There was only two or three people in the chip shop when I arrived, all of whom were sat down eating, and they still didn’t have a fry ready. I’ve given up hope that they’ll ever be able to satisfy my needs. The Cadillac booth in the bowling alley was already taken as well. I call it ‘Betty’.
First half was crap and they looked more up for at least trying to score albeit fairly hopelessly. Flashed a couple of efforts / cross shots past the frame which was more than we offered but never really felt too troubled. Midfield was way too far forward in relation to the defence so there was no way of playing through, and Shrewsbury had the freedom of the midfield. That they couldn’t do anything with it tells you how poor they are. Straight after half time you could see that the midfield was showing for the ball more and had closed the distance, and after 60 seconds the ball was in the net. Left it late to put it to bed but a home win, and a clean sheet for good measure, is what it was all about. You have to be able to win games even when you aren’t firing and the conditions are rubbish if you want to have a chance, so the manner of the win was actually very positive even if it wasn’t fun to watch.
Four wins and a draw for me this season, including 3/3 at home. Get your £10 Morecambe tickets - I’ll be guaranteeing another victory. Maybe I’ll try the burger van by the south corner…
