So now our league 1 status is confirmed I think it would be good time to talk about an eventful season.
Sum up our season in one word Favourite game Favourite moment Best goal Worst performance Player of the season (and why) Worst player of the season (and why) Would you class the season a success after what happened in the summer? What would be the minimum next season you would class as a successful season?
Lastly what do you plan to do on a Saturday during the close season?

To survive what happened is a credit to the chairman What would be the minimum next season you would class as a successful season? Survival, on paper maybe just 4 clubs potentially worse than us, its going to be a mammoth task again Lastly what do you plan to do on a Saturday during the close season? argue on B&A

Sum up the season in one word -agony Favourite game - Northampton away Favourite moment - when the final whistle went today and we were safe Best goal - Shipley in home game against Fleetwood - great team passing move and an assured finish Worst performance - home game v Wycombe Player of the season - Jordan Shipley - very hard to be an attacking player in this team but he has scored some sensational goals Worst player of the season - not going to answer this as it would be disrespectful - I am sure all the players were doing their best in difficult circumstances This season has not been a success - we did survive but the lack of attacking play and goals has been unacceptable For success next season we need to be above 17th position and score an average of at least one goal per game Lots of long country walks for me on close season Saturdays

Sum up our season in one word : Backwards ! Favourite game : Port Vale (as a game I went to) but either of the Reading games or Notts County Cup game seem fun on the radio and were likely better than most I watched. Favourite moment : The excitement of Hurst's return Best goal : One I saw (there haven't been many) Udoh away at Vale, but Shipleys at Reading was one of the best I've seen in years. Worst performance : Wycombe at home, Portsmouth at Home, Wrexham at home (performance wasn't as bad but the feeling was) Player of the season (and why) : I'm going to give it to Feeney for playing out of position, mention to Marosi and Benning. Worst player of the season (and why) : Taylor Perry followed by Bayliss, Kennah and Mata Would you class the season a success after what happened in the summer? : Not particularly given the process of last season but it could have ended much worse. What would be the minimum next season you would class as a successful season? : Progression, it shouldn't be hard, a top half finish and two wins against Wrexham.
Lastly what do you plan to do on a Saturday during the close season? : It's the cricket season.

Sum up our season in one word : t*** Favourite game : The first half against Leeds when we absolutely stood up to them and our fans were class Favourite moment : Hurst coming back Best goal : Shipley at Reading Worst performance : Wrexham was the most frustrating, they were there for the taking, and you don't do it in that game against them. Player of the season (and why) : Marosi Worst player of the season (and why) : Mata - awful signing given he was where we put our money and banked on his goals Would you class the season a success after what happened in the summer? : Just a hard reality check What would be the minimum next season you would class as a successful season? : 16th Lastly what do you plan to do on a Saturday during the close season? : Fishing for Carp

Sum up our season in one word - Shrewsbury. Done the hard way, but done nonetheless. Favourite game - Fleetwood (H), the only win I have seen. Favourite moment - Hurst's return. He brought some of the best times I have seen supporting Shrewsbury! Best goal - Kenneh vs Fleetwood, a very limited selection to choose from! Worst performance - Stevenage (A), no plan, no entertainment, just panic. Player of the season (and why) - Marosi, made some vital saves in our few wins. Worst player of the season (and why) - Mata, money spent (when tight) on a player who contributed very little and was shipped off 6 months later. Would you class the season a success after what happened in the summer? No, described as the same budget and with a group of players that are technically capable. I don't want a lot from Shrewsbury, just to be a bit safer from relegation would be lovely (17th welcomed). Plus any cup runs are a bonus. What would be the minimum next season you would class as a successful season? See above.
Lastly what do you plan to do on a Saturday during the close season? Wander around aimlessly...

Sum up our season in one word: Turgid
Favourite game: Vale Away.
Favourite moment: Price's goal. Enjoyed that and felt it was essential job done.
Best goal: Shipley's team goal. Showed we could play pass and move attacking football.
Worst performance: Wycombe at home. Hateful game, I've seen plenty of games we deserved to lose to better sides and i can accept those games, against Wycombe they simply didn't care/try/do anything basic right. I'd have hairdryered the lot of them for hours.
Player of the season (and why) Benning for his improved performance and going from what seemed an awful signing to a must start gem. Excellent. But its really Marosi and doesn't that say it all. 😕
Worst player of the season (and why). Hard to dig a worse individual player. They've all had moments in truth of being shocking. Inexperienced youngsters, senior player's not bothered, who really can stand out? Matt Taylor for me. Out of his depth and with a squad that should have easily finished 12th managed to prove academy management means sweet FA.
Would you class the season a success after what happened in the summer? No. We should have just brought Hurst out of his contract rather than messing around with Taylor. We've wasted another season on dull, unattractive, unacceptable football. And now with a majority of talented players out of contract and leaving.
What would be the minimum next season you would class as a successful season? Not to be in a relegation battle at all at any point. Mid table obscurity will do. Beat Wrexham twice and a half decent cup run.
Lastly what do you plan to do on a Saturday during the close season? More mini weekends away with the better half and generally having a more enjoyable time than this waste of a season.

