    So far so good, Mcgeady assist and Wyke header, excellent. Really should've had a couple more.

    I suspect we might another few goals cos they look like getting one.

    Fingers crossed

    I noticed early on he was straight into us to take a throw in from the exact spot it went out. Must be another school teacher

    Much better than midweek that, moving the ball quickly and forwards on the deck is nice to see. Scowen is getting better with each game as well, not being asked to play as a creative link is doing him the world of good. Snappy in the tackles and tries to drive things forward. Hopefully we can create a bit more this half and get the second goal as we still look a little shaky at the back on occasions.

    Just wish Power was as good with his feet as what his mind thinks he is.
    He's had the right idea loads of times but doesn't have the quality to carry it through

    Very good first 35. Played with desire and commitment. Deserved a second. One or two poor decisions in final 3rd cost us. Still the sort of performance to enjoy. Dropper off a bit final 10 and made a couple of individual mistakes. Start the secone half fast please because if we get the second goal we could see a couple more after. Get it to McGeady as he has his defender all over the place.

    Imo he's playing canny at right back. Better than he does in midfield.

    Between McGeady, O'brien and Diamond, there were 6 or 7 final balls that were missed which could have been decisive.

    The way we're playing creates chances but leaves the full backs stranded if we lose the ball.

    That leaves Leadbitter exposed if they get across the half-way line.

    The centre backs have to be on their toes behind him.

    We need to score again, Shrewsbury have no option but to try to score.

    I think he's done ok, suppose it's new to him so can't expect too much, just Hope he can execute his passing a bit better, he's got the right idea

    That’s 2 or 3. We’ve committed one foul and he nearly dropped the card trying to get it out of is pocket!
