Would quite happily never see any of the following players in a Town shirt again: Shipley, Bayliss, Flanagan, Udoh, Perry, Bloxham, Dunkley, Bowman. The Ratcliffe relegation side would beat this lot. Not quite sure how Hurst and Doig can escape criticism either. Churning out regular garbage performances that are no better than the much maligned Taylor and Ricketts. Hurst and Doig have inherited this team. They’re garbage performances because we’ve got a garbage squad. Give them a full summer.

Yes, huge changes in the summer. But right now there's still work to do for Hurst and players. Unless the players have another career in mind then they still need to impress enough to get another club to sign them. Better roll up their sleeves and get on with it at a high profile Bolton game, as attempted at Portsmouth the other week.

Shockingly bad from start to finish. So many misplaced places, little composure and, from some, apparently little commitment. Why fans chanted Flanagan's name as he trudged off, I don't know. The sending off was the turning point but we deserved nothing from that game regardless. Wycombe were very ordinary but that's all they had to be. Leahy scoring just rubbed salt into the wound. We were terrible and and are now reduced to hoping there are four worse teams than us. Given the high stakes, that was one of worst performances I've seen. They either looked like they had downed tools already or know that most of them are not going to be here next season. One can only hope that the Vale and Cheltenham players continue to play to similar abysmal standards as we have done this afternoon. From their results today it would seem that they might well be doing so!

A touch of class by Luke Leahy and Mccleary for holding the corner and clapping for Morgan on 41 minutes.
Apart from that nothing else to say apart from what a plonker you are Flanagan.

They know they won’t be here next season and I suspect the coach has made no secret of that fact to them. Perhaps there’s a lot to be said for not discussing the future until seasons are over.
The coach has to take some responsibility for what is going on. He’s been here since January and you are all still moaning. As I say everywhere the buck stops at the top and on the field that’s him.
As for Flanagan I’m disgusted. I’d rather play the young loanees than old idiots who should know better. Professional footballer - I don’t think so. Yet again. We’ve been taken for mugs.

They have been with this squad long enough to learn there strengths and teach them thier style. It is Hurst's job motivate and man manage. I never doubted the commitment under MT (just the tactics and team selection). It has always been a very difficult task for Hurst and he has done a great job at saving us from relegation and I am quietly excited for next season but it has concerned me how this team has been allowed to perform. Too many players guaranteed starting places after inept performances.

Assuming that the extra year's options are on the part of the Club, the only players still under contract for next season are Feeney, Shipley, Winchester, Perry, Idowu, Bloxham and Mata.
Idowu and Mata still have 2 more years to run!

They can all, aside from Marosi and Dunkley, do one. Even Udoh.
There was no effort, they looked on the beach and we didn't even try.
Actually glad I've not renewed now.

Wycombe were already on the beach
Flanagan was getting a free kick
Salop were getting at least a point
Micky Moore needs to get his P45

He’s been terrible this season. Look at todays second Wycombe goal, simple pass to Price was all that was needed from 5 yards and he rolled it straight to their CB on which they went onto score from. With the budget being cut, Marosi, Dunkley, Flanagan, Bayliss, etc who are all high earners will be gone. Only players I would keep would be Marosi, Sraha, Price and Udoh. Unfortunately (or fortunately to some people) the only one that will stay will be Sraha as he’s young and cheap and somebody we can potentially make money on further down the line. Can’t wait to see the back of this team. Has to be up there with one of the most boring seasons we’ve had, what with the lack of goals.

Idowu and Mata still have 2 more years to run! Idowu is only 22 Mata is only 23 They still have plenty of scope to develop so they could easily become effective league 1 players. It is also worth noting that that Perry is only 22 and Bloxham is only 20. If they develop their game we could make some decent money of them players. I'd like to keep Sraha who is only 21 but does not seem too far away. I was surprised to see that Nurse is only 24, seems like he has been here for ages. Hopefully he can forfil his potential and get back to his best sooner rather than later. For reference Feeney is 25, Shipley is 26 and Winchester is 31. We have the makings of a much younger squad next season. A model I can definitely get on board with.

Man alive that was poor. For alot of us older ones (let's be brutally honest) it's not the money that you want to spend doing something else. It's got to the stage where I'd rather give my money to a Donkey sanctuary to not go. There's no cohesion in anything they do in home games. The thing I always notice at home games is the pitch. Second bounce and it's going over a player ! It's like watching a power ball that ya messed around with as a kid! All of them can go for me with the exception of two players. Feeney. I feel for him. Slotting in for right back last ten minutes is one thing. Every f"""""g game ! What professional club goes the full season without a right back 🤔! And Shipley. His wages won't tempt anyone for his last year and next season he will be our 'go to ' player for something different in a team that's bound to be cheap and cheerful... You already are. And have been doing so since August.

