    Is this our year ?

    True, but they are still well placed. It was only a few weeks back we were near the bottom of the form table. I have a feeling they will come on strong towards the end of the season. Long way to go, but agree with above post, fancy ourselves, Oxford, Rotherham and Ipswich to be in the mix for...

    Rumour from the boardroom

    The last update I had was boxing day. I'm obviously doubtful myself now after being given the impression it was 'nailed on' for so long. A lesson in why you should never repeat these things in public! It is still possible for end of Jan I'm told, but there is a snag, but don't know what this is...

    Rumour from the boardroom

    I think he was making a comparison with the Mowbray season, which I think is a fair one. Around the new year/Xmas period that season we got 15.5K against Oldham, 17.7K for Port Vale, 15.5K for Walsall and 17.1K for Burton, in 4 consecutive games and the away followings from those teams wasn't...

    Happy Christmas one and all !!!

    Hope everyone has had a great day. Mine didn't start well, bought the eldest an ipad, which was stretching the budget massively, but she needs it for her design studies, she opens the box and there is shampoo inside, a rogue Amazon driver in the area apparently swapping stuff out. Was fuming...

    Villa Fans on the train - should be running our Trust

    Can't agree with this. Blackpool, Charlton etc were all united behind a common enemy. The problem we've had for years is that we can't even agree about who we should be protesting about and to. The whole thing is a convuluted mess. There have been a lot of protests, in our relegation season, we...

    M6 Today

    Managed to avoid it, but it's very quiet here. Roost much quieter than normal, guess a few are stuck in it.

    More Wasps BS?

    Just clocked that. Bit of a departure for them.

    Bayliss?

    Seems odd they didn't ship him out on loan straight away considering they have no U23 side.

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    The frustration for me is that we are a good side, so why don't we put teams to the sword? Why, when we get our noses in front do we stop playing? Luton were ruthless in that sense last season. We can talk about the quality of our strikers, but there have been times when at 1-0 up we've barely...

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    That's fair, it was more of a general point I was making, which may have been a bit crude, which was in response those who appear to be trying to gloss over a very poor run of form with 'yeah, but we play nice stuff at times'.

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    I think you're missing the point a bit. Winning and playing great football is the ultimate aim, but we'd all swap places with Wycombe right now wouldn't we? I doubt many of their fans are complaining about not being entertained. Winning is everything.

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    People are being balanced. Nobody is being hysterical. I think it's precisely because we can see that we are a good side that people are quite rightly asking questions. Some of the stats are startling and our form is poor right now. There is plenty of time to put this right, but you do feel this...

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    I think away from home it's a valid point. We went in at half time winning against Oxford, Sunderland, Peterborough and Shrewsbury and came away with 3 points from 12. We become very negative when we take the lead in a game.

    Match Thread Shrewsbury Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Dec

    And then we don't play on Boxing Day. A loss next week and we could feasibly be bottom half going to Wycombe. Next week so important.

    Match Thread Shrewsbury Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Dec

    2 wins in 10, no away wins, no back to back wins all season, only won by more than a single goal once, lowest amount of goals scored in top 10. I've seen better stats. I'm not sure we're as good as people think or our league position suggests. Got what we deserved today.

    General Election 2019 thread

    This is the point. I understand some people will be gutted, but he was simply unelectable, as has been proven. Labour will regroup, elect a unifying leader and will come back I'm sure. They've lost the North and they've lost the centre ground, but moving to the centre doesn't mean they can't be...

    General Election 2019 thread

    Thing is the markets were predicting a Conservative majority right up until 9.59pm last time. A lot of this is based on private exit polls that could be way off.

    Sudden spike in value of sterling, some suggestion exit poll data is leaking. On the spread markets predicted Tory seats going up* *I don't fully understand spread markets for the record.
