Re: Shrewsbury Town Game
It would seem that my earlier assessment of young Master Windass was borne out again tonight !. His reading of the game was poor, he was 'back on his heels' and hence too late to be involved in the play on several occasions, he switches off and becomes immobile now and again, he is easily shunted off the ball, and he gives the ball away more than any other member of the team !. But he can run !.
However he is young and will hopefully develop some understanding of the game.
Matt Crooks did not have a good game. It is I think generally agreed that it is unlikely that he will prove effective as a striker, but has he the defensive know-how in his locker to play at fullback ?...
Rob Atkinson on the other hand stood out as joint MOM with Piero in my opinion using all of HIS defensive skills to nullify in the main the threat coming from Shrewsbury's right flank.
The midfield worked hard but had to contend with two talented young midfielders whose movement and distribution just about gave them control of the engine-room
A word for Scott who handled and kicked well under atrocious conditions and could not be held responsible for the goals !
Sorry to start off my post sounding like an old misery guts, I really do want the best for Josh and Matt and hope that given the right coaching and support they are able to fulfill their potential over the next couple of seasons.!.
