Saturday 23rd November fixtures

[thewwfc]

We face a decent Lincoln side, pleased to note that if they're at all concerned with keeping a beautiful sense of symmetricality and order in their form (and let's be honest, which modern football team isn't?) then they are due a defeat next in line.

Cos that's how it works.

9th in the home form table faces 1st in the away form table.

Lincoln have Argyle's Saxon Earley on loan at LB (and Norman Late at RB) - will be good to finally see how this guy plays since he was on loan to us too, but came to us broken (doh) and made a grand total of zero apps.

Anyway, LCFC seem to be a credible outfit under Skubala and are arguably punching above their weight, so expecting a tough game here.

New manager bounce for Salop under Ainsworth? Had to be us they're playing first. we have beaten them twice there since pre season, but need a better 90 minute performance really from Blues. Been bitty lately, some good moments a lot of the ball, but often its all the gear no idea at times.

Need to start games better and be way more clinical, there aren't many excuses and i wont put any forward, we need to be better. I am expecting a tough outing regardless of Shrewsbury's league position.

Wrexham (a)

Not played there in 21 years, and with the whole Hollywood factor, we’ve sold out the 1200 which is mental considering we’re about 3 days away.

Would snap your hand off for a point if you offer it to me now.

Magennis, Niskanen & Doyle will all be back, but Woods missing due to his idiotic red card on Saturday.
I’d be tempted to put Niskanen on the right, Mitchell on the left and just go for it. Attack them with pace from the outset.


Best place to park and then drink, Wrexham fans?

I'm thankfully busy on Saturday so can't watch what is likely to be another dull Charlton performance. 2 league wins in 11 and woeful away from home so I don't expect anything from the game.

Serious questions will be asked of Jones soon if things don't pick up.

Park - you can park in the uni next door bit it's £10. Island green and a few council car parks within 10min walk. One of the apps you can park in the sainsburys for a few quid.

Drink - Anywhere you want. Turf next too the ground but fills quick. Maesgwyn opposite is OK, have a singer and a few outdoor bars. Walk into town 5-10 mins walk, spoons at the top but if you keep walking towards the Parish church there's about 20 bars on one road.

Earley has hardly played for us thewwfc, he joined on deadline day, had a small back injury and I'm not sure Skubala rates him that highly either.

He's had run-outs in two the Trophy games (suspended for the third) but I'm not sure he's had minutes in a L1 game tbh. Considering we've had no spare defenders recently, it does seem weird that he isn't making the squad if he's not injured.

Plas Coch on the retail park is a good one for away fans, and is the closest pub to the away end. But as Dan said, Turf (if you can get in there), Maesgwyn is good and a decent size beer garden. Town is about 10 minutes walk and I think all council owned car parks are free to park in (this is a trial at the moment to ease congestion for parking round the vicinity of the ground). Just be wary of local restrictions in place as you would probably get clamped/fined if you're not a resident.

I wouldn't advise Island Green. I avoid that at all costs. It is owned by rogue owners where conveniently the ticket machines 'don't work' and you end up with parking fines, which is a bit shite.

The last time we played Exeter I think was in 2003. We lost 1-0 away on a Tuesday night, then we won something like 10 games in a row and got the 2nd auto promotion spot.

This week, We have Cannon suspended so I expect a massive re-shuffle. I don't mind losing games, but depends on the manner of defeat. Saturday was 1 of those, where all but the keeper should be ashamed of that performance. I'd go with this team:

Burton (GK)
Scarr
Brunt
Cleworth
Barnett
McClean
Rathbone
Dobson
James
Mullin
Bodvarrson

We play completely different away to our home games. We have a good run of something like 6 in the next 8 at home so be good to get some serious points on the board.

How is Burton for a day out on the train?
