Shrewsbury v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 02.03.24

Pretty awful shaping up like another away performance... CJ getting the abuse as usual but the balls to him have been awful, he needs it early with space behind defenders. Really all minus dembele have been poor. Byers and Norburn really not offering much going forward so far.
I know what you’re saying - it’s just that CJ doesn’t seem to know how to get in the right position for the ball to be played.
 
Good header that from Byers.Generated a chance there from a poor delivery

Saw a glimpse there of how good he can be in the air just need to give him better service than that and inswingers from the right
 
Busy and only just been able to pay my tenner a couple of mins before that. Don't know what it's been like before that but hopefully just seen the start of the best bit. Solid movement from Coulson and Dembele put that in the only gap around five blue shirts. Good stuff. Hopefully gives us a foothold in away game for a change.

Even just from a brief view you can see Shrewsbury are niggly spoilers.
 
Wonder if he manages to trap the ball in training? He seems to struggle with that in games.
I've heard from an anonymous source at BR that CJ does indeed struggle with that most basic of skills in training - but, on this matter, everyone (i.e., team-mates and training staff) has been told to keep their 'trap' shut ...
 
Yes, I corrected. Norburn should be benched.
norburn should be left out of the squad, hes having another absolute mare. the difference in class between him and byers is huge. byers is looking for the ball getting it quick pass and move, and hes in the middle of everything going on. Norburn just breezes by on the periphery of everything.

fantastic goal by kaddy, he had about a square foot to aim for between all the players

a bit like your favourite player CJ..
 
I don't think we have been very good that half Dembele apart. I'll take it cos we are winning but it's not a great performance so far at all I don't think. Maybe it's a confidence thing and we will grow into it more.
