No bite or thrust in the final third. Sibley, Dobbin or McGoldrick needed. 

Need somebody else to carry the ball.

Bird and Smith are two similar players who are playing an identical role. They’re just rotating. One drops deep and starts building possession while the other is anonymous. And then they switch again.

Just passing around with ball to feet won’t move the opposition out of position. We need runners, or just go direct.

Looking at the replay, Stearman is already facing the goal as the ball comes to him over his left shoulder, so he's effectively heading blind.
If he keeps his eye on the ball, and put his neck to work on contact, it's a goal 9 times out of 10!  

The power was already in the ball.  It only needed direction.

It’s almost like we need a quick burst of pace through the middle or out wide?

Someone needs to be shooting at goal as we saw against Barnsley just a simple deflection and it’s in and Barnsley have done the same again tonight from what I saw

I reckon we will win this..they will get knackered as all they have done is chase for 45 minutes...should be nicely set up for a dominant 2nd half..and hopefully 2 or 3 goals...we have the fresh legs on the bench...just need to get at them more with quicker passing..

In our last two games it is us which have struggled for fitness the more the game has gone on.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Shrewsbury come out and press higher and start winning second balls.

The last 5 minutes was excellent, great save with Barkhuizen chance though Conor shouldve played Collins in, how stearman didn’t score we’ll never know. But apart from that last 5 mins we weren’t threatening. Shrewsbury we’re more threatening until that point despite having less than 20% of the ball. Cotterill will be delighted at half time.

Need to step it up, so much of the ball we need Sibley on. If we don’t get a win tonight then it’s our proper welcome to League 1. It’s games like these that will define our season

 

And Shrewsbury are f****** terrible
