I tried saying the same earlier in the season but got shot down I have no idea what they do in private during the week but what I see on a match day is somewhat amateurish Morale is certainly rock bottom all round We need a new manager bounce and that's an understatement if ever there was one I’ve certainly said this about Jensen in the past. His warm ups are Sunday League standard and the bloke can barely bloody walk!! A full clear out from top to bottom is what’s needed - but will be far too expensive to actually achieve I said the same about Jensen and was dared to say it to his face , wouldn't say boo to any member of towns staff to their face but I don't mind criticising them on here , and at the moment I'm Embarrassed for them as for Parish, his 2 games have made it look like Hurst was far better |

To misquote Groucho marks anyone wanting to manage this shambles should automatically be discounted from the job as they are clearly mad!
Everytime you think the teams hit rock bottom we find a new level to fall

One free hit (guaranteed loss) game in the next 3 weeks could not have come at a better time. We need to make that time count to reset and make a massive run of fixtures in December count.
All is not lost but its bloody hard being a town fan at the moment.

Is the lowest point of the club since relegation to the Conference?
From a business perspective, I can't understand how and why Roland has let us get to this point.
It's his own asset that is being devalued by us (nearly inevitably) going down to League Two next year. And if I'm a prospective buyer, I'm not paying the asking price if I know that I'm going to have to inject significant capital up front: The stadium needs TLC, and pretty much every coach and player needs to have their contracts paid up.

You just can't defend that squad of players, and the 2 games under Parish they look like they have been on holiday, no wonder we have no young players coming through....
I think we seriously have to be concerned that we will be facing a League " relegation fight next season as well. I watched the 2nd half v Walsall and that was extremely worrying, Walsall outclassed Salop and could have had 6....
I reckon you will be able to count less than 5 players here next season.

Steve Cross thinks we need the right man to turn it around, glad I heard that as I was thinking the wrong person might be better ;-)

Can’t remember with Cotterill but seem to recall Hurst was in place by end of October the first time round and just about got us safe, fear here is that even if we were good enough to turn it around (which currently we are nowhere near), have we in fact left the change too late? |

Right Pilch I am going to put you on the spot, out of the players who stepped on the field of play today, who would you honestly keep...... to go down fighting this season.

I am currently listening to a System of a Down cd to try to cheer myself up, and it isn’t working! Bloody hell that was a shambles! Please tell me Steve Cross didn’t award a POTM because no one deserved it! I’d give it to the poor sods supporting Shrewsbury who went to watch that rubbish! Hats off to everyone of you!

Most of us posters have watched Shrewsbury for yrs and yrs I guess...and most of us will agree that no way those players will stave off relegation this season.....to weak,to timid,no desire,no passion.... I'm sorry having to say that🤦☹️😔

I'm sorry having to say that🤦☹️😔 i'm genuinely trying to think of a worse squad of players in my 52yrs of watching town, and i really can't. Even if a loaded a buyer is imminent, i think January will come too late, i really cannot see town winning another game before then, and it's almost impossible to make wholesale changes in January anyway. |

Can cope with poor players, but won’t tolerate the lack of desire to play for the club! Any new manager will most likely know they need a clean slate as much as possible

Agree. Our best bet is getting a new owner in with enough time to prepare the groundworks for league Two next year, with the first priority being preventing a double dip before looking upwards. |

Wasn't we in a similar position when Hurst and SC took over us? History tells us its very possible to save our season, its just our eyes disagree.

Correct he was in place by the end of October albeit we’d played 15 games, were bottom and 6 points off safety. Exactly the same position we find ourselves in now. I suspect that’s where the similarities will end. We at least had Sadler and Ogogo to give us a bit of leadership and bite, rather than this pitiful bunch. |

Zero leaders in this team and there is problem number one! I do not envy a new manager walking into this. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the new manager fighting for his job by March/April time. |

Whatever the score hats off to the fans who went, they stayed to the bitter end and were still chanting with three minutes to go and at times audible over the Walsall throng.
I have just driven to Dartford for work tomorrow, and with M1 closures ended up going right past Stevenage's ground as well as to Walsall, could do with going to a ground we actually win at sometime.
Anyway - we are blessed with some hardy supporters, they were POTM for me.

Briiant support last night well done to all 121 of us , my only moan was the silly " Roland Out " chants by the younger members of our fanbase , rightly told to keep quiet by a couple of our older fans .
Its disrespecful and out of order , yes we all want change and our chairman is actively seeking it ( positive news soon hopefully ) but cut the bloke some slack , just boils my p**s the lack of respect shown.
