Premiership Pep rests players all the time . But Warne does not think that Rooney is capable playing third tier football , to give Smith a breather. Im not sure that Warne doesn't think Rooney is capable. I think it's more a case that Smith hasn't really made any big mistakes and looked like he needed a rest.

Name 1 notable thing Hourihane did on Tuesday? White was everywhere and i felt he was the 2nd best player on the pitch, behind only Dobbin. He made double the number of tackles anyone else on the pitch made (7 more than Hourihane). He also blocked shots and played more risky passes in to our forwards. My view on the night is also backed up by Whoscored. Hourihane was by far our worst starter, woth a rating of 6.37, whilst White was pur 4th best 7.59. It's also time for Sibley to get a run in his best position. His dribbling drags the opposition out of position, creating space for others. Something we lack with both Hourihane and White in midfield. jimtastic56, Carl Sagan, jeff and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Who are we playing - Shrewsbury- it’s Cotterill so the ball will be in the air so Roberts will start and the ball will be by passing midfield if we let them have it. If we are winning late on I fully expect to see Davies on the pitch adding to the numbers. I am not expecting a game of football to break out so hopefully we start very very well.

He was doing a brilliant job tidying up the second balls and giving possession back to us. It's often an underrated job that is very important.

The older ones become more prone to injury I think the physios would say I think another point is that if Warne gets one of Rooney and Tommo more experience, and if they rise to the challenge , then we have a team with better balance.

OssieEnd Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 They are bringing a good following ,and they're doing well. This is almost a must win game for them if they want to make the play offs. I'm sure PW is making this clear to our lads. I've had a peek on their site and they seem a good bunch, very respectful of us as a club . I'm hoping the PP stewards can do better than this though with their away support. Am I ok posting this on a game thread ? If not apologies.

Rambalin Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I see they have been told that we will have 4 pyro dogs at the turnstiles and are quite dismissive of them. We must have 4 good one's though as I cannot recall any pyrotechnics this or last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Out of interest just had a peep at the Shrewsbury fans website. Seem a decent bunch but it really is their cup final. About 50% of their average home crowd are coming which in itself is commendable but it goes to show how we always have to be at our very very best.

I'm not sure how them bringing about 50% of their average home crowd "goes to show we always have to be at our very very best" but it certainly isn't a result we should take for granted. As someone else mentioned, it's getting close to must win territory for them which is more of cause for caution than the number of supporters they are bringing.

We've lost two cup finals at home already - Plymouth's and Port Vale's. We don't want another. And obviously a much larger away support than they are used to is hardly going to hinder them. It helped Plymouth and Vale. Edited March 3, 2023 by Brailsford Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes to show because it is a big deal for Shrewsbury Town and is likely to spur their team on beyond a regular match. Hence its like a cup final for them. Isn't that obvious?

I think it's a big deal for the Shrewsbury fans (I'm trying hard not to appear patronising) but I reckon for the players it's no bigger deal than playing any of the other top 6 teams. As I say, I reckon the fact that it's almost a must win game for them is more reason not to take the game lightly than the number of fans they are bringing. I think we know from experience that a big away following doesn't always equate to an above average performance.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 If the fans are irrelevant to the team why do our players consistently refer to our support? Not sure what you are arguing about really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Just add it looks like a near 30,,000 crowd. Remarkable support. What a fan base. Derby4Me, SKRam and derbydaz22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
