Gas v Shrews build up….

This is definitely a not lose game.

We need to get behind the team. The Shrews are definitely beatable, but our confidence is low.

First goal is really important.

If Promise and Ward can't start, I would look to Hutch (hopefully the goal will be a bit of a conference boost - is he now joint too scorer in all comps?), Ruel and Shaq with Scotty on the bench, along with Anthony(only seen him twice but think he may have that attack minded approach which could create chances).

Oh and at corners, I would leave two players up.

Yes, I think Shrewsbury are better than their league position implies. I watched the Exeter game and despite winning 2-0 Exeter had a lot of defending and great saves to keep them out in the first half. Marquis and Rossiter both having shots. They probably shouldve had a penalty when Ryan Woods blocked a shot with his arm! Exeter's second was probably offside as well. As an Exeter fan i was delighted with the 2-0 win but I think they may be tough opposition on tues. Their other defeats have been to Wrexham, Mansfield,Stockport,Charlton and Brum. 

Or we’ll win, find ourselves closer to the play offs than the relegation spots and most will be happy.
But not all obviously because some prefer relegation scraps whilst trying to play tika taka because it’s great football just like the Prem.

What a pathetic post 😂. Many and I mean MANY can see this isn’t working with Taylor.

No it doesn't, and its a bit small minded to tell a bunch of fans that their opinion is wrong or invalid. 

For me its win or he's gone. I want to give the manager as much time as possible with his own team, I don't believe a new manager will improve much and a lot of these players came here under his leadership. Changing manager is unlikely to fix anything and we'll be saying how the new boss needs their own squad..  rinse and repeat. 

If you look at Exeter last season, their manager was losing games 7-0 and the board even put out a statement saying that he has to improve or he's gone. Now look at them fly. 

With our budget, crowds and new team, I'd be content with a 15th placed finish. But there needs to be a clear distinction betweem the bottom teams and us. So far, the bottom teams we've  faced, we've been better. But if we can't beat Shrewsbury at home then sadly I'll no longer have the belief that MT can keep us above the relegation teams and that change would perhaps be needed. 

Win on Tuesday and we've picked up 9 from 12, we'd be 15/16th and 8 points above relegation with a game in hand. That'd give us 16 points from 11 games, carry that on over the season and we'd have 66 points. The only time we've got more than 66 points in the last 8 years is when we were promoted from L2. In fact, the last time we had more than 66 points and weren't promoted that season was in 97/98.

Win on Tuesday and perhaps the world isn't actually going to end...

Obvs , if he doesn’t improve things he will go. If we win tues that’s 9/12 points. You don’t sack managers for that.

Unless the owners have money to burn why would they sack MT if he does take 9/12 pts?

I'm with you here. I'm not sure how much the owners listen to the fans, or care about them, but i'm fairly sure they care about money. If MT is getting us good enough results to keep us up, and 16 points from 11 games would certainly be on track for that I don't think they would be looking to pay (what £300k+ to pay off MT, WC, SB) off the management team. What I do think they'd do, if it does click by Xmas is sell off a player or players, without worrying about the impact on the team, if a good profit can be made. So imagine Promise (currently on 3 assists and two goals) gets to 10 goals and 8 assists, we are on 30+ points and he is sold for £1m+ Melt down time ??

You’d sack a manager who got 9 points out of 12 ? 😂
ok mate 🙄
