Shrewsbury Town (A) May 4th, 5.30pm

Maybe a good thing Sunderland losing tonight. The pressure is off them now . They settle for the playoffs and play with a little freedom. While all the pressure is on Southend.who knows .

Would prefer Sunderland to put out their best 11 tbh, that probably won’t happen now as they won’t want likes of McGeady and Grigg pulling up in (for them) meaningless last game.

Ultimately they protect their own interests. Would imagine Southend will still be decent odds so insurance fiver is a must for them.

Playing at Gigg Lane too. Will Grigg will stick another shrimper on the barbie, don’t you worry!

A big feature of 5his season has been dire ref decisions

To the extent that the club received an apology

I somehow feel that ultimately our fate may be decided by a dodgy ref decision

1 - 0 up with 5 to go when the ref gives them a ridiculous pen to equalise

Sunderland are getting pelters up here on the local phone in etc. And for the first time Jack Ross is losing his cool a bit. That could most definitely go either way, but there’s no way they’ll be blase about another defeat, especially on Sky

Just had a look. They get round it by having you register with a single company ,EFL Digital, whichever particular club you actually register with. Doesn’t alter the fact that Shrewsbury only became bothered when it looked like they could sell the ticket anyway. But there’s probably not much I can do about that .

It isn’t right though is it? You could just be a football fan, merely interested in watching numerous teams.

Managed to get one now ,anyway. It still seems discriminatory though. Even if they’d seen I was only registered with two EFL teams, and only buy for Shrewsbury when Walsall are there, how do they know I don’t regularly watch a Premiership team, or non-league, like Telford?

Doesn’t look like it will completely sell out but I’d estimate that there are only around 600 tickets left.

Should be a cracking atmoshpere.

BUMP!!! :wink:

Think we’re all ■■■■■■■■ it too much to comment more this evening :grin:

7-0 Walsall, all goals scored in stoppage time after the entire Shrewsbury team are sent off for overcelebrating after they mistake a goal kick call for the final whistle.

0-2 To the saddlers, i can’t envisage those bastards sending us down, with 1600 supporters there i know what they can do and how they can lift a team, it will be electric, and i just hope that the players not only appreciate it, but respond to it.

Heart tells me 0-2 win to the Saddlers, head tells me 1-1 draw in a scrappy game.

Hats off to all those that are going, I won’t be there in physical presence but in spirit I’ll be right with you all. Sing your hearts out for the boys.

Got to go same team that beat the posh. I believe they play the same system as us but Docherty plays the tip of a 3 in their midfield and seems to be their danger man and main goal threat… so probably get Kinsella to do a job on him and play a bit deeper.
Sticking my giraffe like neck out and predict a 2-0 win with goals from ?? Well who cares as long as we win !!!

Be SINKING a few jars in the “Wild Pig” pre-match with family and friends and fellow saddlers. Let’s hope our Ship doesn’t SINK come 7.30pm !!! UTS … COME ON YOU REDS :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:

Well I didn’t think that I’d be that bothered about today’s match given all that’s gone before…now I’m wandering around the house, kicking the cat (we don’t even own a cat!) and generally being a grumpy old git (my wife’s description). Wish I’d bought a bloody ticket now.
Anyway, team talk - Come on lads, you can do this - you proved it last week! All you have to do is do it again!
Oh - and you do know that if you DON’T perform like last week there will be 1600 or so rabid saddlers fans, pitchforks at the ready - just saying.
JFDI lads.
UTS!! Team talk over.
PS - Give Rob a cheer when he limps into the stadium - god knows he deserves one.

Looks like being a sell out. Only a few hundred tickets left in the home end.

Just managed to buy the game online after searching for a VPN server for 2 hours. I AM READY.

I think we’ll win.
