here we are again! now on paper shrews are on to another thrashing on saturday, but wait this is only the prologue. colchester took 4 points from their first 9 games, and recently have spurted up the league with wins at orient, and swindon, and home wins against carlisle, stevo and hartlepool but they came unstuck at swindon. p14 w5 d4 L5 f15 a16 gd -1 points 19 position 12th scorers ibehre 4, forward oknuonghae 2 def. rose 2 def so few goals so far from midfield. shrews home form p7 w3 d1 L3 f7 a7 colch. away form p7 w2 d1 L4 f4 a9 from these figures can we assume they are a bit weak away from home? last few results suggest not. shrews can they recover in time for the u's visit, as another defeat will surely conemn town to a relegation spot. we have little ammo in the cupboard and i suspect roland and graham will limp on to january with a point here and there remember we are without our marv for 2 more games and gornell is totally out of form. i believe graham has no alternative to playing youth up front and i would give bradshaw 1 more try. in midfield i really believe wright has to regain form and he may have a goal or an assist in him soon. when is graham going to play richards in the middle. now i have read a load of old tosh about tuesday, it is obvious the lads need a lift. look at crewe and shrews on tuesday, both 1-0 down to an early goal, crewe 1 down to swindon. result crewe 2 swindon 1. that tells you all about committment. so come on shrews, gird up your loins . betaj365 predicts 1-1 4668 but head tells him it could be worse! wrap up warm it will be a cold northerly blast and the clocks go back. oh dear is anything going right for shrews? fffffloreat salopia! shiver!
Metabet predictions are below....and if they are anywhere near as good as betting league then they are best ignored! Shrewsbury 3-1 Colchester Attendance: 5,999 Scorers: Richards (2) and Proctor (1)
I can't go to this one, for which I felt relieved earlier this week. With Helan and Proctor brought in, I'm starting to wish I could be there. I might not even hear this on ShrewsPlayer either as I'm hoping to be at a Greek league game if I can get tickets. Nice that Metashrew's crowd prediction allows for my absence, although there are 4 of us so it should really be 5,996!
Things are back to normal, KDs is predicting Shrewsbury to lose We're gonna win Shrewsbury 2 v Colchester 1 Parry Helan Att: 4,950 (cold day and too many losses) Come you shrews, breathe on 'em Salop
Shrewsbury........ 0....... Colchester..... 0 4650 we have no punch up front, but GT should have had the lads up for a fight the two new boys are unknown quantities until next match
