Shrewsbury Man of the Match

It couldn't have been any more of a scrappier game than if we'd conceded first, done the usual and then the subsequent outfall from it that just makes your head hurt about this season so far. But Coulson & Dembele definitely had more life in them than the others from what I got to see. Byers you can see he's got that extra bit of awareness and Ekpiteta had one of his games where he keeps it tidy and in control.

Shrewsbury didn't have much to them but Jason Sraha looked alright-ish at the back. Big lad.
 
All I'm interested in is why is our form away from home is so fcuking shite! Yes Shrewsbury were crap and scrapping around in the relegation area but so are other teams who have tubbed us this season. Good win today and good team performance and yes I'm frustrated especially with the squad we’ve got who can obviously play and we’ll probably beat Pompey next Saturday!🤷‍♂️
 
Byers for me a close second Coulson and just behind him Dembelle.

Just got back great day never been to Shrewsbury nice town.

Three wins from four games, including putting 4 past Bolton last Saturday; how is that not a run of positive results?

Because of the results you didn't mention - Orient, Cheltenham. Our away form has let us down big style and whilst I would agree that the play offs are still achievable it will probably take at least 7 wins from 10 - maybe even 8 and I'm not confident that we'll do that.

I'm not confident about making the playoffs either, and our away form has indeed been the achilles heel this season. But we've won three of our last six away games having won just two of the first twelve, that, added to the best home record in the league, adds up to a positive run of results. 20 points from the last 11 games since the turn of the year, surely that's positive.

4 points or more from the Pompey and Northampton games and I might start to believe. With the squad that we have though, nothing short of a play off place would be a positive outcome.

Is our squad actually that good compared to others or is it just another made up Avftt myth?
I can only judge what I see the first 11 the opposition put out and subs and everyone bar Peteborough look similar in the top half of the table.

For me it's just OK don't see it any better than the 2021 promotion side.

I don't think that L1 is a particularly good standard even at the top, which is why I believe that had we performed consistently to our levels of ability, we would have comfortably up there. Agree with your comment about Peterborough. Some of their fans are bemoaning not being in an automatic spot. They could still get there mind, as could we in the play off places. Needs some consistently good performances though rather than following up a very good performance with a really bad one.
