And yet an enjoyment and performance level that so far eclipses the former incumbents it's unable to be measured. Not sure about that. Some people have been moaning on here about the style of play and being bored very recently. Some people aye, not me however. Since hurst has come back I look forward to town games and by the looks of it the players do to.

We really need to keep Udoh. Him and Bloxham could be a real force next season if we get the midfield to support them. He's had a contract offer ok the table for a long time hasn't he? Think there is probably a reason he hasn't signed and probably no coincidence that he's hit a bit of goalscoring form towards the end of his contract. Definitely more of a chance he will sign than others but still think probably more likely he will seek a better contract elsewhere

A battling performance worthy of a point today. Well done to Hurst and the lads. We were excellent first half. Marco had hardly anything to do all game.
Marosi - 7
Benning - 7 Anderson - 7 Dunkley - 7 Feeney - 8 Sobowale - 8
Shipley - 7 Winchester - 7 Bloxham - 7
Udoh - 7

Well done town.....and for hursty and doig for keeping us up.......now onwards and upwards. UTS and they have a worse point per game record this season than Taylor & Bignot Both points averages across the season would put us in exactly the same place as town are in the table right now! Is 18th the new 17th??

Please please please, let's not get into a discussion - one inevitably without a meaningful conclusion - about the perceived failings of previous managers - and breathe a collective sigh of relief and relax. Now is not the time for pointless, sterile arguments! Focus on the future of Shrewsbury Town FC

Just shame he can't finish! It is interesting that some of Hursts better performances have been with a back 3 - ie the formation these players were brought into play. The back 3 and Sobowale have looked so much more comfortable in this set up. And going forward Bloxham and Udoh have linked up for 2 in 2. And Shipley more effective too Interesting to see over the summer what Hurst (and possibly Moore) decide is the way to go.

Good result and relived that we’re safe, but no Salop fan should be in celebratory mood tonight let’s be honest here. It’s been an utter shambles of a season, yet again at this level. This is our 9th consecutive year being a League One club, seven of those nine seasons have been boring, tedious, shambolic, etc. The club has become stagnant and it can't keep going on with survival being the main aim again next season. Big summer ahead awaits.. Broadly speaking, I accept your feelings, but looking to the future, and whilst acknowledging the efforts of Messrs Hurst and Doig, and having confidence in them, I'm not sure how we can both offload players who are thought not to be good enough, and simultaneously have the funds to bring in players who are better. A big summer indeed!

Is 18th the new 17th?? What odds a Town win next weekend with Reading losing. I might have a cheeky tenner on that.

At least town have turned up for the last two games and combined with Lincoln's win , we don't have to have a squeaky bum last game.
I can't say iv enjoyed this season as there has been far to many dire performances and to many games were players did not turn up.
What happens next season will depend on who will owning the club, what funds will be available. Will Hurst be able to gets y say over the players who come in. I really hope the director of football goes.
Well done to the travelling fans and all town fans who have stuck with town, I hope you all stay safe and healthy and I will see you next season, I'm missing the last game as my wife booked tickets for Cluedo and I will be wearing a frying pan if I don't go.

He has been a great servant and has probably been on a wage nowhere near what he has been worth to us. If he goes to another club on more money then he deserves it.

Hurst said he would not look at contracts till he knew what league we would be in . Let us hope we can bring in better players, you would expect them to be fit next year.
If Hurst has any say over the signings it will be his team, as we all expect a big clear out of the useless players we have had to put up with this year.

Survival was the main aim this season especially given everything that has gone on this season. Dust ourselves down & see if we can get some gems & on loan diamonds like we did in Hurst’s first season. I’d be happy with mid table obscurity with a mild flirtation with the play offs! No drama next season please!

Well done to PH and Doig and the players who just about got us over the line . It has been as tedious a season as I can remember though and I hope suspect there will be a huge turnover in the summer and the team will be much fitter next season

The 784 deserved that - what a cracking following after a terrible season

Well, what a great day. I converted an Arsenal fan into a Town Devotee (my daughter's partner) too. As for Sobowale, I think he's the most skilful player in the squad. He's too good for those around him. Bloxham was MOTM. Great to see so many Town fans in attendance too.

Feeney seems to be the main man now, he's having a strong end to the season,
Well done to all those that went, Hurst seems to have a good record against Charlton and their lovely lovely fans. I look forward to taking them on next season on better terms.
