    Well what is there to say that has not already been said. We are turning Vaughan into this seasons Doyle. Hitting long balls up to him with him there all on his own and no one else anywhere near him. Oteh out wide is just a waste of a player, he hasn't the instincts to play the position. Either he needs to play down the middle alongside Vaughan or don't play him. Also something needed changing at half time, we were getting overrun in midfield with their wingbacks having plenty of room out wide. As has been said it took until 10? minutes after we went a goal behind before anything happened when GB changed the system and played with 3 centre backs pushing the two full backs up on them. At least then we showed a bit of attacking mindset, unfortunately Shrewsbury were too good at seeing the game out.

    What's happened to your ambition Fordy? Accepting failure, I don't know.

    Dull tie.

    But a good test to see where we’re at against a mediocre league 1 side. Play full strength treat it as a league game, let’s see how the team is coming along.

    Think we’ll win if we play a full strength team.

    I thought all FA Cup games were "pointless". Win, lose or draw, you don't get any points, therefore Fordy the midget worrier is right again. :thumbup::)

    Players run the risk of picking up injuries whilst training but you still have to tackle and make challenges otherwise training is meaningless.
    Can't agree the FA Cup game is meaningless.
    I do agree getting out of league two is our priority but believe if you can contiue your league form into Cup games it gives the players belief in themselves going forward.
    To be honest without pre-warning to traveling fans that the FA Cup game is a low priority and Bowyer is going to go with an under strength team that your suggesting it's not fair on the traveling fans who would no doubt travel in good numbers.

    I see where Fordy's coming from. A long term injury to Cooke or Pritchard and you might as well write the season off until January. Not sure we can afford to lose Vaughan either with Donaldson out for 2 months so a balance between full strength and writing off the tie would be nice.

    I think it's very much nailed on that Bowyer will pick his strongest available team for the Shrewsbury game. It's a Saturday with no league midweek game either side so no reason not to try and progress.

    Interesting that prices differ for ST holders. Quite like that as an idea going forwards, i know ST dont suit everyone but the odd perk like this never harmed anyone.
