Just been reading everyone else's thoughts on tonight, thought I would add mine to the list.
I felt embarrased to be a Shrewsbury fan tonight, I have spend thousands of pounds on this football team over the last few years, I have taken time out of shccol, work, and now uni to watch them, and I have always given passionate support, but at the moment I feel cheated.
The team haven't played with any desire or passion all season, and when we went one nil down tonight I couldn't find a single player on that pitch that seemed to give a damn, they were one nil down to their local rivals, spurred on by a great crowd, chasing the play-offs, and they didn't care, they may as well not have bothered turning up.
Quinn has sapped all the team spirit and commitment out of this club, Ratcliffe may have had his faults but our best season in recent years was under him, and that was because his team played with fight and passion, we had something like 11 red cards that season, because the players fought and cared, and when we were down to ten they rallied around each other, the players under Quinn don't give a damn about each other and never talk on the pitch.
The man's tactics are bizzare, the team have not had a chance to settle all season because he hasn't persisted with one shape, style or formation. He gave Duane Darby a good dozen games to settle in, yet he has tried several strike partners alongside him, and not given any of them time to settle in. He brought back Tolley tonight when he clearly wasn't fit, he had the turning circle of the titanic, and when he came on the midfield may as well have all buggered off.
Why he persists in playing Banim I don't know, since he got a start in the team he has shown he is nothing better than a Unibond player, his ideas and tricks do not work at this level, and he has been made to look average at best several times now.
Anyway, rant over for now, I think. Quinn Out!!!
