Has everyone calmed down yet? Having slept on it I'm still well down in the dumps, angry, depressed, disillusioned and generally on a downer after last nights result. Hit me like a banjo that...no excuses from the management or players of Shrewsbury Town...it aint good enough, simple as...
What a run of results from a club chasing promotion...
Shrewsbury 1-0 Woking
Shrewsbury 3-1 Leigh RMI
FGR 1-1 Shrewsbury
Telford 2-1 Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury 1-2 Aldershot
Hereford 2-1 Shrewsbury
Barnet 0-1 Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury 2-2 Exeter
Telford 1-0 Shrewsbury
...great start to March (although I said at the time that the win versus Leigh RMI is probably the worst performance I have ever seen from the Town) but then five points from a possible 18 and dumped out of the Trophy by Telford. Five points from a possible 18...20 points behind Chester at the top of the table...
Well, we all knew we'd know a lot more about the Town after the recent run of fixtures and it doesn't make happy viewing. We've been found wanting big time...still at least the difficult run of fixtures is at an end (bar Chester) and we can look forward to games that 'should' provide us with an opportunity to gain the points required to make the play-offs...fingers crossed...I'm still confident we can make the play-offs...
...but then our past results against those clubs in the play-off places doesn't fill you with confidence if we were to make the play-offs does it?
Sorry to say that I'm happy to read on the B&A message board that both the management and players received a bit of abuse last night from the Town fans who made the short journey down to Telford. From what I could hear they sang, cheered and encouraged the lads throughout (to all those who bark on about getting behind the lads and not on their back, well they did and now do you see what difference it makes yeah? Naff all if the team isn't performing!!!) and did all that they could to spur the Town on...only to be rewarded with another three points dropped to a club that is sitting 12th in the table, in turmoil, is playing three times a week, played extra time and pens and were dumped out of the Trophy the previous Saturday...I think our lads deserved a bit of stick yeah? Or?..
