Well it looks like this game is going ahead on Sunday regardless of Covid and injuries.

It's a shame it's come to this as it tends to de value even more an already de valued FA Cup 3rd Round which because of my advancing years was in my younger days one of the highlights of the season.

We have neither a manager nor assistant manager available for this fixture and its anybody's guess what sort of team we put out.

SHREWSBURY TOWN.

Is is Shrewsbury or Shroosbury I don't know the correct pronunciation but I know we have played them 3 times previously all FA cup.

games

Date   Result   Stadium   Competition
4 February 2020   1 - 0   Anfield   FA Cup 4th round replay
26 January 2020   2 - 2   New Meadow   FA Cup 4th round
18 February 1996   4 - 0   Gay Meadow   FA Cup 4th round

All fairly recent. 1996 we won easy. A couple of years ago they took us to a replay.

Regardless of the team we field we should still have too much.

They are currently 14th in league one having won 8 out of 25 games.

To get to the 3rd round they've defeated Stratford Town and Carlisle United.

Their manager is Steve Cotterill who has managed various clubs through his career. He's also recovered from quite a serious bout of COVID which hospitalised him. Hopefully he is fully recovered.

FA CUP 3Rd Round

As I said earlier this was once a big day in the calendar.

In my memory I recall the games in the snow in the 80s against Luton. Beating Swansea 8-0. The game at Blackburn we're we equalised with help of a ball girl causing Jimmy Hill to go mad. Recall losing to Bristol City and Burnley with Djimi T scoring a classic own goal.

I'm going to the game and am looking forward to it.

We played Everton and beat them with our reserves a couple of years back so hopefully we will be similarly entertained.

It will be good to watch us play again and for a few hours at least forget about off field issues.

Teams are out at a sunny Anfield

0 underway, the reds attacking the Spion Kop in the first half.

4 early pressure from the reds, a corner and then crosses from Bradley

Seeing plenty of the ball down the left but not sure what to do with it

12 my stream switched to the West Ham match.

Still 0-0 though. Free kick out wide to the reds, headed wide by Konate

Weird moment.

15 Gordon hauled down in the area, no penalty.

Should have been I reckon

Rush 82 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:15:47 pm »

I've seen those given Tepid (as one of ours is tripped in the box)

TepidT2O · « **Reply #11 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:19:31 pm »

18 Gordon has loooed bright, but I think we want him getting it 15 m further up the pitch

Rush 82 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:20:57 pm »

Decent attempt that by Gordon.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #13 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:21:38 pm »

20 left footed shot by Gordon turned behind at the near post for a corner

The corner goes over the headed of Konate who had lept like a salmon

23 free kick out on the left VVD heads over

TepidT2O · « **Reply #15 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:27:31 pm »

26 decent Shrewsbury cross right across goal, but they get no one near it

Rush 82 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:27:52 pm »

Not sure why Konate stopped running there.

Good goal for the Shrews though

TepidT2O · « **Reply #17 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:28:38 pm »

27 0-1

Ogbeta's cross from the left and Udoh slides in to score.

Konate could have stopped that. Totally against the fun of play.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:29:37 pm »

Jurgen looks non-plussed

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #19 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:30:19 pm »

The back line is probably our strongest part of the team currently and by the sound of it they need to get a grip.

That said, we haven't looked particularly threatening either

30 corner to Shrewsbury, worked with two and it’s offside

32 Jones shoots over from 20 yards

33 1-1 Gordon !

Cross by Bradley, Gordon takes it, turns and fires home.

Really nice goal that

Lovely move between Bradley and Gordon - well controlled and a superb finish at the end by Gordon

TepidT2O · « **Reply #26 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:37:25 pm »

36 1-2… no it’s offside … tight that. We got away with one

TepidT2O · « **Reply #27 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:38:16 pm »

Gordon becomes our second youngest goal scorer at 17 years old and 96 days

Rush 82 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:38:25 pm »

Shrewsbury have their tails up and will feel that we can be got at again via crosses from the left.

38 blocked shot by Woltman wins the reds a corner

Headed clear

A cross from our left is just ahead of an onrushing Jones in the area

This keeping the flag down for obvious offside really pisses me off no end

Yes. It is so annoying when it's that glaringly obvious.

Penalty to the reds - handball

TepidT2O · « **Reply #33 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:44:21 pm »

42 a real bit of pressure from us down the right. Using the ball better here.

Now a free kick out wide again,

Penalty for a handball

44 2-1 Fabinho buries the penalty

TepidT2O · « **Reply #35 on:** January 9, 2022, 02:49:25 pm »

45+2 a long throw into the area. Kelleher punches clear, it’s headed back in and flicked on, Kelleher just adjusts in time. Close

HT 2-1

Rush 82 · « **Reply #36 on:** January 9, 2022, 03:07:00 pm »

3 minutes in - should have scored

TepidT2O · « **Reply #37 on:** January 9, 2022, 03:07:15 pm »

45 back underway. Minamino replaces Woltman, the reds attack the Annie road end

TepidT2O · « **Reply #38 on:** January 9, 2022, 03:08:51 pm »

48 cross to the back post, Robbo slides it back across and Dixon Bonner coleus against the keeper .

Ach

TepidT2O · « **Reply #39 on:** January 9, 2022, 03:15:20 pm »

55 Dixon Bonner starting to grow in confidence here. Much more assertive on the ball.
