There is a huge buzz about Town at the moment... can’t remember it being as good as this for a long time, and we’re attracting a crowd size better than many whilst in the Championship
But we’re still not the finished article on the pitch, as shown second half against Peterbrough and first half against Wimbledon, and The Shrews are a better outfit than our last two wins and they are seemingly well up for it.
Team will need to be on it, Norwood will need to take his chances (pleased he admitted his profligacy after Bolton and wants to improve).
The Judge dilemma needs sorting, and I feel half the problem has been his mind set, and that he can deliver value out wide. Do we need bothering Skuse and Downes at home? Huws looks sharp.
I’m really looking forward to seeing KVY at home, he is going to be a big impact on the season and team - he looked (finally) to be a proper full back, who can venture forwar.
A win today and the Town really will be rocking |  |

... we need a runner to move the Shrews defence about.
In our Bolton starting 11, that is only really Edwards... and a far advanced Jackson.
Rowe and Mizouni can run at defences.
But was thinking if we play judge wide right... he can go to number 10 at times... skuse drops into right back... and KVY is the one to bomb at the defence???
Only on occasion but that can work | |

We could really do with an early goal to set the tone as Shrewsbury seem fairly solid at the back.
You can't drop Skuse or Downes, without a doubt our best 2 players so far this season. Both have proven they can have an affect in attack as well. |  |

Yes broadly agree on Skuse/Downes... as long as they are working on that ability for one to sit and the other to push forward and pull the defence off downs and Jackson
Skuse/Hyam, skuse/Douglas etc etc always seemed to fail... apart from the odd game where one bombed on...
An effective central midfield two is key to our success | |

Indeed, it's also worth noting that attendances went up last season despite the lowly position? |  |

Which is exactly what a lot of Mick outers said would happen, and were mocked for it by Inners. To be fair. |  |

Surely Georgiou is the player you are describing? He can run at anyone better than our other players given the limited amount I saw the other night.

Downes is nothing like Douglas or Hyam though. Just because he can tackle it doesn't mean he's a holding player, he's a box to box player. Huws can tackle, Bishop can tackle, they are both box to box players too. |  |

Exactly right, I am finding it hard to understand why some people seem to insist on seeing playing our two best players at the moment (Downes and Skuse) is a negative thing.
Downes is not exclusively a defensive midfield player and in time he may well become a complete midfield player, he already does most of the things that a complete midfield player does. |  | | |

The outers also felt Mick was holding us back on the pitch and we'd improve after he left. To be fair. | |

Fine to be optimistic isn't it. But there was always the core of a principled opposition to the style, even if it meant we didn't do as well results wise, and that has been carried through now into reality. | |

Ah, entertainment over results-something that I have never understood but obviously some people see results as secondary. | | | |

You’re right Stokie....
Such is the scale of our sqaud... you forget he’s really pushing,
Edwards, El Mizouni and Rowe for a place... and unlike them he can support Kenlock more effectively
We really do have competition all over the pitch... and Lambert is prepared to change.. avoids the disease of limp player performances that have kept the fan base away

Er, so? Is there some sort of rule where you can only discuss the current manager? | |

That's not what he said. He said he doesn't get placing entertainment over results. Ideally we'd like both of course, but I agree with him that as a Town supporter a win is the main thing. I'd never go away from a turgid performance like the AFC game and claim I'd rather we'd lost 4-3. | |

I don't understand somebody putting "entertainment" ahead of their teams results.
Result first and if getting the result is entertaining so much the better. | | | |

No one ever wants to lose. The argument is against playing 'negatively' as a default style, hoping to constrain the opposition before you think about taking it to them. Yes it's more of a gamble and it can go very wrong, but my point was, Mick outers always said they'd enjoy it more that way and they have stayed true to their word. | |

The problem with Mick was apart from 14-15, he'd got us stuck in some kind of dull groundhog day. Neither entertaining, nor particularly spectacular results. We were just there. We needed entertainment or else the fanbase was likely to continue dwindling and Mick was unlikely to give us that more than in once a blue moon. Obviously would've preferred results to get better as the entertainment did, but something had to be done to break the monotony and I'm hopeful that although we took a few steps back that we have the right the manager to at least get us challenging in the Championship with entertaining football. For now though, I'm just enjoying winning more regularly with some entertainment. | |
