Ignore where it says Spized!! Had a play, no idea if I even like them! Tried to take a little inspiration from the past. Apologies for boring collars - doesn't seem to be an option to change them.

Why change it
Just saying were in play off places now.

I know. As I said, I didn't mean anything by it. But the accidental spelling was amusing ?
Keep up the positive posting b4 ?

The Spy Who Didz Me 

Maybe stumbled onto a chant for Didz here..........Goldmember, to the tune of goldfinger ???

I will always keep doing them guys I do sometimes think the lads read them.

What I am just being postive and just giving my view of things.

B4's rallying calls are way too valuable to be lost in the ups and downs of the matchday thread. They keep us feeling positive and deserve a separate thread of their own.
Keep going B4. COYR ?

IF Beilik stays fit. That is a Massive IF. I have a horrible feeling we have another George Thorne situation on our hands.

Can you be my ‘cheer me up’ mentor ?

Do we still owe Arsenal money for him.
Another shocking transfer.
At least when we can only sign freebies it means we can't spaff millions down the drain.

I don’t think Sky will be involved with league 1 on Boxing Day ?

Hey come on now, we will finish mid table comfortably!!!!

Sky will just alter the kick off time or date for the relegation battle.

Why are people fretting so much......Shrewsbury conceded just 51 goals last season, they are very tough to break down and yet, arguably, we should have won 1 0 with the Stearman chance, and we wouldn't be having this debate. 
Building from the back is the new norm in football. we are doing it with L1 players who have just met each other. We've made a reasonable if not spectacular start....but already the moaning starts and the chipping away at a manager after 4 league games....we have a very strange supporter base.

Overall I'm more positive about Rosenior now than when he was first announced. 
I think there is a few things people should be keeping in mind. 
First is that using average xG to compare us to the rest of the league is premature to draw any conclusions. It's a noisy statistic and I highly doubt 4 games is enough to draw a meaningful conclusion from or to compare us to the rest of the league.
Secondly is that we are tactically trying to embed something new with a largely new squad and with a really short pre season. It takes time for these to properly embed and gain fluidity. And we likely haven't even seen the true plan A yet what with the lack of a RB and McGoldrick not being fit so far. So any talk of plan b or shifting things is premature because frankly we need this time to properly embed what we are trying to do for this season and beyond. People talk about lack of bravery but ultimately that comes from the above. It's much easier to be brave when match fit, tactically clued up and familiar with your teammates.
To be honest with all that said I think 7 from 12 points is a really good return. It's positive because we are picking up points at a good rate whilst misfiring a bit as things embed tactically. And I don't expect we will be in full flow at least for another month or two.
I think the plan tactically at an abstract level is a good one and if well executed will see us being able to dominate games and break down teams that play a low block more comfortably than last season. Two physical fast wingers stretch the pitch and provide a option to go long. They can stay forwards almost the entire time which keeps the opposition wary as we can break easily if they overcommit. They can do this because of the inverted fullbacks who support the midfield. Both of these factors also lead in turn to allowing a lot of space and attacking freedom to the two 8s or the 8 and the 10 in midfield so they can in theory hurt teams. Its a good plan with solid tactical thinking behind and we've only seen glimpses of it firing so far.
My only concern is the persistence with trying a midfield with Smith and Hourihane as the advanced options which has looked unbalanced and stagnant since the friendly with Leicester. This is the part that I just don't see Roesnior's think aside from a misguided attempt to keep things tight, go with experience when in doubt and play the new players. Its just not working though and needs addressing going forwards. Especially as I think we have the players to fix the problems. Any of Sibley, Knight, McGoldrick or Thompson played over one of them likely sees a better balance.
If nothing else I think the time has come to evaluate whether we are actually going to get a RB before the window closes and if not perhaps it's time to move Knight from that position and convert Smith to it.
TLDR; It takes time to set a team up from nothing, time we haven't had. Whilst there can be concerns so far this is better than expected for this point in the season.

I really cant wait for Fleetwood on saturday and with another sell out away game do I think we need to play 2 upfront yes I do or a front 3 upfront we make to easy for opposition knowing playing 1 upfront with like 2 wing backs. Do I think we  need to be playing with goldmick fit to play but needs time get upto speed do think james Collins needs to play with another striker or attacking midfielder some like selby that not afford to turn and run at player if not selby then maybe they prestion striker we signed or move lang upfront that will scare defenders to death.

Do you mean people were dying to get in ?
