Fuck, I feel for Blooms, sets the team up well they do everything right for 40 minutes & then a lapse in concentration gives the Shrews too much room and we are down by a goal completely against the run of play.
The senior pros now need to lift the team and get us back on level terms.
So, were struggling to attack without a focal point. It's not helped by JJ lumping balls from the halfway line aiming for 2019 Akinfenwa, Sadlier isn't taking on his man and struggles to cross, and Josh, for all his industry, can't make an offensive pass.
For all our possession, Shrewsbury have taught us a lesson in the old adage 'if you don't shoot, you don't score'.
Wouldn't say we're playing particularly well, but we've been the better side by an absolute mile. Shrewsbury hadn't had an attack let alone a chance and then scored a stunner.
Important our heads don't drop, just got to keep going. We do need a presence up front though. Thankfully we do have bench options today.
Yeah, the JJ long balls (generally either for D Taylor to run onto, or for Wheeler to bring down) really aren't coming off. Phillips seems to be our best attacking outlet...there's some decent crosses going in, but no-one to get on the end of them.
Crying out for Vokes in the second half, I'd say.
Thing is, Shrewsbury have been set up to stay solid, spoil the game and hit us on the counter from the get-go, and now they may not even bother with the counters and just stay back.
Looks like it’s a more enjoyable game from the comfort of your own home. At Adams Park and it’s absolutely moribund. You can hear the players like a reserve game, the crowd is woeful.
The Sally Army should play the Last Post before the second half.

Narrator: "We didn't make it count."
Wtf
Need to carry on and not panic now, easier said than done.
What was Wheeler doing there?

Spot on. Blooms had us ready to play, and they have one serious shot...and score.

Except we've had more shots and, by the looks it, better ones
Don't see these stats often
The goal is annoying but shouldn't hide that we're a hundred times better than the last few games and have created some (admittedly scrappy) chances.
Was it last season or the season before that we absolutely *battered* Shrewsbury (I don't think they even had a shot) and drew 0-0?
We've had one more shot,and the same amount on target
They've really not been better shots

My annoyance is that we so often lose when playing well, but we never sneak flukey wins when our opponents are the better team.
Ponderous. 14 points off the play offs and 6 off the bottom 4...
Inevitable end to the first half. Plenty of endeavour. A spark of quality here and there. No attacking threat whatsoever.
Repeat
Do not deserve that...up until the goal that was a Wycombe performance. Got to go for it and win this.

If ever analysing a game by stats versus watching the game doesn't work!
Not sure we've had anything that even slightly looked a threat.
IIRC a dreadful Tuesday night game that made me want to throw my laptop out of the window. I think it was two seasons ago.
Feels like a club dying on it's a*se sadly.
Encouraging first 40 minutes and then a sucker punch.
Vokes and Lyle on for Wheels& Dale at half time please.
Apart from having more possession, we don't look a lot better to me, if we knew what to do with said possession it might help. Big 45 for Matt this
Definitely need Vokes on.
Although if the usuals start slating him again it might be time to turn the Internet off for a while.
Oh dear. You and the internet @Maline!
Northampton away earlier this season
What was the Wheeler miss like?
So now with wheeler off we have no aerial threat
