[vow]

In the Pit of Despair.

Do they do real ale?

 

[Cov kid 55]

who really cares?

Me.

 

[Cov kid 55]

If we play the team we started the second half at Bury with - 3-1 Cov.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Fair play to anyone who goes, me and grandson had this down as one of our away days.
But just can't be bothered after last Saturday.

 

[fernandopartridge]

After 2 dreadful games I'm giving this a miss. Shame as I believe Shrewsbury is a good piss up.

Dont blame you at all. I'm going but it could well be my last away game this season (except Wembley). Getting sick of driving all the miles and spunking money to watch shite performances week after week, Tuesdays first half just about tin hatted it.

Last time we went, August 2013 it was a draw 1-1, stayed over in The Shrewsbury, anyhow after the match we went to the boozer, Brooklands Hotel by the ground where we got talking to some Shrews fans, one of which was an impersonator, so asked firstly "hows business", he says "non-exisitent atm" I say "why's that, who do you do?" he replies "Gary Glitter".
Well, I could't stop laughing, poor fella!
And yes it's a good piss up in the Town centre, some lovely ol' pubs, very scenic.

What about the second half - a spirited performance. Just need 90 minutes like that. Saturday, perhaps? Need to play an attack minded team, nothing to lose.

 

[mrtrench]

just random players plonked in random positions across the pitch.

Except the Yak, who will resolutely defend 1 sq yard all match.

 

[Nick]

We are due at least 1 win before the end of the season, so I am going to predict it every week until it happens

 

[Edgey95]

Jones & Beavon to start

 

[Paxman II]

I'll be amazed if we win this one. The players confidence under Slade must be rock bottom.
I'd like to see the Checkatrade team put out there tbh.

 

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

Be happy to see this:

RCC

DKE - Willis - Clarke - Haynes

G Thomas - Reilly - Bigi/Stevenson/Rose/Foley/Gadzhev - Jones

Beavon - K Thomas

We will see that? Will we fuck

Yes, a nigh on 6 hour round trip in shit traffic make 45 minutes of ok'ish football a worthwhile exercise. I can't recall when we last put in a full 90 minute performance. Fingers crossed Saturday will be the first of a few.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Might as well go all out attack now, there is nothing to lose

Have to say I predict a loss, but as another on here posted I can't believe you can get better than evens on a Shrewsbury win (won 5 in a row at home- ridiculously generous odds - ought to be able to fund our club's deficit in one fell swoop). Knowing City we'd then go and upset the apple cart. In all seriousness though, we should at least have a go with players in correct positions (no square pegs in round holes) and attack them.

[ccfc92]

Odds are ridiculous for a shrews win.

Evens aren't they?

 

[ccfc92]

Do they do real ale?

Only Doombar.

Sorry

 

[ccfc92]

City win.

0-2.

Pusb

 

[Otis]

City win.

0-2.

Pusb

Yeah, why not.

Not sure we are capable of a clean sheet though.

 

[ccfc92]

Yeah, why not.

Not sure we are capable of a clean sheet though.

On that basis, 6-1 Shrews

 

[vow]

Only Doombar.

Sorry

Bah, Doombar does suck indeed, well, if not kept properly.

 

[ccfc92]

I should have maybe emphasised the DOOM part

Do they do real ale?

Just bitter

 

[Gazolba]

Yeah, why not.

Not sure we are capable of a clean sheet though.

The only place we'll find a clean sheet is in the toilets. And maybe not even then.
2-1 defeat.

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

What they on about there's no chance of any fireworks from our limp attack

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

...is there such a thing as "Shrewsbury" Police ?

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

Yes and he has his own bicycle clips
