So .... what will JW's tactics regarding substitutions be, I wonder? Bring on a couple of defenders and park the bus, re-inforce the strikers and try for a 3rd goal, or leave things as they are until the 88th minute? :wink:

As things stand, Wigan Athletic are top of the table (Will Grigg scored their 1st goal today) .... Have Shrewsbury lost the plot?

Wombles piling on the pressure now, 7 corners and 7 shots on target now.

Need a third I think.

Anyone else noticed Portsmouth's slow but certain rise up the table? Pity that couldn't have been us.
Looking as if we might just fumble our way to grasping a defeat from the hands of a certain win. :(
Keep 'em out me babbies!!

Agreed...perhaps time to give Agyei a go to try and hold the ball up....at the moment we don't have a lot of physicality on the pitch!

If the Wombles don't win this 3-2 I think their fans will be less than pleased after all that pressure (Gillingham match springs to mind).

Another genius sub, Agyie on but Tyler off....it must be a law of physics (according to Whitneyland ) that these two should never be on a field together, (they might actually score a goal apiece when a draw looks likely) ...but, he knows what he's doing after all!

Trouble is I'm not sure we can defend like Gillingham.

It is winnable. Remember how good our stats were against Gills ! The Wombles may well be cursing their luck just as we were.

Fingers crossed. Come on you Saddlers :)

Agreed especially as we are without 2 of our more experienced players in Wilson and Edwards!!!
