I'm sure Stubbs will be able to play a few whilst the others are out. He was supposedly close to playing the game yesterday

Saw the game last night from the Shrewsbury home perspective. Shrewsbury we’re poor even by their standards, supporters said as much. So to lose after going two goals up is unacceptable. Jamal is big but never imposed himself on long throw ins or corners. His kicking was predictable and poor. Irrespective of fault on the goals he is simply not performing at league 1 level. For the rest Caprice outstanding, on the right side not so much on the left in the second half. Combination of Collins, Kite and Sparkes will never cut it in this league, lightweight and easily outfought physically. Harper flatters to deceive, big presence but the game just goes on around him. Upfront, Jevani is so talented but struggles with end product, his shot against the bar was the difference between winning and losing. Sam, just not up for it again. Feel for Pierce and Johnathan G who worked their socks off but to no avail.Substitutions were too late given the obvious struggles of first choices and Jay, Stansfield is way off ready for mens football. Shrewsbury may not be much but they can teach us a few lessons re the ability to survive in league 1. Need to win Saturday or the die will be cast for the rest of the seasom.

I'd hazard a guess you're a glass-half-full-kinda guy!

We gifted Shrewsbury three goals that wouldn’t happen normally .
Nine times out ten that first half performance would have seen
us comfortably win that game .

Agree entirely and that’s what I expected. Shrewsbury don’t win too many at home, so very disappointing .

Jevani has no end product as he could only hit the bar from twenty five meters?
