Well in good news we now get to travel to Bolton who've recently rediscovered their scoring and winning touch.
Think the time has come for a switch to 3 5 2. Match Bolton up and try and get in their faces.
Will give some internal organs for a point.

Match Bolton up and try and get in their faces. Will give some internal organs for a point. Do think we'd be better off forcing Benning and Hoole forward given they aren't impressing defensively. But we'd inevitably just end up with a back five. Part of me almost wants us to follow Ossie Ardilles' "Famous Five", and play 4-1-2-3. Savin Hoole, Feeney, Feeney, Nurse (if fit) Rossiter/Perry/Winchester (depending on fitness) O'Reilly, Castledine Bloxham, Lloyd, Sagoe Jr Very gung-ho, would be likely to concede hatfuls... but we don't stand a chance of winning at this current point in time |

We need to change something up front. So we can get some goals. Whatever formation we go with it is a trade off in some way. I think we need to go 4,4,2 so Lloyd has someonee to play off so we start with marquis ..with Castledine and o Reilly if fit in support and sageo coming on for the second half before Castledine runs out of steam.in the 65 to 70 minute

The system has to change and given that performance last night there is probably justification now.
Steve Cross said 4-4-2 but I think it should be 3-5-2, Flood the midfield and try to get someone up front with Lloyd.
Shipley likely comes back in for me, I'm unsure who the third defender is, whether that's Hoole or he makes up the other wing back.

Is probably something like
Savin
Feeney, Feeney, Pierre
Hoole, Gilliead, Ojo, Shipley
Castledine
Lloyd Marquis
Pierre's lack of pace shouldn't be as much of an issue, and I can't see Hurst dropping Ojo nor Gilliead.
Unsure if Winchester will be back and available.
Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again.

For a number of years we have played 3-5-2 but without having actual wing-backs, instead we've had centre halves (Feeney) or old fashioned full backs (Golbourne) who haven't wanted to cross the halfway line
In Benning & Hoole I think we have some players who could be decent wing backs in the sense that they can offer something forward and then they have 3 centre halves behind them to offer some security, well as much as a Shrewsbury Town defence security can offer. You can play the two Feeney's and then one of the terrible twosome, I've ruled out Nurse because either he isn't fit or Hurst doesn't like him.
Hurst does have a choice to make as has so many players in midfield, unfortunately I expect to continue playing journeyman such as Ojo & Gillead ahead of players with actual quality such as TOR & Shipley. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see a midfield 5 of Ojo, Winchester, Rossiter, Gilead and Castledine with the reliance on the latter to be our sole attacking/creativity threat.
Unfortunately Bolton have picked up so I can't see anything other than a comfortable victory for them.

I think this could be Groundhog Day
We didn’t get a kick against them in the Cup back in August, and they’ve hit some form since then.
Be surprised if we don’t take a pasting, hope I’m wrong

2-1 Shrews
I would like to see us continue to build on our performances this time for a full 90 +AT.
I like what I have seen this season in parts be great to see a full game of high pressing without the ball and forward thinking with the ball I know things haven't gone the way we all would have liked be great if we can put in a performance in which we can take 3 points get some confidence and build on it.🔷️🔶️

I also think we should change the formation up, if nothing else than to give the opposition something different to think about. Pierre has been decent at times and could well flourish in the middle of a back three with the two Feeneys and then we could play Hoole and Benning as proper wingbacks. The midfield/ front five is more problematic but I would play Winchester or Rossiter as the holding midfielder with O'Reilly and Shipley wide. Shipley has been one of our best players under the two previous managers and has scored some spectacular goals and it is a complete mystery to me how Hurst has not been able to use Shipley's talents effectively this season. For the two remaining spaces upfront we should try Marquis and Lloyd together upfront first half and then throw on some subs from Castledine, Bloxham and Sagoe early in the second half to give us extra pace and creativity. Probably none of this will happen of course but our present formation and tactics have been worked out by almost all the teams we have played against this season and we need to roll the dice a bit.

I'd plump for 3-5-2 as well.
Savin
Hoole Feeney Fenney Pierre Shipley
Winchester/Rossiter/Ojo
O'Reilly Castledine
Lloyd Bloxham/Marquis
It's not going to happen but Hurst shoukd switch up. He's doing himself no favours at all by doing the same thing every game.
I'm going but not looking forward to it. All aboard the Masochist Express!

Is Joe Young injured? Just how long is Nurse going to take to get his head sorted? Into month 15 of his recovery, played in the first friendly in July yet not ready, some say understandably but I don’t understand it, 8 mins played so far this season?? |

Being a No 2 keeper must be frustrating enough but No 2 when you know you won’t even be on the bench? Wonder if he knew before he signed? Just a gut feeling! Has he noticed his gut feelings aren’t working too well at the moment. |

There was a time when we could feel confident that a Shrewsbury team could defy the odds and win this one. But not any more I’m afraid.

My prediction is 3-0 to Bolton. A comfortable half time 2-0 lead, then they take their foot off the gas, we have a bit more play in the second half without creating anything of note, they score a third and we’re left to cling onto the ‘positives’ of a second half.

3 0 loss.
Pitch will feel massive against a possession obsessed Bolton. It’s going to be grim.
I’m past hoping for any better than that.
COYB!

We are being too cautious at the moment and a more gung-ho approach might yet yield dividends.
My preferred line-up would be:
Savin
Hoole - Pierre - Feeney - Feeney - Nsiala - Nurse - Benning
Winchesta - Biggins
Marquis

My huge concern is Savin's injury record - then again perhaps he can do a Bert Trautmann |
