[Archived] Shrewsbury v Charlton

[Bigdoggsteel]

I think this game may be big enough to deserve its own thread. If Shrewsbury fail to win,i think we are as a good as up. I presume a few of us will be keeping an eye on the scoreline  

We both have pretty similar games this week, at home to sides just outside the play offs. 

Charlton started well under bowyer, but have lost their last 2 1-0. Hopefully the bowyer honeymoon period isn't over until next week  Tight defeats though, so that is a good sign.

Fancy a draw here. 1-1 is looking tempting along with a 3-0 win for Wigan. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Hopefully 0-0 or 1-1, or even better still a Charlton win. Is it on Sky?

I’ll be putting my usual Wigan/Shrews double on tonight (should be around 2/1) and hoping that my £20 goes straight to the bookie.

There will be a few twists and turns yet but I fear that Bristol Rovers’ last gasp goal may have changed the mind set of the other two teams tonight, particularly Shrewsbury. 

Fancy Wigan to win comfortably and Shrews to scrape 3 points.

Big game for both, Charlton could go back in the top 6 if they win and Shrews need the win to really put the pressure on us.

They've been good at dealing with setbacks all season and won 2-0 in the reverse fixture so I think 2-0 Shrewsbury.

[Bigdoggsteel]

A last minute winner for Charlton tonight would be pretty sweet

Charlton have a new manager and Shrewsbury are missing a couple, hopefully thats enough for a different result 

Decent result for Shrewsbury winning 0-2 there though...

[arbitro]

In their last two games Shrewsbury have looked tired and nervous pretty much like we have. I have felt for some time now that these factors will play a part and we have touched lucky with our last and next few games being a good few days apart. Shrewsbury have three games in the next seven days and these are the fine margins that could play a big part. Hopefully Charlton will pull out all the stops tonight and get at least a point.

I’m always one of the more positive posters but I think this view is over confident rather than positive. Defeat for Shrewsbury and we need two wins and a draw. If the Shrews draw we need two wins and two draws. It’s still far too close to become confident. 

I believe we are going up and with each match that goes by feel closer but I don’t believe tonight can be seafom defining for either Club. 

Still believe Charlton is when we will go up.

No not on sky mate, Bet365 all the way tonight. Tonight's result could seriously change the mind set of our boys on Thursday. Charlton win and then pressure is also on Peterborough to get a result on Thursday. So many twists and turns...... I can't handle it!!!!!! 

[JHRover]

Whatever Shrewsbury do doesn't change our approach. We need to win our games from now until they can't catch us, whether that be up to Oxford at home or Charlton away. Our attitude needs to be to win all our games as that will guarantee promotion. Sadly our performances in the last 3 or 4 games haven't been deserving of wins and there needs to be an improvement.

The Wigan commentary is on Talksport2. The Shrewsbury commentary could be avaliable online on Radio Shropshire, though it's hit and miss which games get blocked due to 'broadcasting rights'

Huddled around the radio, old school  

[Mattyblue]

It's absolute torture everytime Shrewsbury are on the attack and the commentator raises his voice

[Bigdoggsteel]

Just ,out of interest, Charlton are 5/2 to win tonight, whereas Peterborough are 5/1 to win Thursday. Basically the bookies say its twice as likely Charlton will win. 

Counts for nothing really, but just worth noting

This thread has been comprimised - quick, start talking politics!

On a side, note, quite amusing to see that our very own match thread against Charlton for the 28th of April, is already 1 page bigger than theirs which is about to kick off.

Charlton will be buoyed that Bradford are winning against Pompey, perhaps push them on to take real advantage? I'm clutching...i know

No shots on goal for Charlton as it stands according to the BBC...

[DE.]

0-0 HT. Hopefully Charlton will switch from their 10-0-0 formation in the second half.

According to the Shrews forum, they says its been a pretty open game for both sides and the possession stats do show that. Yeah Charlton have had no official shots but Shrews have not forced a single save either despite 5 efforts.

45 mins to go before this season takes on its next chapter for us.

Maybe so, but I still find it pretty pathetic that a side in 7th pushing for the playoffs can't register a single shot against Shrewsbury in 45 minutes. Even Oxford have managed a few against Wigan. If it ends 0-0 then whatever, I don't care, but you just know if the second half carries on in the same vein Shrewsbury will nick one.

True, cannot argue with that. On stats alone it does look like a piss poor attempt by Charlton so far.

[AllRoverAsia]

I am following the Wigan game more closely, I still want to win this league.

Oxford defending in great numbers may need help from ref Kettle though to get anything out of the game.

Hooray, Charlton had a shot

3 now and on stats alone seem to be the team on top this half so far.
