Shrewsbury are a typical Cotteril team, cynical out of possession but some good players - Norburn & Vela - and they break quickly. | |

Yes, Atkins mentioned bravery on the ball a couple of times. That cautiousness has been conditioned into these players and it takes time to change that. Add a bit of confidence and familiarity to this approach, plus a few new players, and it looks a lot better. | |

It’s encouraging that even at the dog end of this season, with many of these players on their way out, that little changes and snippets of cooks style is beginning to show through. | |

Are we seeing some Cook green shoots?? on 20:13 - May 4 with 1089 views | unstableblue | seem to be moving the ball quicker and more with more adventure | |

We're massively over complicating it in both thirds, intricate little first touch layoffs etc that rarely come off, there's no need for it. | |

Sorry but can’t let the “both thirds “ comment go without chuckling a little Think I knew what you meant though - up top and in defence ? | |

Ha, yes. Guilty of over playing defensively but it's in the final third that's so frustrating to watch. Same old story, lacking quality, composure and decision making against sh1t opposition. State of that layoff from Norwood. Sums us up completely. | |

Good to see us carrying the ball and committing players. A bit more quality around the 18 yard box and we’d be home and dry by now. Still to many unforced errors but it’s an improved display. | |
