[Archived] Shrewsbury Away

[Ricky]

Is there not a match thread for our trip to the league leaders?

I had hoped to go but checked tickets last weekend and they were already sold out so it may be a case of listening on the radio for me.

[AJW]

Got tickets for this one , first away game if the season .They are full of confidence ,top of the league and have home advantage , but I have a sneaky feeling we might Nick this one Dack and 1-0 

[AllRoverAsia]

I hope Mowbray sets up to try to win and that he is capable of getting us on the front foot right from the start.

Shrewsbury like a 1-0 win so can defend a lead.

A full house with a large Rovers following in the unreserved standing area  so get in early!

Rovers to win by a goal.

Have a good day.

If anyone ends up with a couple of spares please send me a message. I'm only an hour away from Shrewsbury and could be tempted to make the short drive.

First goal is vital here, if they score first there is no way that we'll be able to break them down, if we score first we've got a big chance of winning. I would play:

                   Raya

Travis Downing Mulgrew Williams

Bennett Evans Smallwood Chapman

                     Dack

                   Samuel

I'd give Evans one last chance to prove that he's not completely sh1t. I'm 100% sure that Travis is a better player than Caddis, there isn't much more that he can do in the u23s to show Mowbray that he deserves a place in the team, give him a chance and see if he sinks or swims. Ward is just a liability who makes the simplest of tasks look incredibly difficult, I think Downing deserves a chance, especially as he played well at Rochdale.

Tony and the boys will be up for this one and blow them away 0-5 is my fun bet, hopefully i'll be enjoying a nice J2O tonight! Glitterberry even!

I think we couldn't tinker too much with a winning team recently but time to make changes now, Antonsson out along with Conway with and Dack and Chapman in. Maybe Evans for Whittingham 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Keith Hill was talking about Shrewsbury in my local paper yesterday. A very hard working team who get at your throat from the first whistle to the last apparently. If we don't match them for effort and work rate we'll lose. I haven't got a clue what team we'll turn out. After last week's flop will he gave them one last throw of the dice or will he make changes ? I'd go with last week's starting line up apart from Dack starting instead of Antonnson. 

I'm not expecting too much because I can't see us matching them toe to toe, I'd take a draw now.

That's what we've come down to, being happy with a draw at Shrewsbury.

First away game for me.(Sorry, in advance for my non Midas touch!)

Being on a Hereford post code, I would have thought you'd easily get a ticket in the home sections if you were prepared to do that. I was on the phone for tickets first thing on the day they went on general sale. Had I not got them, I was going to get my ticket from STFC, being I'm on a Crewe post code.

A tad depressing when we cannot confidently predict a win at the likes of Shrewsbury. However a win is what is needed so i will unconfidently predict a 2-1 win for the Rovers.

[AlanK]

Heading up from Tewkesbury for this one. My 1st game for quite some time. Can't wait

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Any result bar a loss will suffice!

[Irishrover213]

Hoping we can continue our away form. With Conway out hopefully Chapman starts. 

Shrewsbury will be a strong side. We ended bradfords and Scunthorpes unbeaten records this season. Would be excellent if we added Shrewsbury to that 

[matt83]

Never been to Shrewsbury before. Hoping for a nicer place than the usual downtrodden shitholes usually travel to 

[OJRovers]

What pub are people aiming for pre game?

[Tormund]

I’m going to this one, but in the Home end.

The Salopian is packed. So we'll be heading further along the river

[JAL]

Let's hope Charlie doesn't get bullied today and if so there's someone in the camp sort whoever out !

If he does or is suffering I'd push him into midfield.

[G Somerset Rover]

Travis and Nuttall travelled according to Rich Sharpe.

We'll smash 'em 4-1.

Would like to see Travis at rb in place of Caddis,failing that wouldn't be against playing Bennett at rb

[bluefred]

I'm going 0-2 keep it tight then smash them on the break,we need to get there crowd on there backs because

theyll have great expectations for this one .

[rovers11]

I think we'll win today. Shrewsbury are due a loss and this is the type of game we've relished this season. 0-2 with Graham scoring.
