I have a feeling that we will be bringing up the Paul Hurst season for many many years to come a bit like England and 1966.

Some really interesting responses on this thread from all sides.
For me, at the start of the season, it was all about stability and making sure we were far away from the relegation zone and use a midtable finish to push on from that. So far we are around about where I think we need to be and have ground out some results. We aren't good enough to finish in the playoffs IMO but I think people should realise football is not just about going all out attack every single game but defending and being solid. Rickett's signings have been good in the summer. The goalkeeper is solid enough, the back five look pretty secure with one or two mistakes in them every now and again, midfield has some structure... the only concerns I really have are the lack of striking options with Lang being out injured and Fey's form being poor recently. Cummings looks like a real player though once we get him fit.
There's so many differences between now and last season and IMO more to be comfortable with. The recruitment looks to have been pretty good to begin with, we also look a lot fitter and play with a clear structure. I remember when people were moaning about possession statistics, well in the last two games we seem to have dominated that from what I can tell and its still somehow not enough. Ricketts seems like he cares about the job which is a welcome change from Askey's boring monotone responses to poor results and the players look like they are playing for him.
There almost seems to be this rewriting of the Hurst era too because I can remember pipping games one nil in the last 10 minutes when we finished third. We didn't go out and steamroll teams. At the moment we seem to lack that Jon Nolan type of player who can spin on a dime and create something out of nothing. Had one of those three chances we had in the last 10 minutes drop in I don't think people would be moaning but we just dont seem to be catching a break. I don't feel the squad has completely gelled yet which is weird nearly a quarter into the season but I don't think we've been poor either. I just feel this depressing gulf is opening up between some of our fans and the club which is a real shame. To quote Mellon, its fine margins right now that aren't dropping in our favour to turn draws into wins.

pilch , I know rickets is your mate and all that . But what is going on in the team that brings positivity to the place? Everyone can have an off day . Ours is a negative set up from minute 1 - every time , no matter the opponent. How could any shrewsbury fan enjoy tonight’s game ? Or the Lincoln game ? It’s just boring. if you read my comments on the gillingham thread, im far from happy about tonight, but still looking positive towards the next game but we need to be realistic, league 1 is dog eat dog, rotherham probably expected to beat us the other week, Lincoln probably fancied their chances, so did Tranmere who then went to coventry next game and won, Sunderland think they should be walking the league, go back over the years, Man City needed a play off miracle to get out, moneybags Fulham failed, Leeds failed, many others have failed after throwing serious money at it, bury tried chucking extra money at it..... we are shrewsbury, an average league one side, always have been , probably always will for me this season , anything that doesn't resemble a relegation battle is progress but too many toys are out of the pram on some of these posts I've replied to them in the style of poking a animal in a cage with a stick , its seems its entertainment they want, so I thought I'd try and help out ;-) Away from home, I don’t have a problem with setting up defensively and frustrating the opposition, nor would I against Sunderland, at home, on Saturday. But this was Gillingham, who’ve hardly won an away game all season and yet we were still defensive, slow, negative and boring. We need to get at teams like that and surely look for the 3 points in a more aggressive way?

Rotherham this season I think was warranted, Darlington under Simpson, Northampton under Mellon...

Works both ways on the support front, getting at teams, at home, would mean the support doesn’t fall asleep with boredom, which happened last night and they’d get behind the team.

I’ve been once this season for the bizarrely gung ho strategy at Ipswich.
Other than that, have watched a few streams, including last night.
We’ve been very successful at beating worse sides than us, 12 points coming from games with the bottom 8. With only one relegation spot to worry about due to the financially ****ed nature of this division, we can almost ignore any concerns about relegation.
Points wise, there can be few supporters who complain about our position. Striking distance of the play offs. Securely mid table.
But Jesus Christ, god help those of who have to watch it live. It is so ponderous, slow and s**te. When we finally got some form of plan together last night (move it to the right wing in two or three quick passes and let Whalley or Love whip it in) it was fine, but before that, you’d surely have been better off slowly rubbing your genitals against a hand held cheese grater for entertainment.
I look forward to my next outing to Doncaster with nervous excitement.

Not everyone enjoys being bored to death by something they pay money to watch. Chelsea fans hated Sarri, Ipswich fans hated McCarthy, West Brom fans hated Pulis. Sometimes the style of play can just make football not worth watching & on several occasions so far this season, that’s been the case.. last night being one.

