Boxing Clever...Shrewsbury Home 26th Dec.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Still scoring off set pieces. This is A Good Thing.

[TANGODANCER]

Keep it up lads, don't sit back, keep the pressure on and...well, get a few more maybe....? Shrews defence not sounding top notch and that could be a chance to ram a couple more in. They have a free now and.....we clear for a throw. That could have been a bit dangerous but we cleared and then again. Throw again them and.....Ben manages to grab the ball and set us forth once more. Fans urging Wheater to "shoot" at avery opportunity. Mic lads reckon he'll be unbearable in interviews...Now then, throw them and Sadlers and...we clear, they come back via Dodds and win a corner. O'Brien and...a good delivery but Big Dave clears. Throw them, a free us, or a throw, mic man not sure and we go visiting.

Mean while....some mither about Bury and Fleetwood then Madine wins it but they clear. Blake gets robbed by Beevers and we get a goal kick.

[TANGODANCER]

Mention of the Scunthorpe game (forget it, concentrate on Shrewsbury) defence does well and Madine does well again and wins a throw. Sammi passes, a shot from...? goes nowhere. Taylor, Beevers, Wheater.....Clough, Madine, Taylor....Thorpe, Sammi and....Wilson and....etc, etc, and....we get a free kick. And....micmen rattle some scores then they clear. Sammi gets it again and Madine goes. Free us again and....and.....some mic chat, then....some scores then...some chat, then...a throw them and half-time approaches. Zico doing th draw. Throw the Shrews and....some more chat then.....sigh....ah, Beevers goes, Wheater, Madine, Thorpe robbed and they clear. Shrews try a sally but we get a goal kick. Madine no, clough, Taylor, ping and pong a bit then Vela crosses one but they get a throw. And....Thorpe, them, Madine (2 mins added) chat-chat....throw them, Spearing gives a free kick away...and mic man has a ramble about Spearing for the Scousers then.......Madine tries but they recover. Wheater feeds Sammi, Vela and....they clear. Spearing......half-time, 2-0 us.....

[TANGODANCER]

Anybody at the game got a comment so far?

[TANGODANCER]

Throw us, they clear, Wearing replaces E-Banks Blake (too much festive chocolate claims mic man)
We have a chat session about celebrity deaths this year, then...the Shrews get a corner and another from a rebound. And, O'Brien and....its a scramble that wasn't dealt with and a shot goes wide that could have been a problem. Sammi goes, they clear, we clear in return. Long one from them and....Spearing, then Sammi and....we get a free. Madine, Clough, Taylor and Beevers figures.....Clough then.....a bit of space.....deflected and....we get a throw. Other scores then they clear the throw. Zico not happy with the throw as we get another. Taylor and....headed back, we go, they clear again and....Ben comes for it and catches.

[TANGODANCER]

Vela, Zac, Spearing and.....cleared. Some hefty headers from both halves then....some mither about Everton then....Dave clears, they come back....and they get a throw in their half. Free kick them against Beevers? Thirty out apparently and a good delivery gets them a corner. And.....we need to get a grip again lads, come on......And......we try to break but it all becomes back and forth again. We sally, Sammi gets the good words and the Maching wins us a free kick. Zac goes and....cleared. Wheater and Wearing have a tussle and the Shrews get a free kick. Come on lads, gets the pressure back on and.....the ball almost fell for them and fortunately, gets walloped over our bar. Now then, Spearing, Sammi, Wilson and....they try a break but we clear. Vela, they get it back....Spearing, Shrews claim a foul, get nothing but come forth again. Back they come and......and.....they had a real chance there from a Vela back pass. Bit of sloppines there?

[TANGODANCER]

Period of lack of pressure from us then Vela, Sammi, the pass goes too early and they clear. Beevers and Thorpe set us off again. 16,200 plus.....crowd. Handball shout from us denied and they sally again and.......what a great crowd.

