Watching a 1980's video of MOTD with Jimmy at the helm and former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson. Forgot how the format was, but they have just 3 games all with much longer highlights and pick one game from each league. Nowadays it's just the premier league and only about 3 or 4 minutes of...

Not sure if this has been mentioned. If the season can't be finished then would a likely fairer outcome be a pools panel projecting the results? I know pools panels have sat before and decided results of postponed games (home win, away win, draw) Could this be the fairest way to finalise the...

I'm hearing rumours football will be held behind closed doors starting this week end meaning Shrewsbury! Also not to be shown in pubs and public spaces. There will be a plan for watching at home apparently. More to come....

Many on here talking about players of the season and stuff which got me thinking about what will happen when we are promoted? To gain perspective the issue for me is who we lose, and who may not be up to 'stepping up'? Of those I would say: Kelly, Shipley, Westbrooke, Bakayoko, Mason and...

So the teams in and around are coming up on the fixtures. They are all home fixures except Ipswich. Pompey on Tuesday then two away games before Rotherham at home. Then it's Sunderland at home, Ipswich (the one away) A couple of easy games then Wycombe at home and Peterboro' at home. This is...

This nonsense about returning to the Ricoh while we are mid season could be a disaster. Lets not upset the apple cart while we have been doing so well at Birmingham. Whywould we return to a poorer pitch and have to get used to playing there again? If a return is possible for the start of next...

Saturday should see a few changes tothe side. We are just a ittle stale and unable again to turn possession into goals. There are some energy levels looking low for the likes of Shippers, Westbrooke, McCallum. We can't keep a good players like Allen on the bench and then expect him to turn it...

So we have drawn 11 times and lost just 3 all season thus far. Are these draws going to be the death of us if we want to get promoted? It's frustrating to think a coupleof those draws converted to winsand we would be clear at the top.

Would he be a good back up for Godden? Fallen in the pecking order at Sheff.Utd, getting rid by mutual consent. He is older now but still very fit obviously, and at this level surely worth a half season shout to have in the camp?

Have we ever had a player score back to back hatricks? Has it ever been done away from home?

It's clear Baka has not got what it takes for us and Biamou is a classic striker who given the chance will score becuase his movement is good where Baka's is zero. Now I'd say Max with Godden is the next try out. But O'Hare was very good second half in that 10 role. Allen must come in but we...

It's going to be a break out week next Saturday with a number of clubs with good starts playing each other. We need to make our statement with a win at Rotherham. A few others will fall off the pace.

I read that there are plenty of suitors for Bayliss, favourite being Villa with a tag of 2.5/3m. Is that a fair price? Also we are still very interested in Bright coming back. Will Bayliss departure give us the funds to bring in Bright and what would Wolves ask for him? Based on last season...

In the light of ground sharing with Birmingham for this season, and the prospect that we could be in the same position for a few seasons longer (with EFL sanction) what must be going through his mind? We are going to lose income affecting squad building. Convincing and signing players has...

Playing at the Ricoh looks increasingly less likely again. I think someone dropped the ball here somewhere...a lawyer for SISU I suspect. Lets think about it for a moment. SISU drop the legals so they can have talks and get a deal at the Ricoh. Time not on their side. At last we shout...thank...

With three from Portsmouth, Sunderland, Charlton and Doncaster still in the league next year and Bolton and Ipswich joining from the Championship will it be any easier to be promoted or reach the play offs? While Bolton may sink like we did a couple of years ago, the others will be very...

anyone?

They look like they have lost the will to live half the time. They have lost the team ethic and seem to play as individuals. Doyle is a big miss I have to say as he commanded respect from them all and was clearly the gel holding things together. He was dropped and now claimed to be injured? I...

It was posted on the match day thread about our past record at Shrewsbury. Historical results though are meaningless tbf. A new crop of players and a different league has no bearing on the past. They are just anomalies. What is not an anomaly are the players form. It could be argued only Thomas...

Now that things are settling down what's everyone's thoughts and opinions going forward? Have SISU largely done the right thing this last year or so? Appointing and backing MR's, resisting a sale or two of certain players. Is there less animosity towards them? Do we accept they may still have a...
