    Yet we scored 1 and they scored 0 and lost.

    League table doesn’t lie

    Bloody hell man that's not the point is it, why can't you seem to understand that we're not going to get away with playing like that and that we were lucky they didn't put one of their 5 clear cut chances away. Do you watch the game or just look at the scoreline? Seems to be the latter.

    Exactly what happened last season. The scoring ratio to realistic scoring chances last season was low and eventually got found out. Hopefully it will just be a matter of time as the team develops but at the moment we are lacking creativity and that puts pressure on our back four..two goals from four games needs to improved on massively if this team is to finish anywhere near the playoffs.

    We were found out last season. No manager would have kept that pathetically weal squad in the playoffs. The football so far this season has been no improvement on last season yet but its early days. Badly need to sort the centre of the park out, we son’t look any better than when we had Law and Dieng and thats a worry. Dont strenthen there and this team will continue to struggle.

    Yes very suprising for most fans, we were up to 7 points clear at one time with the crap he had at his disposal.

    Just looking at the match stats and they surprised me. We had 55% possession more shots on target than them and more corners

    We both watched the game, we both know they missed countless sitters, stop trying to bend this. You're wrong

    After we won 1-0 did you go and home and cry to your family because we didn’t have as many chances as the opposing team?

    I know we must play better but a win is a win no matter how many chances we created or didn’t create.

    Take the play off final against Millwall last year. We lost when we were arguably the better team. We stayed down and Millwall thrived in the chanpsionhip.

    Sometimes you need to learn to win when you’re not playing well.

    We must play better but it’s not the be all and end all if we win football matches and get out of this bloody league

    Yes but if teams continue to come here and create loads of chances that they miss and we score 1 more goal than them then that will never happen.........hold on a minute!!

    No I didn't, but I wasn't convinced by the performance either, and it's been the same performance for 4 games now.

    You don't learn to win when you're not playing well, you get LUCKY. You learn to play well in order to win games. Not the other way round.

    As for getting out of this league, not a chance this season. We're mid table fodder at best.

    Fair enough you’re entitled to your opinion.

    Was nice to get a win Tuesday. Already said we need to play better but we won and if we win tomorrow it’s 3 from 5.

    and if we lose tomorrow, it’s 3 defeats from 5 and 2 losses from 3 at home. Your point is?

    I have witnessed both wins this season (missed the games against Barnsley, Macclesfield and Southend) and we were lucky in both. Of course the results were good, but we didn’t play well in either and were lucky not to concede goals in both games.

    You must be our lucky mascot witnessing both wins so far.

    True we didn't play well but there have been hundreds of games in our past where we have won when we should have lost and vice versa. Whats your point?

    I doubt anyone has been convinced by the performances after Shrewsbury away.

    Things can only get better wouldn't you agree?

    Don’t talk stupid...! Shrews hit the bar twice against us; how the hell did we ”make our own luck”?

    Have you anything sensible to add or will you just spout more clichés?
