I was despondent after Accrington last week but a win has made feel more positive- I wasn't at the match yesterday though.
What is interesting- we have played 5 of the current top 7 and beaten two Luton and Southend, losing to Morecombe, Wycombe and Bury. Apart from Wycombe we have played ok or well and probably "deserved" something in those games. Shrewsbury invested heavily in the summer and played at a higher level last year so I think we are proving we can hold our own among the top teams!

I'm undoubtedly more cheery today than last sunday (and I was at Accy too) .. but the inconsistency in our performances, possession, and a seeming unwillingness to take a shot on goal without too many touches, continues to frustrate. Time and again it is proven that good ol basic width and pace brings goals, free kicks and wins ... and brings fans pleasure. So why we don't use our best winger baffles me. Our next four games are .... Tranmere, Carlisle, Wimbledon, Chelt .... I want to be watching Football League Show in a month with us on a 5 game winning streak please. then I will allow myself to be fully cheered up.
Feeling happier now people- 3 narrow but pleasing victories in a week and we could be building some momentum and consistency here. Hope the gate at Home Park starts to reflect this- optimism is infectious after all... :scarf:

Granted I've been anti-Sheridan but we are sixth in the league with 3 wins in a week, I'm over the moon to be honest.
It feels like some don't want us to be this high because they want to be right about Sheridan, I am desperate to be wrong about Sheridan & if he continues to prove me wrong then great :thumbup:

Indeed I'm not a Sheridan fan but we've had an excellent week and him and the players deserve great credit. At this point we are in a good place, if only we could add a bit of fluency to performances at HP we would be in a very good place.clokey84":1qezxhq7 said:
Sheridan is a no frills manager who knows this league. It won't ever be amazing entertainment but there were times under Luggy when we were workmanlike, effective and lumped it to Trigger. No one complains when you win.
I don't want our fan base to be like Oxford- negative about Chris Wilder despite getting them back in the League and in promo places last season. He left and the club has simply disintegrated since with an inexperienced new manager trying to play pretty football in L2- attractive but does it get results? No.
We will win more games than we lose this season and if Nelse, Reid, Luke stay fit we will be in Top 7.
