Cheers les just thought i would ask

There was also some confusion about the amount of booking he'd picked up but Shrewsbury have just tweeted this.

IAN BLACK: To clear up, now into period where reaching 5 bookings doesn't mean a suspension, when player reaches 10 will mean 2 game ban

[quote=32]No voluntary substitutions....no real chances created....possession resulted in nothing......have to look at the bench really,unbalanced with no wingers at all and sounded as though Arnold did very little again leaving us very one sided.....Townsend must have been the most mentioned player in commentary, all our play through him.

We were never going to win the cup so apart from sympathies for the travelling supporters glad we dont have the distraction now.

[What utter bullocks from the comfort of an armchair. If you had been there you would have a more credible view. Town were very good tonight.

Just back.  What a cup upset that should have been....

Town the better team for the 90 minutes
Certainly wanted it more... Shrews v. Lack lustre and lethargic
Amond was everywhere, bogle and him worked well, but their defence / back four were pretty solid ...partic Junior Brown who also caused trouble pushing up on the left.
Should have brought Mackreth on... New legs, more width, a change...
Macca was too good... I was right behind their first shot that came in... A belter going a yard wide.  Macca dived, saved it and kept it in play... Cleared to the edge of the box and belted home.
A travesty, we woz robbed.
But so many positives... let's concentrate on the league now!

Utter b)ll)cks?  The just back thread offers some agreement about attacking options, did we make a voluntary substituition ? Did we score ? Did we have any wingers on the bench? While not there i did watch the second half via periscope. The players did themselves and the club proud to match and even outplay higher opposition it just frustrates me that IMO the manager could have given them a hand by freshening it up. In the words of those who were there "Monkhouse was out on his feet for the final 15 mins" ..when the manager post match says that players were making recovery runs even though they had run themselves out. ...then why not sub them?!?

Were you the guy who approached the police to report a robbery? Made me laugh.
I'm pretty sure that although he was on the pitch beforehand Mackreth wasn't on the bench...

Maybe not!  But definitely on the pitch beforehand as my mate is a Macc Town fan and he spotted him before I did.
