They grew stronger as half went on. We were pretty ineffective in the end.

Timlin is having to play too central so there's no width at allon left

 

[mattitouk]

Shrews had 7 attempts on goal, but only 1 shot on target, but we have had no attempts so far, let alone any on target. Quite happy for the half time whistle to be blown.
Time to re-group & re-think.

 

[mattitouk]

On the plus side I thought that Rea & White played well in their duties

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Phil Brown have to earn his wages by geeing them up in the changing room. That first half was more like Walsall but worst! If we don't up our game, we going to get beat there!

 

[MilkeySUFC]

Us Them
0 shots 7
0 on target 1
0 corners 3

but at least we're smashing them in the fouls stat!

10 fouls 2

Im hoping Knight Percival gets a 2nd yellow to help our cause

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Think that pretty well sums it up. :sad:

Chris Phillips ‏@CJPhillips1982 4 minil y a 4 minutes Southend-on-Sea, England
First half stats: Blues shots on target 0, Corners 0, Shrewsbury shots on target: 1, Corners: 3

Still 0-0, so everything still to play for. PB needs to earn his money at half-time, finding us a way to pose more of a threat against the system Shrewsbury are employing.

Get Timlin off and McLaughlin on :thumbsup:

Anyone else see the usual sub coming of Weston around the 70+ minute mark against tired legs?

Wouldnt be a bad idea to be fair.

AAAh Cr*p.. how did I not pick up on that, must have read the team sheet a dozen times.

Ooooh well, that clarifies that question then doesnt it!! :hilarious:

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Look like we played Peterborough at the right time, as they cruising at Oldham.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

First corner for us............Barrett finishes shooting it wide.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

How's Wordsworth getting on ?

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Come on SOUTHEND

 

[mattitouk]

I was thinking the same thing, Lets just hope that the managers of Millwall, Scunthorpe & Crewe can hang onto their jobs until after we have played them.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Worrall almost got our first shot on target, blocked by the very man who should got sent off in first half!
