Murphy 5 - poor kicking,lacked urgency, his achillies heel is giving up rebounds and he did again today however im not if he could have done anything different,will wait for the replay.
Disagree. thought it was a stunning save. Nowt he could do.
6 from me.
Adams - 7 - dealt with his man well defensivly and got forward alot.
Agree. thought he was very good.
Wood - 5 - was great first half but the descended into "old" wood and his silly headers that always surrender possession.
Thought he did okay. always prone to a few errors though. 6 for me.
Edge - 6 - giving a torrid time by the big man but did ok.
Would agree with that.
Christie - 3 - worst cov player on pitch, didnt attack enough, never crosses earlier enough and reluctant to make simple passes,cost us the goal by giving the ball away on half way line.
He was poor. Would give him a 4.
Jennings 5 - huffed and puffed but had little presence
Thought he was very good first half, but faded. Seems to happen quite a lot with him. Bit of a worry.
Moussa - 5 - did a sammy clingan impression today, offered little going forward i felt.
Thought he was good first half. Faded second. 6 from me.
Fleck - 7 - battled well and some superb passing range he has,shouldnt have been subbed imo
Disagree. Thought he was excellent and poor in equal measure. some great passing, but defensively very poor (marking, tackling and tracking and his ball watching when they had the ball rather than getting involved).
I would have taken him off earlier. 6.
Baker - 6 - missed alot of chances and crossing was poor.
Poor game for me. 5. Missed a very good chance first half
McSheffrey 6 - started great and nearly scored a wonder goal but that miss really let everyone down and he was crap after.
MOTM first half. Faded as the match wore on and missed pretty much a sitter.
McGoldrick - 5 - couldnt hold the ball up and didnt seem to win a header.shame
Struggled. 6
Murphy seemed urgent to me he ran to get the ball when ever the ball went out of playI would have to say that wood referted back during the 2nd half to the give it away cheaply mode with poor distribution and christie is looking like it's time to step down for a while.
As for murphy, I am not one of the moaners about him but did dither when urgency was needed and even though his biggest fault is pushing the ball back into play, yet how anyone blame him for the goal it was a brilliant save first time.

Murphy 7
Christie 4 - 4th shit game in a row, unacceptable, bring Clarke in for Spurs. Shit going forward and defending, which exposed Wood
Wood 6 - exposed because Christie couldn't do his duties
Edj 6
Adams 7 - good performance, good going forward and contained their RM Taylor.
Baker 5 - decent 1st half, annomynous for the rest.
Jennings 6 - did his job well
Fleck 8 - ran the midfield, picked out some tasty passes, it all went wrong when he got took off, Moussa also stopped playing because Fleck got took off.
Sheff 5 - like Baker, good 1st half, unlucky with a near-screamer, but otherwise was disappointing, how the feck did he miss that open goal.
Moussa 6 - played well until Fleck came off
McG 5 - not the way he'd like to end his CCFC career (assuming he doesn't resign)
Subs
Clarke 6 - he would've got a 7 had he got a goal, looked sharp, always on the shoulder of the CB, looked threatening.
Bailey 6 - should've started, didn't have time to do anything, his rating should be N/A
Barton 5 - same as Bailey, looked good on the ball, but wrecked it with 2 pathetic header attempts! Just chest it down lad! People are being a tad harsh.
MR 5 - our star player didn't perform today, took off the man who was running the show, changed to 4-4-2 where we struggled. Disappointing, hope he gives the players a bollocking, I don't care if we should've won, we didn't, and it is an acceptable to hand Shrewsbury their 1st away win of the season, especially after the teams we beat over the Christmas period!
Fleck ran the midfield, I was hesitant whether to give him an 8, but you look at how badly we played when he went off, you can underestimate his influence. Not a luxury player, last 2 games has been arguably our best player.
does he comprehend he needs to follow players back when the opposition have the ball?
Fleck 8 you really know nothing about football do you? Thanks for the laugh though.
We had more chances when he was withdrawn. Defensively he is a disaster - does he comprehend he needs to follow players back when the opposition have the ball?
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.
Ah of course no mcsheffrey - you're single agenda as usual.
You could never be accused of having an agenda...right?

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 and I have admitted he has impressed me with his assists, but he isn't scoring enough and he missed an open goal for crying out loud by trying to be a clever fecker!!!
Only if the agenda is correct which I always am.
Fleck an 8, yet sheff our biggest attacking threat thoughout the match a 5?
Sorry Taylor but that is absolute tosh, fleck had a decent game with the ball but a poor one without it.
Mcsheff brings work rate yes but he doesn't bring anything else to the team he had one good moment today when he cut inside and shot which was unlucky but otherwise he was shit. He got an assist against mk but was shit otherwise, and he did nothing against Stevenage he should not be in the first team at this time

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 because he missed an open goal, I stuck with 5.
Say what you like about Fleck, everyone is entitled to an opinion on how football should be played, but the midfield dominated in the 1st half, caught on the break a couple of times, and Fleck was at the centre of that, switching play, playing tasty passes for Adams to latch on, he also let Moussa and McSheffrey go forward, and in McSheffrey's case, cut in. When Fleck got substituted, the whole midfield's performances dropped, Moussa weren't getting forward, McSheff weren't cutting in, there wasn't much. We had to resort to crossing it in to McG or Clarke.
When Clarke came on, he was our biggest threat.
Who was more effective today - baker or mcsheffrey?
McSheffrey.
