Letter to The Shropshire Star- sportspost:- "Let's get back to the basics I don't put pen to paper very often, but when you witness such inept performances as I and the long-suffering Shrewsbury Town fans have over the past few weeks I had to. No pride, no passion, no want-to-win attitude. It looks as if some of the so-called players are just picking up money for nothing, because that's what they are putting in: Nothing. You can single out players if you wish, but look at the team as a whole: The defence is a shambles, spend most of the match either shouting at the keeper, or hoofing the ball as far up the field in any direction as they can. Midfield? Have we really got one? They sit so far back we play as if we have eight defenders and can't win the second ball. Forwards? They have to track back to win the ball to go forward with no support Do the players know that we play in blue? Do they actually train together? Is manager Jimmy Quinn watching the same team as the rest of us? It's time to get back to basics - a bit of pride, lots of passion, far more effort. Let's look as if we want to win something. If we really want to get out of this league we need to put in the effort to achieve that. Looking at it we will still be here struggling next season. Stephen Bennett, Meole Brace, Shrewsbury" (Copy and paste job- sorry I'm so slow- I'm an I.T. whizzkid- NOT!!!!!!!

I should say that is a fair opinion of the way we are playing at the moment

Sounds quite reasonable to me too. It's Hearts-on-sleeves time, no point with the fancy-dan stuff now!

Reading it through again, he does make a fair appraisal.
He does say "You can single out players if you wish."
I think it's a fair comment about the general attitude; the lack of pride and passion.
I must admit, I've said the same myself, many times, regarding the lack of a want-to-win attitude.
I thought he failed to single out individuals for a bit of deserved recognition- but he's talking about the overall lack of commitment.

Anyone who witnessed the Celtic performance in Barcelona will know the type of commitment and attitude expected...
