Taming of the Shrews.....match thread.

[Reesh]

We've managed just one League win ever over Shrewsbury and just one win of any kind in the last 40 years competitively.

They've sold over 700 so far.

Ref is Andy Woolmer.

Last season Wee Baz missed a penalty at 1-0 that should have sealed the game, obviously we drew. Be grateful he's no longer on pens.

[Owling_Wolf]

Them and Oxford: I spent most of the 1970s hiding behind the wardrobe!   😱

(Results, not fans.)  Bloody nighmares.   😬

I'll take our penalties on Saturday if need be!

Last thing we need against them is 22 minutes additional time

The only positive memory of playing Oxford is when we scored late on to end that very long sequence of “Sheffield Wednesday nil”s in ‘75.

Even then, it only made it 1-1.

Absolutely none of the past results have any influence on Saturday. We'll be fine.

Yeah say that at Derby as well.....

 

Pfft.

My neighbour is a Shrews fan. I was hoping we’d be able to give him a bit of shit this weekend, but he’s away on holiday…. So, at least if they were to continue their decent run against us; I won’t get shit for a week or so!

Steve Cotterill has his say on Wednesday

I like SC, highly competent manager, be a tough game 

He's a right fucking knob.

Given our historic track record against this lot and my track record of home results this season, I think I should stay 130 miles away 

[Reesh]

Probably be off if the rain carries on

Wednesday 3-0

Smith x2

Bannan 

[HoylandOwl]

Hoodoo to be broken. We win 2-1 with Dunkley to score for them, just because.

[HoylandOwl]

Shrewsbury are struggling with injuries….

More words from their manager from Shrewsburytown.com

Interesting to read what he says about 'when they sing their song' talking about Hi Ho Silver lining of course. 

[Paul from Wisewood]

Take it he means the camp ‘hi ho silver lining’ as we don’t sing owt else

at Old Trafford?

[owl71]

I’m not the superstitious type.  The idea that one club can somehow be another’s “bogey” team, over the decades, despite countless changes of personnel, well it’s just completely bloody illogical.  Having said that, our record against these Salopian ***** is very bloody annoying.  In the 84 promotion season we win 4-2 at home against a Newcastle side with Keegan, Waddle and Beardsley.   Next home game we draw 1-1 with Shrewsbury.  In Carlos’ first season we beat Arsenal 3-0 in the League Cup, then a few months later we get giant killed in the FA Cup…by guess fucking who.

Time to bury this shit and give them a proper hammering.

He said earlier that Famewa's not ready yet.  Just slip James into the three and Johners in at LWB?  

[KrolMong]

I’ve completely given up on superstition now, both in life in general and from a playing and watching football perspective.

We’ll win handsomely tomorrow.

Hoooray!!!!!

Nice header McGuinness 

[Beaconowl]

Wish the final whistle’s around the grounds would blow right now

[MAL]

Dingles 1-1

[Kiwi Owl]

That first half felt like it was a training match of attack v defence. 

We could really get in behind this side and cause them all sorts of problems if we run down the wings. Someone has to be put on that right side as well given Mighten and James are working well on the left. It looks like its Iorfa all on his own.

Burton 1 - 1 Plymouth
