Guess so just frustrated with a very poor Bradford side.

Don't worry mate, they were poor against us too and we took 6 points off them this season  no point putting any faith in the teams below the top three in this division, they're all different shades of terrible. We just need to hold our nerve and win as many as possible to ensure auto promotion.

Absolute rubbish by Bradford but you have to give it Shewsbury they all give 200%. Anyone who says they will slip up is wrong. They are a good side.

We need to win all our games now or its the lottery playoff with a possible final day down at Spurs.

 

I don’t understand your post.

Shrewsbury slipped up this evening by failing to beat a team you describe as “absolute rubbish.”

We need 3 wins and 2 draws to guarantee promotion if Shrewsbury win the next 5. Why do you say we need to win all our matches?

Eh? Didn't they slip up tonight and get a player sent off?

They may well win all their remaining games 5 nil, and pip us to promotion on the final day but Shrewsbury's well organised bunch of journeymen are currently bottling it. 

Just ask Tim Flowers...

6 wins and a draw = 92 points. I think/hope that will be enough for Top 2.

I'll stick with that. Anyone think we'll need more?

That's why it's SUCH a great result!

To be fair I think a long season is just starting to catch up with Shrewsbury. They've done well and the only three that deserve to get promoted this season are the top three, it isn't even close. Happy to cheer them on in the playoffs, but until then... 

[Doaksie]

As it stands, Shrewsbury's next game will be a prelude to the same 2 teams meeting in the first play off game. Adds another little dimension to the psychology of the fixture. 

Win on Saturday and it will be hard to imagine not going up.  

[AlanK]

Can't bloody wait till Saturday now

It's happening people, it's happening  ?

[Rover_Shaun]

Even more galling that but for the limp showing at Gillingham we could have been 9 clear instead of a possible 7 before the Shrews play again.

4 out of their last 5 games are at home (all their next 3 are), given the choice it’s how I would have liked to seen our fixtures fall, despite our home/away records being similar.

One game closer!

Every game that passes that we match their result is a huge leap forward.

They don’t play till Tuesday now, let’s make sure when they play again they are 7 behind  

Off to the game on saturday (just down the road so it would be rude not to) strangely more nervous now than I was on Tuesday evening, will have to be on good behaviour as right in the middle of the home fans....

All factually accurate but most of us are giddy with genuine anticipation for the 1st time this season, as we can now slip up and still go up. Always tempered by the fact that V***ys will find a way to ruin our fun but we are almost there. 

Phew.

Shrews have lost the plot on twitter.

They’ve won 4 out of 7 at home in 2018. They’ll do well to win all 4 remaining

Right well Tuesday it is then. Treat the missus to a night in London after the game. Few jars of celebratory lager at 10 pound a pint, but god it will be worth it. 

[Mattyblue]

Of course EiT, just a quirk of all the rescheduled fixtures.

[GreenRover]

All eyes on the Memorial Stadium on Saturday. COYB ⚽️?⚪️????

 

[garnersfags]

This may even release Tony from his mental shackles and allow us to go all out to catch and fly past Wigan as they enjoy their own over-confident end of season melt down.

I genuinely believe we have the squad to win all 5 games but we need to be brave enough to play a right back at right back. How revolutionary!

Come on, Tony. Live a little!!!!!

 

[chaddyrovers]

Good result tonight. 

Still 4 points ahead. 5 games to game

Time to chilll out and relax

That's one of the weirdest and funniest things I've seen all season. Even better if it's genuine....

Just need Bradley to get his head in the game now...he’s posted a picture on Instagram calling that love island bird ‘his Queen’. Save it for a few more weeks Dacky lad and keep those Essex trips to a minimum.
