This is the big thing. Plenty on here complained that Clough picked a side not to lose. Adkins plays to win(apparently), but he's also cautious.Congratulations to Micky Melon and his staff for having the guts to select an attacking team and taking the game by the scruff of the neck!”
Wish we could post that comment on our team (Adkin's for Melon)
A la WarnockThis is the big thing. Plenty on here complained that Clough picked a side not to lose. Adkins plays to win(apparently), but he's also cautious.
I'd be happy if he just picked a side to have a go, not have a kick about
No opposing side has scored 4 at the Lane for over 4 years. As you say ruthlessly put away a poor side.Mostly fair comments.
It's rubbish to say Shrewsbury were dire. They played an inferior team and put us away ruthlessly. That's all can be asked of any team.
The fourth goal was very well done too.
PreciselyA la Warnock

We're easy to scout and they did most things right. Set up to win and exploited our weaknesses.
No, Exeter 4-4, Oct 2011.Brum presumably? I darent even look at the lineup that day, enough to make you weep.

Scunny beat us 4-0 the season before when we got relegated.
Cardiff won 4-3 the season before that.
Brum in the League Cup was 2006 !

Yes, you're right, I was initially looking at League opponents. Brum were a league above at the time.Did we not lose 4-0 in the 4th round of the cup under Wilson to Birmingham?
May have only been 3-0 perhaps. Remember it being a little unjust.

Midfield of Quinn, Doyle, KMac, Willo.
Sigh...
Thanks.
I don't think they should be getting too excited - they were dire, which shows how bad we were.

Just watched the highlights back. Hammond's lack of pace was badly exposed in a 1 on 1 with Collins on their fourth goal. Collins burned past him with ease and let's bear in mind he is more a target man than anything else.
Adams' header in the build up to the 2nd was poor and the Baxter/Freeman combo were awful for the 1st and 3rd. We desperately need some pace and athleticism in this team coupled with round pegs in round holes.
Didn't their fourth result from a piece of poor play by Adams, having said that, bit galling that goal resulted from a free kick for a foul that occurred well inside the box.
Adams did miscontrol the rebound from the free kick to give them back possession but Hammond and Mceveley weren't really outnumbered and should have dealt with the danger. Hammond was beaten far too easily due to a lack of pace.
Thanks.
