We deffo need someone else cos Murphy isnt the answer. With Experience preferably.
But Sean Hessey was Long's replacement and, to judge by the reports, had a great game. The problem was at full back. What on earth has Jonny Bateson done wrong?

To be fair to Pete, the problems weren't isolated to the full back area, even though his performance was sloppy. Sean Hessey did indeed replace Long with an admirable performance, but we failed to replace the aerial aspect that Long gave us. Dare I say, if Andy Owens was in the side, I don't think we'd have conceded the first goal.
It is all about opinions, but, I think that we had a good first half - first 30mins especially - but, for all the possession, we did not threaten their goal!!
Proccy had a good game first half and as always, did all the nasty stuff well - some very good, hard tackling!
The ball went out from their player for the corner, second goal was a dodgy offside/active/inactive type thing...
The one thing that The Shrews did well - that we cannot do - is move the ball quickly and directly, as they did for their third!!
We lack a goal scorer, but we are not a bad team and we are playing some nice stuff!!

Agreed, but what a corner it was. Slung in with great pace with a low trajectory. When one of those is met with any sort of decent contact the defenders have a job on to stop 'em going in. Unlike most of ours.
Think valairian seemed to sum up the game,it was a real smash and grab performance from them,
In my opinion it was a typical tuesday night game following a hard away game the previous saturday.
It took a while for Acci to get going,got a break with a deflected goal and when your at your most vunerable,10 mins after scoring,they switched off at a corner.
Tired legs then seemed to kick in,and at 1-1,it was obvious razor and sean were struggling to get there second wind,and the next goal would be the killer,and so it proved.
No one has mentioned Barnett,who I thought had another top game along with Jimmy.
Hesseys passion and desire shone thro,but height is still needed at this level
