Doing it by numbers..V Shrewsury away Sat 22nd Jan. 3'oclock

[Mar]

This match is terrible so far. Nothing to really write home about from both teams. If it finishes like this it'll be an improvement in results but not performances. Somewhat of a damp squib.

Some nice footwork from Charles there.

Vela seems to be busy for the opposition.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Better. Think that Charles shot was on target but we’ll blocked.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Is their “long” thrower trying to hit an aeroplane?

[DJBlu]

FFS this passing is appauling.

Irony,

I'm thinking I need Hoss's half time fridge...White Lightning should do it.

[Worthy4England]

But, we're normally one down by now...

[The_Gun]

I’d revert to four at the back. Take Fossey and Baka off for Dapo and Dad Bod.

[GhostoftheBok]

Awful performance. Awful game. Good half time score.

Nobody can pass today. They look like they've barely met. Why Evatt changed the shape in midfield I don't know, but that needs to go back to how it was vs Ipswich.

Crap.

[Prufrock]

Well that was garbage. Shocking on the ball. Baka a passenger again. I guess given we're never going to score away from home again we might as well play for the 0-0s.

Irony,

Well that's 45 minutes of dross I won't be bothered watching again.

Damn phone. Appalling, it's Appalling.

Poor first half by Bolton. The good news is that we have not conceded. Back to the slow tippy tappy stuff which creates nothing and allows Shrew to set and reset whenever we have possession. Charles and Fossey frustrated with the slow football which gives them no chance to use their pace to run behind. Have to play with a quicker tempo in the 2nd half.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Well, you can see why both teams are bottom-half.

I wouldn't be surprised to see one or other sub striker at half-time.

No point having two strikers if they're isolated - indeed, you're just giving yourself a man less.

Nobody below 13th is winning.Tune up a bit in the second half and it might not be a bad day.

[Prufrock]

Pondered the same myself.

[TANGODANCER]

They are playing more aggressively than us and their passing game is really good. It isn't about possession but all attack. We've won nothing in the air up front and don't look dangerous at all. Fossey is earning his stripes for me. Trafford has made a couple of saves but needs some coaching on what's next. 0-0 is good and their boss won't agreee

Come on Whites...

Honestly, if Evat subs Fossey at half time after that performance I might join the #Evattout wankers.

He's the only player finding a man and trying to get forward at pace.

Dapo's coming on.

His touch, short passing and positioning are poor. He’s energetic, no doubt, but I’d rather we had three proper players up top.

Yep. Another sprinter in football boots for me. There can be a time and a place for that, but he's not offered anything substantial. We need more higher up.
