71' Great save from McCarey. James Collins' point-blank effort is smothered by the 'keeper and Wolves clear.

First thing he's done all game apparently.

83' Ryan Woods tries his luck from all of 30-yards. His searing effort crashes back off the Wolves crossbar and clear.

Gloucester have had a goal ruled offside. U21s still winning 2-1.

Apparently Henry and Graham are playing well.

Yes but did they play wide or narrow.:surrender:

Henry and Graham played wide in the 2nd half today. And both performed very well..

What did you think overall Quirk? KJ seemed a bit pissed off in his post match interview.

First half was awful and was a near full strength squad. A lot of lethargic football, not a lot of decent passing and movement. It wasn't till the second half till we looked half decent. The youngsters shown up the regulars for passion (Yes its a friendly I know) passing, attacking. Jordan Graham was very good as well as James Henry. Dave Edwards nearly scored a worldy over head kick (I use the term loosely).

Furthermore. I absolutely hate this new formation. VLP playing tight in was about as effective as a scorpion sitting next to Bear Grylls. Afobe dropping as deep as the halfway line, he's not a playmaker and Dicko spend most of the half on the left. McDonald did his best to effect the play but nobody wanted to make any kind of runs in behind..

It doesn't seem to be working at all! People are talking abut how we suddenly have no wingers after only one meaningful player (Sako) has left us right now...this narrow way of playing is experimental but from everything I've heard (I haven't yet seen Wolves in action) it isn't working

I've seen all three of Shrewsbury Town's home friendlies against Cardiff, Blues and Wolves. Given last season, you would think that if we were measuring ourselves, we would want to look comfortably better than the other two.
However, despite playing a stronger side (and very distinct first and second string), we looked decidedly "average" and gave very little cause for optimism.

Shrewsbury are no pushover, but they fielded very mixed teams in all three friendlies and whilst the Cardiff game was entertaining both Blues [don't be fooled by two fortunate goals] and ourselves looked very "meh". The way we looked uncomfortable and easy to play against in the 'new' system made me think a 1-1 draw and Hoddlesque apathism could be the norm this season.

P.S. I'm not comparing the system to a Hoddle one, simply the end result and entertainment.

Finally, I think we released the wrong academy player seven or eight years ago and Goldson is one we let slip away. Expect to see him comfortably playing Championship football soon and looks the 'leader' we need.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Hardly seems like the wrong decision to let go of a player who has taken 7/8 years to look good at League One level
