16-19 October, weekend armchair viewing

[Paul S]

F A Trophy action

[DCI Harry Batt]

First booking, for Shrews, for a foul on the Pig.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Another booking, again for a foul on the Pig.

[ChrisJ]

I'm relying on you for colour during this afternoon's match, TT as I'm reduced to following Wombles/Shrews on BBC text.

A certain home inclination is expected and understood.

[DCI Harry Batt]

I know probably three more of our players than I do of Shrews', mind.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Ooh close from Longman.

[Third rate Leszno]

Carlisle are fucking battering Colchester here - this can't last, surely? 2-0 though so I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Shrews' started better, we've been having a decent period for the last ten or so.

[Logan Mountstuart]

If Havaerts and Pulisic get it together, Chelsea are going to be terrifying, especially with Ziyek still to come.

Hopefully Chelsea's Frank Lampard will find a way to fuck it all up.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Carlisle are fucking battering Colchester here - this can't last, surely? 2-0 though so I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Is that home or away?

[DCI Harry Batt]

Ebanks-Landell or similar is one of the booked.

[ChrisJ]

Ebanks-Landell or similar is one of the booked.

Him and Pierre.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Dons booking. Our Finnish Brentford loanee whose name I don't know

[DCI Harry Batt]

Seddon shot, saved.

[Third rate Leszno]

We're at home, TT.

[ChrisJ]

Shrews' started better, we've been having a decent period for the last ten or so.

The online match stats says Salop have had about twice as many passes and with a better accuracy - but failed to have an attempt on goal. This will be the epitaph for our season.

I thought Pickford’s challenge was a definite red. I’m not entirely sure what the amped up fool needs to do for Southgate to notice what a liability he is but I’d be very surprised if Ancelotti hasn’t.

They signed Swedish keeper Olsen from Roma on deadline day. I remember reading it then that it was widely seen as a potential replacement for Pickford if (Pickford) continued to have a goal a game in him from playing badly.

[DCI Harry Batt]

We're at home, TT.

Cool. I like your place. Proper ground.

[DCI Harry Batt]

The online match stats says Salop have had about twice as many passes and with a better accuracy - but failed to have an attempt on goal. This will be the epitaph for our season.

Yeah that sounds about right.

[Third rate Leszno]

2-1 now, really crap defending.

[DCI Harry Batt]

HT 0-0. We've had three chances, Shrews had one right at the end there

[DCI Harry Batt]

For me, that means we had the better of the half. I give not a fig for passing and possession.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Christ there are about twenty pages of stats. Dear god.

[ChrisJ]

For me, that means we had the better of the half. I give not a fig for passing and possession.

If it leads to 0 attempts on goal, it's hard to argue.

With the honourable exception of OTF's NickSTFU, the Shrewsbury message board is utterly avoidable and I have't posted there since about 2003. (Some there are still whining about BLM.) Having said all that, this made I laff:

"Be nice if the ref could pop into each of the changing rooms at half time and remind them there are people at home watching this."

[ursus arctos]

Olsen is a good keeper but was absolutely calamitous at Roma

A reclamation project would be very Carletto
