    Deserved win IMO. We were streets ahead first half and they were a little better than us second.

    Keeping it in the corner against Shrewsbury. What a time to be alive. :1980_boogie_down:

    Ref gutted, he lost his 50p 12 fold and he has to teach year 2 kids about long division over Zoom on Monday. :emoticon-0178-rock::emoticon-0178-rock:

    In the first half maybe - second half we were dire.
    I just wish we could play well for the full 90 minutes

    I'd agree with that, slim pickings today but he was consistently involved and positive throughout and put a shift in. Seems to have a good engine on him.

    I’m pleased. They had it all second half and still didn’t really create too much, so I don’t think they deserved an equaliser

    A win is a win..

    Good 1st half poor 2nd half

    Old problems still in evidence, but a couple of decent moves...

    Onwards and upwards?

    Shrewsbury were the form team weren't they, that's what people were saying.

    We beat them and played some good stuff.

    Scowen and O'Brien stood out for me, never stopped working.

    Winchester looked like a player as well.

    Time for a <cheers>

    Is it me, or has 'Fergie Time' become the second half norm?

    Yeah that’s what I said. We were very good first half. They were a little better than us second but not much. So deserved win. They didn’t have a clear cut chance second half that I remember and Burge never made a save

    ? Not sure what the issue is there. They’re in form. But they never looked like scoring second half fir me. We managed their attacks, centrally anyhow, pretty well. Desperate fir Hume to come back in though