[TANGODANCER]

Hand ball now gets us a free kick and we need to tighenthe grip. Zac and......oooohhhhh, the ball goes under the keeper from a great shot and becomes a corner us....Spearing and, cleared and...Spearing again and...Wilson and.....the keeper saves from Madine.

[TANGODANCER]

Sammi, Vela and....cleared.Sammi again and....Madine can't reach it. Off to Bury and....nowt happening yet and (am I bovvered?) meanwhile, meanwhile....meanwhile....more scores.....then..Beevers takes a free kick, Sammi tries one to Clough but they clear well. Ben clears to halfway where we get a throw. Some to and fro and.....a bit of good play before their keeper clears. (greatfully?) The Shrews get a stoppage for a minute then...some chat about subs then......a Shrew (Black) walks off with a head injury. Zac now and.......a bad challenge escapes punishment. And now...they clear for a throw.

[TANGODANCER]

And....a throw (as the top two are still at 0-0.) And Zac and.......and.......Thorpe and Spearing, Sammi, Taylor and....it all ends up baack with Alnwick. O'Brien leaves for them, replaced by Waley? Madine goes, feeds Sammi, Wilson, Thorpe and....they clear. Taylor gives it away and a bit of frustration in our defenc, claims mic man? Madine, Spearing. Taylor, Beevers, Gary, Zac, Taylor and....Zico has a guffaw. Zac, Spearing, Gary, Thorpe, Wilson , cross and.....Zac and....can't find the last pass. Spearing and Beevers (Beckford gets a red elsewhere) and they Shrews screech for a pen. They sally, Beevers clears....ends with a throw to us.

[TANGODANCER]

Shefield 1-0 up.....shxt. They clear, Dave clears back, they come again and....Taylor gores, they reclaim and their keeper clears . They sally, we clear, Madine feeds Zac, we have a chat from micman then.........Thorpe and.....Spearing, then Beevrers as it goes back. Tylor, Vela, Sammi.....Vela, Taylor, Spearing.....(Derik getting ready to replace Spearing who leaves to big applause from the fans). Mither about Fleetwood then.........some more mither, then.....( 8 mins mentioned as left) Taylor, Madine, Clough...gets tackled and we get a free kick. And......Zac and cleared as Big Dave looks for a sniff. They hit our bar after abreak then Brown nods one in. 2-1...bad news..

[TANGODANCER]

Nervous last five now and another goal would be very useful. We cannot, just cannot, crumble now. And.....they come again and win a throw near our box. Scrambles and then Sammi tries a break but they clear via the keeper. Get a grip lads....refs gives nothing for a foul on Madine and.......then gives them a free. And....they come again and.....the liner wants a penalty and the ref lets it go......oh, Zac goes and they clear. Liner says pen, ref says no??????

[jonnycooper]

Sheffield Utd now 2-0 up!

[TANGODANCER]

What happening to the SuperWhites? A Shrew gets booked, and...Zac leaves for Chris Taylor and we are running on empty. Come on....throw them, Derik clears, micman rambles about scores. Taylor wins a throw.......where's our confidence gone. Four mins added. Come on lads, Derik feeds Vela who can't keep it in. Taylor, then they get a throw and.....a cross, a headers, a scramble and......we breathe a sigh of relief as the ref gives notheing....Sammi get a corner after getting the ball from Madine. Taylor goes to take it and...plays short to Sammi......Madine and......and......we keep it in the corner and win a throw. And.......and.....the crowd make a racket and.......and.......and....Sammi, Madine, and........and......and.......VELA AND WE WIN.......2-1.......

[TANGODANCER]

Scunthorpe still goal less? Whew, a nerve win, but a win antyway. That'll do thank you.....

It never seems easy - I'd hate to be Crazy Horse's underwear.

Scunny held 0-0 at Bradford. According to my maths that means two points between the top three?

Correct - unfortunately we are third.

True, but it's in our hands. Winning on Thursday would take us back into the auto zone - and could also knock Scunny out of it for the first time in a long while, which would be an interesting test of their psychological strength.

^^ Thursday? Satdi, innit?
