¡No Pasarán!
No really. I'm challenging my own capacity for objective thought. 
Long - 4 - Don't think he had a chance with the goals though the 2nd didn't seem that well hit (my view was crap so I'll reserve judgement). And he had nowt else to do really. Never tested on crosses, no saves to make. Distributed it well enough. How do I mark that?
Freeman 4 - Awful first half but our best player in the second.
Basham 4 - Another awful first half. Put his foot in a bit in the second.
Collins 2 - Positionally disastrous. Organisationally useless. Tectonically slow.
Harris 4 - Exposed in the first half. Some good crosses to no-one in the second.
Hammond 4 - Scored a goal, otherwise ineffective.
Baxter 4 - Poor but perhaps unlucky to be hooked at half time. Could have been anyone.
Reed 3 - A kid needing help caught up in a team of immense shitness.
Adams 4 - Did nothing in the first half (and I mean nothing). A few good bursts and crosses in the second.
Sammon 4 - Scored with a great finish. Otherwise struggled to play football. Which is a problem when you're a footballer.
Sharp 3 - Really disappointing - thought he'd shine again next to Sammon. Wrong.
McEv - disgracefully jeered but gave it his all. In truth the Shrews had declared on 4 so not pressured.
Edgar - clumsy on the ball, but little to do after the fourth.
Done - where has his all action style gone? Is it because he's playing in the wrong system? Baffled.
Ref - who cares when we're that crap?
Shrews - blatantly cheated by making an effort, covering the ground quickly, getting to the ball first and playing as a team.
Adkins - I thought his starting XI looked promising on paper but the team were just pathetic individually and worse collectively. The effort was better second half, but at the expense of any sort of pattern. He now needs to revert to the dogs of war method to stabilise a genuinely sinking ship.
Good grief.
