Christ look at the amount of likes on the OP too.
2 defeats in 14 in all comps now...
Excellent result tonight, and a real chance to get to round 3 now

Let’s have it right... We’ve just squeezed through against lower league opposition
Been beaten by port vale
Thumped by Fleetwood at home
I’m far from convinced

Let's have it right... Comfortably beat a team at the top end of L2 from what I heard in the commentary. Not really the first 11 who lost to vale. On the day Fleetwood were excellent but we had our chances in the first 30 mins. I like my glass half full it puts a smile on my face.

I mean come on not sure why you even bother supporting us anymore totally negative , miserable and boring oh yeah , we lost a game in September , wow, sack him now

No question, we are on a decent run. Only 3 points off the play offs. A good chance of getting into third round of fa cup. And a chance of progressing in the leasing .com

With the squad Ricketts has built we are doing very well but let’s not completely get carried away and rewrite the last year. We look solid defensively and competitive but hindsight is a wonderful thing. Last season we were utter sh*t and we didn’t stay up because Ricketts in any way turned us around, we were very lucky that other teams were absolutely woeful. People’s frustration at the time was justified. I’m just glad we’ve turned it around now and look set to push on.

I think fans have every right to still think last season was awful and that to some extent Ricketts shoulders some degree of responsibility. Every day on this message board you berate anyone who for one moment questions or criticises something Ricketts does. Campbell and Williams are not the sole reason we stayed up. Those points Coyne and co got us were the main reason we scr@ped over the line. Im glad he’s doing well now and we are playing well. I don’t think that makes him immune from criticism though. I’m not one of the boo boys this season and if you remember a few games ago I was objecting to the team being booed. I don’t get your passive aggressive replies sometimes...

Good result tonight, don’t see anything wrong with Ricketts being criticised along the way.
As I have said recently, Ricketts has found himself a good set up since that horrendous bore against Gillingham & many more before it. Now I’m excited about what his well drilled side can achieve with this level of organisation & spirit at the back whilst being well aware that the actual style on the pitch will rarely excite us as much as the league position it may produce. I’m also wary that we will at some point pay for a lack of goals as the defence may not always withstand the pressure we often invite.
Two home games to continue a great run of form but I completely stick by the criticism I’ve given him in the past. I truly hope he continues to win me over & prove me wrong.

I have said it once and I will say it again.
Playing like this is great when we win 1-0. When we start losing a few 1-0, then the mood will change very quickly on here.
I suppose it's worth pointing out that most of our games this season have been instantly forgettable. Despite the result.

Doom and gloom has arrived Let’s get hurst back and start playing sexy football again Win 1-0 all season Except when it matters I agree with Nicko. Fans are fickle - SRs approach is getting the desired results but without being very entertaining; very similar to Paul Hurst’s, great while it’s working as fans will accept a less entertaining performance / fewer goals at the expense of victories. Personally - I like SRs approach and think he will have a long and successful career as a football manager. He appears to have a good analytical approach and plays to his sides strengths, building a solid base to avoid losing. But I can understand why everyone is not 100% behind him yet.

Top half, 8/16 league games we've had clean sheets. Nicely clear of the relegation zone.
Great progress from the last few years bar the Hurst season, keep it up Ricketts.

Dave Edwards was also staggeringly written off by many last season. You’d think people wouldn’t be so quick to judge having been burned in the past, but some will never learn.

Maybe we just have to take it on the chin that if we're to have any success at this level then chances are it's not going to to come about with free flowing football (perhaps because of the funds available). More than one way to skin a cat and all that...
I don't think its great to watch, indeed at times its dire. Yet with that said, you can't argue with the results at the minute. Take out the one season under Hurst and I've never really thought that we looked like a club moving forward, that we were making progress towards getting settled at this level. I do get that feeling now under Ricketts; that'll be because we're not struggling and from what we've seen so far, I don't envisage us struggling either.
He's doing alright...

When you build a team from defence it's not going to be exciting, because you're basing your chances of success on the solidity of the team rather than attacking prowess.
I don't think anyone would claim Hurst's team was exciting and, to neutrals, I'd guess it was efficient but rather dull. We still saw some good games, albeit rarely incident-packed. The potential is there for this team to follow a similar course.
I can't see any Shrewsbury team being the swashbuckling entertainers of League 1 when too many rivals have greater resources to sign up more of the best attacking talent. In League 2 I'm sure we'd be in a better position to do that and I'd say the most entertaining Salop teams I've seen have been in L2. Never seen us with a prolific team in any division though.
Carry on, Ricketts, it's coming along quite well and I'm optimistic the goal scoring ratio will improve.

Don't think we'll be free flowing prolific scorers however, we look very solid at the moment and have undoubted improved as the season has progressed. I also think we've looked a better balanced team with the tweaking of our formation from 3-5-2 to 3-4-3 which also demonstartes that SR is developing as a manager as he gets to know the strengths and weaknesses of the squad.

I only have one word for those to think about shrews BURYDon’t disagree with most of what your saying but brining Wycombe up brings it all back.... did he explain why he was about to bring Payne on before DC had a word and advised against? No no doubt he denied it but I saw him call him off the bench, send him for a quick warm up then gesture him to come back and he removed his training top ready to come on. Many others witnessed this hence the ‘dont Know what your doing’ chant, Danny had a quiet word and Payne put his training top on..... He’s learning all the time but and things have improved both in recruitment and tactically (slowly) and he might make a good manager but he does need to improve his own PR with a large section of fans. learning all the time and

Those points Coyne and co got us were the main reason we scr@ped over the line. Why were 6 points won in November more important than the 18 points won by Askey in August-November or the 28 won by Ricketts in December-May? Did you think the 10 points Micky Mellon got in 2016/17 were the main reason we stayed up that season too, rather than the 41 won by Hurst?