Not going to fill in all the criteria but this season, in particular the first half is one that almost made me fall out of love with football and STFC. The most pathetic, tedious, unambitious football I’ve ever seen from a Shrewsbury team, I was almost embarrassed to watch us. To then have to listen to the head coach claim we were playing well was just too much to take. 18 goals in 28 games, thank god that’s over.
Hurst’s return hasn’t turned us into world beaters, the home games have still been dire but there’s been some excellent and memorable away results. His return match against Northampton was the best game of the season, I was sceptical of his return but he ripped up the crappy defensive nonsense and we dominated an away game, and have gained many more creditable away results.
Going into the summer with a degree of pessimism about potential squad changes, but also a degree of confidence in that whatever he gets given, he’ll give us a fighting chance.

Interesting reflections from Udoh in his post match interview.
Having one shot per game or even per 2 games under the old regime. Compared to 3 shots per half under Hurst and Doig.

It’s been an awful, awful season driven by rudderless leadership from the top, a clown in the middle and a PE teacher at the bottom for over half of it
I’d say our worst season in my lifetime
The fact we’ve finally made safety mathematical is a huge relief, but it truly had been an embarrassing season

His return match against Northampton was the best game of the season PH was only through the door a day or two before that match. I think the performance was more the players having Taylors shackles removed rather than anything PH said. Maybe a 'shiw me what you can do' motivation.

Two words after a turbulent season right through the hierarchy from CEO downwards: Ship steadied.
Now MM to work with PH to bring the right players in at the right cost, a PH and Doig pre-season and off we go next season.

Given all the turmoil both on and off the pitch, I'm just thankful that we've ended the season still as a league one club.
Fresh investment in the club is something that we are crying out for, whether or not that happens next season is of course the big and unknown question.

Before Hurst the performances were dire (even when we got results), just glad it’s over and we stayed up. Much more optimistic about near season with Hurst in charge.

Our financial situation will seriously influence how we do next season. Even with Hurst I dont see us being in a position to trouble the top half of the table. Nobodies fault but just the way it is. Lots of cuts at the club including the return to the Meadow from Sundorne of the Academy and work carried out by volunteers will help but not enough for us to bring much better players in. SC had a luxury tenure at the club. PH will be strictly bargain basement. To remain in League 1 will once again be the aim but I am hoping more entertaining. Ian McNeil I remember had a poor season as manager but boy was it entertaining.

Our financial situation will seriously influence how we do next season. That indeed is the question many supporters will be thinking about over the summer months, me included. Without fresh investment I fear that next season could really see us struggle to compete, unless Hurst can pull a rabbit or two out of the hat.

Hurst’s return hasn’t turned us into world beaters, the home games have still been dire but there’s been some excellent and memorable away results. On the Barnsley thread, the form guide was mentioned. I didn't realise how bad ours was, no wins in 6 and only 5 goals in those 6 games. Ok, it wasn't the easiest of run in's but even so, we are luckly that the only teams worse than us over the past month have been Cheltenham and Vale I make it 4 wins from 17 under Hurst, 1 home win during that time. Hurst has given us a bit of fight but let's not pretend we are only one or two good players from doing well next season. We need a major overhaul and as things stand, don't have the finances to bring in any quality. Sorry, for the depressing nature of the post, I'm delighted we have stayed up and with a week to spare. But I'd expect us to start as one of the favourites for relegation next season

Sum up our season in one word Relief Favourite game Northampton away Favourite moment Northampton away, knowing things were going to get better Best goal Bloxham away at Reading. Worst performance Burton awayPlayer of the season (and why) Marosi, kept us in so many games under Matt Taylor Worst player of the season (and why) Phillips, what was the point of signing someone you can't really play? Would you class the season a success after what happened in the summer? Before a ball was kicked would have taken 20th, but seeing how bad so many sides in the Division are we made very hard work of staying up What would be the minimum next season you would class as a successful season? 16th Lastly what do you plan to do on a Saturday during the close season? What closed season? Still got five local Cup Finals then preparing for next season with the League I am Secretary of. Going to five games at Euros and got a week at the Olympics. Plus going to John O'Groats to see friend complete Lands End to John O'Groats bike ride. Need to find time to have a holiday

I agree that some of the performances under Hurst have been as bad (if not worse) than under Taylor, however these are not Hurst's players. Next season it will be his team, if we are having similar performances then I have no doubt the PHBA shouts will be few & far between
