I'm trying to remember the name of that striker we signed on loan under Turner, who was very prolific everywhere he went apart from here. I think he went to Exeter and scored a load. Very experienced when he came here.
Anyone ?

People saying a goalscorer doesn’t guarantee success? Success isn’t always winning things . In our case someone scoring 20 odd goals and helping us finish in mid table rather than relegation places is success !! I don’t think “people” are talking about the player being a success, not whether signing the next Bahrudin Atajic would fire us to the FA Cup final. if we get a proven goalscorer in now then they could fire us to the da cup final !! Only 5 games away!

I'm not happy with a lot of our players but what do you expect from Shrewsbury Town ? we made a massive gamble in bringing a favourite back which has meant we have had to offload lets face it, we all wanted that to happen up front we have Angol who I know can play better and hopefully he will okinberie has been far better than I expected , a big bonus laurent has been unlucky not to grab a goal or 2 recently Holloway has a few goals in him John Lewis still has to be paid by us injured or not we have Eisa who has potential and we have brought in a new lad who was judged by a lot before he even kicked a ball for us if they are not good enough to keep us up we go down simple as there's always next season we do it your way, there might not be a next season stop dreaming and get realistic But we keep increasing our turnover through lucrative sales and sell ons and cup runs last year and this yet we rarely see this reflect in signings... Weve made £225k in prize money just in the FA cup with £135k for unexpectedly beating Stoke but it never seems to make a difference to Scrooge ... what would be the reduction in income just through relegation? Start with the £440 k difference from the EFL not to mention reduced gate et al you want us to spend next seasons budget today ? what if it doesn't work ? what's your plan B when we are in league 2 with no money ? ps who is this cheap miracle player kicking his heels looking for a struggling league 1 club to show off his lethal ability up front ? there are many many clubs with a blank cheque looking for that very same player that doesn't exist stop moaning we've just had our best week for a long long time

( thats 133 years) winning a big cheque and a sell out derby game this week and who knows maybe a massive payday still to come ? unless I missed something ? did we get beat 9-0 at Man City last week ? and 7-0 at Blackpool ? am I missing something ?

A point against a side with an owner tighter than ours and we got dicked by a team that 8 months ago we beat convincingly over 2 legs . And then the worst half of football played by shrewsbury I have seen all season . 3 shots 3 goals second half for a famous win but for **** sake take them blue and amber glasses off, we haven’t scored in the league for nearly a month . It’s pathetic

Simple answer. A tight owner with zero ambition. Roland, sell up and stop holding us back. We are a small club who are holding our own in Division One of the EFL thanks in no small part to a supporter of the football club. There are many much larger clubs in our division and in the division below. No moaning about the chairman last season.

Poor decision after poor decision, contract mess ups, lack of investment, weird behaviour (star signs anyone?). We've spent the equivalent of two record transfer fees firing one "inexperienced league manager" to bring in a manager with no league and very minimal non-league experience.

In fact yes I am Wrong . Congratulations to shrewsbury town on the penalty scored at Accrington in a scintillating performance , the 1-1 at Sunderland and the outstanding 0-0 draw at home to Fleetwood on New Year’s Day , what a time to be alive .

At some point we are going to have to put together and successfully execute a plan to do more than yo yo between leagues 1 and 2.
Whilst I'm broadly sympathetic to the view that we're pretty much at our level, we risk alienating the casual supporters we rely on.
Support has been pretty good since relegation to the conference. That seemed to galvanize people into realising that they did want a football league club in the town and therefore needed to actively support it. I would suggest that, currently, that support has largely been rewarded. We've had some good years since then, several promotions and near misses and a few cup runs to boot.
I would argue that currently, most fans see us as on an upward trajectory from that conference season which seems to serve as a kind of fresh slate/cut off point in most people's memories. People were hugely disappointed by our relegation last time but mostly took it on the chin as part of the process of finding our feet at this level again (after what was a fairly long absence), particularly as we were, correctly as it turned out, pretty enthusiastic about our chances of bouncing back.
I'm not sure that buoyancy will be there this time around. After last season and the funds made available to Askey a lot of people will see a relegation as a total, unmitigated disaster. Even if we stay up, mid or lower table mediocrity will not entice fans through the turnstile, no matter how laudable an achievement.
My concern is that fans will start to drift away and find other things to spend their money on. Concourse business is usually a pretty good indicator of what the real crowd is these days. St both the Charlton and Fleetwood games gates of close to 6k were reported but the concourses were as empty at half time as I can remember for a league game at the ground. Fleetwood in particular had the air of a preseason friendly almost.
I think the reporting of all season tickets as attending papers over a lot of cracks. We're already evidently in a position where people who've forked out for a season ticket early on are just not fancying it. The risk is that some of them make that decision permanent next year along with those who attend the odd game not bothering any more.
I went with 4 people who occasionally attend to Fleetwood; 3 adults and one child. Their mood at the end of the game told me they won't be rushing back any time soon.
Ambition and a bit of a buzz is part of the value for money element the club can offer. It's sorely lacking at the minute.
We've prized our status as well run with little debt over the years and justifiably so but we are fast approaching a point in time where we need to seriously consider a rethink. I'm not suggesting we go all out and do a Bury but equally the consequences of not investing and pushing ourselves could end up being just as severe.
