How many did each team have in the 1st 55m, and again in the last 35m? In the last 35m, Shrewsbury were putting all men behind the ball to protect their lead, as well as us getting desperate. First 55m, we were patient, playing possession, creating quality chances. Quality > quantity.

How have I missed the point? I may as well have wrote an essay on the formation 4-4-2 in pre-season, welcome to scroll through my comments. Moving to 4-4-2 didn't help, that said, we also missed out on the passing prowess of Fleck (especially with Bailey not on yet) and our passing game...

I love stats, because most of the time, they prove my point, no one can argue McSheff is better than Fleck because we're talking about a player who has scored more, assisted more, in less games. I will admit he was disappointing, but these last 2 games you can tell he has lost weight, looks...

Oh didn't see 3 amazing balls he played. No his several passes to Moussa, McSheff, he brought our players into the game. I agree on the Jennings point.

That wouldn't happen, considering the first 8 games cost us badly.

Kilbane probably isn't as fast as Fleck, in fact, I wouldn't say there isn't much in it between Fleck and McSheff. If you compare Fleck and McSheff, from what you watch, would justify starting McSheff over Fleck!? As I say, you don't need to be 100mph to be a good footballer, you need skill...

To a team we should've beat and who hadn't won away, before today.

Good point.

We did to be fair. We created less, because the passing game went when Fleck came off. Shrewsbury had less chances pre Fleck because the passing game went. We really should've brought Bailey on before we did, had we had both Bailey and Fleck on the pitch at the same time...

If we was to bring Clarke on, I would've took McG off, playing poor and played his worse game for CCFC. The passing game went when Fleck came off.

He has been a weak link for the last 4 games. Stevenage, his ridiculous lunging tackle - which he missed - made Baker have to put in an, equally, bad tackle to give away a penalty. It sounds like I'm 'having a go' at Christie, I rate him v highly, I think he is better than Clarke, but we...

Not your post, the post you were criticising. Your post was humerous, and unfortunately, on the money. I thought we were the better team, but you guys did cope fairly well and had, fewer, but just as good chances e.g. Morgan 1st half. Good luck for you guys to, wanted Shrewsbury to do well...

I don't do .5 ratings Grendel.

McSheffrey has 1 (v Pompey) in the league. You take their goals:game ratio, Fleck is better he scores 0.11 a game, to McSheffrey's 0.052. There may be only 2 games in it. Fleck also scored his goals on the LM. Fleck also has a better assist:game ratio, Fleck has 0.35 to Sheffs 0.21. Again...

McSheffrey.

He missed an open goal, he failed, as per, in his defensive duties, thankfully Adams more than coped. Down the left, Adams was more of a threat, put in good crosses and cut in to have shots, the real Adams. McSheffrey was good 1st half, probably a 7 at this point, but 2nd half, about a 5 and...

No McSheff? Yep, why would you start him? Fleck has more assists more goals, and the last 2 games, has been a better player. In fact, McSheff was shit v MKD, but got an assist, fair play, had a good 1st half today, played shit 2nd. I have to admit, McSheff has been playing above expectations...

By no means comparing the 2, but on that logic, wouldn't Xavi be too slow to make it!? If you seen the 3 magnificent balls he played today, you'd think pace isn't needed here, the lad has pure footballing ability, last 2 games has been either our best player, or one of our best players. That...

Defensively, he isn't great, but that's why he should be playing in a 'free role' behind the striker. Not CM, Moussa should also go on the left, swapping occasionally with Fleck, Bailey and Jennings at CM, Baker on the right.

With all due respect Grendel, you have made your mind up on him so your opinions are usually 'blinkered' when it comes to judgements on Fleck. You are one of the most cynical of posters on here (not saying that's necessarily a bad thing). 8 seems a bit high, I would go for a 7.5 but why...
