Another point gained yesterday, but need more still with other teams still picking up points.
Bristol Rovers stumbling form (haven't scored in last 4), means it's definitely up for grabs.
Shipley still out so could be same XI who mostly did pretty well against Oxford. But fitness issues could mean some changes. Bayliss unknown but wouldn't be surprised to see O'Brien or Perry drop out as they looked tired. Start for Sobowale possibly? Tulloch possibly if he is fit. Even Idowu who put in the cross for the goal could have an outside chance.
Hinchy hasn't played consistently either but thought he played well so reckon he will still start.
What are ticket sales looking like? Would expect a decent turnout

Would expect a decent turnout hinchy was fantastic at breaking up play yesterday, stole the ball no end of times, equally his distribution wasnt great but yeas he has to start

Still can’t make up my mind if 50 is needed or not. A lot might be answered Monday. Either way it’s still a must win game.
I’m gonna say two more wins. I still think in the last 15 years across the two bottom divisions only one team has been relegated with 50 points. I might be wrong.

Our best chance of a win. Would make the point look very very good.

Plymouth and Oldham aren’t one team - spaghetti lolonaise!

Thankfully because I'm not sure we will get that many but I'm fairly confident we will stay up.

Definitely squeeky bum time. If we lose and others around us win then the pressure really cranks up. Like others have said we need to win this but our ability to get results 2 games consecutively isn’t great but our away form is decent. I’d take a point right now.
I can’t see Price starting sadly as it sounds like we’re going to have to manage his minutes. Fingers crossed Bayliss is back & produces a bit of magic! Will be watching on ifollow.

I know grizzly.....and in my opinion.thats why they reduced the size of the pitch,over the last 3/4 years.....a fitness one,rather than tactical,and it's there for all to see now

Certainly hoping that O'Brien isn't dropped anyhow, I think he looked very good down the left flank along with Benning. I think a lot of a best stuff came down that flank against Oxford. Even if its just for the hour I think we need to play him.
Considering more tickets were allocated for the seating section there should be a good following and I reckon that stand will mean a fair amount of noise. As for the game, I doubt either are favorites to much of a degree. Perform as we did against Oxford and I think we have a very good chance down there. Come on Town!!

At some point in the few games left O'Brien will score, and it will be a vital goal in our meagre total, perhaps THE vital goal. Vying with Price for producing the goal that could be identified as the one that keeps us up.

I'm getting to the stage where I think he might offer O'brien another contract (as daft as it sounds). He clearly has a better relationship with Hurst and I think he'd suddenly not be as "home sick " if offered a new deal. Would obviously be on reduced terms, but stranger things have happened....?

I invisage Marosi, Dunkley, Flanagan, Bowman, Bennett, Bayliss and Aiden O'Brien will not be Shrewsbury Town footballers next season.

Tbh,I hope a lot of them do go....as proved by our struggles this season.... I'm relying on Hurst to do what he does best....and pick some bargains up again.....another 5/6 like Rodman will do👍👍

I invisage Marosi, Dunkley, Flanagan, Bowman, Bennett, Bayliss and Aiden O'Brien will not be Shrewsbury Town footballers next season. Mostly agree with that but add Udoh unless he can be persuaded to stay. Also, outside chance of O'Brien staying on lower money and Bennett if he's happy with a sub role. I think the summer activities will be more interesting than most of the football we've seen until recently.

Team selection will be interesting tomorrow. The 3 subs made an impact on Friday. There's been a case for starting O'Brien for a while now. Will we see Tulloch? Is Bayliss available? Will Hinchy be rotated out?

A gloomy April 1st, too many persecuted innocent people in the world, I just don't feel like All Fool's Day pranks. Hoping the team can lift my spirits by making fools of Bristol Rovers.

I really hope you are wrong, I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole How many times would Hurst have to back him in selection & in interviews about his character for opinion to change? Genuine question for anyone that still has a thing against AOB. It’s another one we really don’t know the truth and Hurst keeps alluding to the truth having been stretched in the past.

Can't see it. He's picking him over Tulloch and Idowu. It's not saying that much. He's happier but think that says more of his relationship with the previous managers
