    Looking at that team I'm expecting a couple of goals for us but think they'll score ...

    ... I think Scowen will score today, his confidence is slowly growing. I'd expect Power to make a 3 in the middle if we're attacking, otherwise we could get caught out there.

    Glad to see O'Brien there as well, he at least creates space for Wyke.

    I'm looking forward to this <cheers>

    I will stick with my score on the predictions 3-2 which is rare for me. Normally full of confidence on a Saturday morning now I just want the 3 points. Winning ugly will do.

    Well lads, if we can't beat Shrewsbury at home it's time to give up on this season and hope for a big clear out in the summer.

    <laugh> What the actual ****???? First time I've ever seen anyone claim someone can't play because they can't take a throw-in. Absolutely ****ing bizarre statement

    TBF the leaders, Hull, lost at home to Shrewsbury and they've lost 2 more games than us.

    I doubt Plymouth would've felt robbed if we'd won tbh.

    All these games are hard, we just need to play to our capabilities imo.

    I don't think we're that bad at the moment.

    I'm hoping it's because we're in a transfer window ...

    ... bring him on a 3-0 up and keep passing to him ;)

    Full backs have to be able to take throw ins.

    Otherwise the wing back has to leave the space the throw in will be aimed at meaning a forward player has to drop back.

    Or else the centre back has to come way out of position and leave you in a mess if the throw in is turned over.

    Either situation just invites pressure.

    What time before we go 1-0 down?

    Be nice just go for the kill, get the early goal and then go for the jugular and have the game won by HT.

    Would rather have seen Sanderson at left back over McFadzean personally