Ricketts stated after the match we were poor first half and we didn't push forward enough. No explication why, he didn't take responsibity. He just stated it like it was one of those things. Once he was told what to do by the crowd the team looked dangerous and were unlucky not to score a winner at the end. Maybe he has learnt a lesson tonight. Or maybe he will just pat himself on the back for turning the game around with his top notch subs and tactics.... How exactly does Ricketts take responsibility for the players not doing what they were supposed to do? He said there was a lack of intensity, that players didn't pass forward enough but played sideways and back - you want him to say that's not what I instructed them to do but I'll take responsibility for it!? So he "was told what to do by the crowd" was he and maybe learned a lesson from their wisdom? Oh, man ….. B&A never lets me down - no matter how fed up I feel with a manager after a game there'll always be some daft posts like this to get me supporting him again. His player, his team selection, his formation, his tactics. Of course he has to take responsibility. It clearly wasn't working yet he did nothing. He had the power to change things and he didn't. His responsibility. The crowd sang for Whalley and a few minutes later he came on...

When do you think the players should start taking some responsibility? If your boss tells you to do something and you don't do it, you say that's his responsibility, not yours? Players have a privileged enough position as it is - they don't need to be cossetted and treated like children. As for the Whalley thing, he's come on as a substitute regularly enough. It can't have been a surprise to anyone that it happened on Tuesday. If the fans singing his name want to take credit for it, that's up to them but they're only kidding themselves. Try singing for a different player on Saturday and let's see how that goes, eh?

B&A never lets me down - no matter how fed up I feel with a manager after a game there'll always be some daft posts like this to get me supporting him again. To be fair, there are a few examples of Sam making the exact sub that was being called for by the fans and then getting a result; Wycombe at home last season (Doherty on); Accy away this season (Udoh and Feji on); Last night (Whalley); Probably a few more too. Whether it's just a case of these being obvious subs or the fans genuinely called it right, I've rarely ever seen as stubborn a town manager when it comes to actually making a change, even when it's obvious things are not going our way. I get the impression Sam sees himself as a deep football thinker and hates admitting he's got it wrong, hence the reluctance to make changes. The substitutions the fans call for are usually very obvious ones, so it's no surprise if the manager happens to be thinking something similar. As I just suggested to pughy, try calling for a less obvious change to be made and we'll see how much influence those fans really have over the manager's decisions. Is Ricketts especially stubborn? I can't recall a more inflexible manager than Graham Turner with his rigid use of substitutions. But managers are tactical geniuses if the game changes after a substitution, stubborn and out of touch if they don't make a change. Most of the time they make substitutions and nothing much changes in the overall game. If they're in the "can't win" category (which Ricketts occupies for some of our fans), he makes a change (Whalley on after 59 minutes), the game turns (we equalise 5 minutes later) and some fans insist the credit is theirs because they were calling for that change, which was pretty obvious and expected by almost everyone anyway. The bottom line is surely that the manager believes he's right. If he doesn't, he must rethink urgently. In the unlikely event that he allows his decision making to be swayed by what a section of the crowd wants, he's ceased to be a real manager. Ricketts can be criticised for some things but not, thank God, for that.

Booing is childish to the extreme.it reminds me of a kids pantomime.players and manager's don't go out to perform badly,it's not done out of malice.always get behind anyone in a salop shirt,whatever race,colour,or creed or indeed performance level.if they wearing blue and Amber,they one of us.

Unlike the recent games this must be the most entertaining thread of the year so far. As for booing I never have and never will boo my own team. That said, this team has become very frustrating to watch. I appreciate that Ricketts is trying to make us harder to beat and the current table shows he should take credit for that. I did want him to bring in an experienced attacking coach as his assistant and I am not sure Barrow is right for that (remember the dramatic improvement in attack Leroy Rosenior brought in his brief time as coach here). We are basically set up at home as the away side playing on the break and the high long balls to our smallish strikers are not working. Yes we have an inexperienced manager but ultimately at the end of the season he will be expected to have taken the club forward. I would settle for a midtable finish and some evidence Ricketts is doing something to address our weakness upfront. Finally, I would appeal to those fans who seem to want to conduct vendettas against individual players on this board to think again, especially with young players like Laurent (who I think brings a lot of energy and pressing to the team and was actually our best player in the first half on Tuesday night).

If Edwards or Okenabhire could hit a cows arse with a banjo (or should that say head) we’d be sitting 2 points off the play offs.
Give Ricketts and the team a fair chance you booing weapons