I did enjoy him ripping off Taylor Perry's head a couple of times in the first half though.

The Ratcliffe team would just about take care of this lot. Imo just a bunch of fourth rate players who are happy to pick up a wage. I really thought Udoh was a prospect,I suppose that's why I'm a fan and not a scout.

Marosi has built himself a lot of credit in recent weeks, perhaps the last 3 years. Feeney is always solid and Winchester is always combative, I wonder if its no coincidence that they are two still in contract next season?

I’m hoping Hurst finds some poor League 2/National League team to take him off our hands. Good riddance to him.

That just sums up the season for me. Totally underwhelming, boring for the large part against a perfectly beatable side.
I'm not usually pro getting rid of lots of players but what else can the club do at this point. The performances on the pitch are just dreadful. Sooner this season finishes the better.
If it doesn't get better next season, think towns league one run will be at an end. And I'm not totally sure I care
what I don't fully get is the blame on the poor quality of the squad when most of the core were here last season - Marosi, Dunkley, Flanagan, Winchester, Shipley, Bayliss, Udoh and Bloxham all started today and were here last season. The only new ones are Feeney, Perry and Benning. They might not be world beaters but they definitely aren't bad enough to make a fairly decent team for parts of last season more or less hopeless for large parts of this season.
Anyway, time to think about less depressing things. Enjoy your evenings everyone 👍

Marosi - had nothing to do, commanded his area well Dunkley - won everything, solid. Flanagan - still don't think its a red, very good before that. Feeney - Solid but nothing going forward Benning - did nothing of note Shipley - 0/10 performance, put one cross in and I can't remember him touching the ball again Bayliss - -10/10 performance, had the ball plenty and lost it every time. Perry - at least tried but wasted a great opportunity that would have probably given us the 3 points Bloxham - confidence clearly shot, poor touch, poor passing and no direct running Udoh - tried but had no chance I rarely agree with Booing but today the players deserved it. Totally unacceptable performance by a squad of players that have probably accepted they wont be here next season. Hurst allowed his players to put in that performance. I would have been making 5 subs at 60 minutes. Leahy showing his class by not celebrating and going around the home crowd at full time clapping the fans. Disagree on a couple of these. Marosi - really poor distribution, had nothing to do. Dunkley - won headers but when it was on the ground he was too grabby and got beaten too easily. Flanagan - agree, good until the red card. Feeney - a couple of fantastic through balls and defended well - our only attacking threat. Benning - agree, a really quiet game for him. Shipley - agree, really anonymous for him. Bayliss - agree was woeful. Perry - headless chicken, why did he cross when Feeney put him clean through ? Bloxham - to quote Jimmy Greaves : "he trapped the ball further than I could kick it" Udoh - agree, tried but to little effect. [br Dunkley I think has had a pretty poor second half of the season after being the standout player in the first half. Think the back 3 definitely suited him. Stand in the middle winning headers. RCB is a different role and I think with the ball and positionally he has really struggled at times.

That's literally his job title. His job is to get the best out of the players he has, and coaching them to get good performances. He seems to be struggling with this. As said above a lot of this squad were doing a lot better last season and many of them are highly paid experienced pros. I think Hurst definitely still has some blame at his door. Would not be surprised to see several of them leave to join league one clubs and do an awful lot better than they have been

Hard to have a sensible debate with someone who claims to hate a town player but i'll try. He lacks composure and his decision making is suspect but he has talent. He has a great shot on him, he works his ass off, he makes good runs and he has good ball control. HE IS 22 YEARS OLD. A good 5/6 years before he hits his peak. If he was the whole ticket at his age he would be nowhere near Shrewsbury town fc. Remember how rubbish we all thought Udoh was before he got here?

We are supporters of Shrewsbury Town FC and care. The players are not and dont. Simple as. Most wont be with us next season anyway so why would they care what division the club is in next season. Flannagan can now concentrate on holiday planning and finding a new club without fear of injury and still get paid. Will he be sad and upset tonight after being sent off and letting the club down. Very very doubtful.

It was only a great run against poor teams post Christmas that made the table look better. We also had SC who for all his faults was a decent tactician and managed to unite the squad.
