Second half what was Whingy thinking plays josh Gordon up front with no support ( Fletcher was terrible) and with a game behind them 3 central defender's when it was crying out for Williams in the middle!
Conditions were awful but Shrewsbury got the tactics spot on ,when we struggle Whingy hasn't got a clue how to change things!

I was made up when leaving Holker Street this afternoon.

It didn't rain. I didn't get wet.

Well l just blew in from the windy city but the windy city weren't mighty purty unfortunately. There was a definite lack of intelligence and application in that second half. They shaded it so l suppose a point's a point but what is our system and what is it that we do well? Seems to be a case of pick a team and see what happens.
We will foller the soccer, over land and sea...

MJ Williams by a mile for me

No-one’s going to remember that game anytime soon are they. Was surprised we didn’t bring Cameron on instead of Walker, was crying out for some physicality up front, and also very surprised Whitfield came on on the left rather than Jackson switch over there to allow Whitfield to play on the right

Manager’s and teams come and go but we've always struggled to put teams at the bottom of the table to the sword.
Apparently we won the toss and decided to kick against the wind first half. Not sure that was the right decision with that wind and giving Shrewsbury the early impetus.

Certainly one for the football purists to endure.
Agree with HK the lack of physicality up top second half Gordon did his best but was so isolated up there.
Pitch held up well,
Next!

I stand corrected, Shrewsbury won the toss and chose to play towards HSE first half.

Awful match in ghastly conditions. Shrewsbury handled it better and could’ve won it, so a point isn’t the end of the world.

Another game without a working scoreboard, which is now becoming farcical. What’s the status? Waiting to be fixed or written off?!

Passing has been really poor in the last couple of games and a reluctance to shoot that's a sign of a lack of confidence.

It was a very poor game with Shrewsbury the better side in shocking conditions IMO. Nice to see Harper get some minutes and that can only be good moving forward. He did show a few nice touches . Apart from that it was a game to quickly forget about.

Watched on TV.
Awful game in atrocious conditions and tbh Shrewsbury were the better team by a country mile.
Point gained in your relegation dogfight.
