To be serious for a moment, it has been great to watch Rovers play this year, it really is entertaining stuff, but I've seen plenty of Rovers sides (and many other teams) try to kill a game and it's just part of football. Shrewsbury really were desperately dull though, I can't imagine he had City playing like that when you won the league. No, but we'd assembled a team with most of the best players in that division: It was electrifying stuff. Cotts has had to cut his cloth to suit the Shrews more modest circumstances. If he plays for a point on the road and three at home, he'll be just using his resources to their best advantage. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get 99 points, win home games 8-2, away games 6-0 and win at Wembley (in front of a GENUINE 40K+ following) by playing like that. Presumably this is all stuff that Joey has comfortably surpassed in his managerial career to date which, if so, does give him the right, to be fair, to ditch his usual humility and stick the proverbial knife into Steve. Either that or he is just a horrible little scouse bastard who is getting ahead of himself and indulging in a feeding frenzy for the benefit of some of your less intelligent supporters every time something goes against him.................two weeks in a row belittling fellow professional Managers, he's a ******* ***, lets be 100% fair and honest about it.

My thoughts exactly. I said in the bar after the game, the more the Rovers crowd booed the Shrewsbury tactics, the more those players would have been thinking 'yeah, this is working' 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrews had 20 attempts on goal with 5 on target Tin pot had 9 attempts on goal with just 2 on target I thought I heard that thug Barton say Shrews scored with their only attempt on goal.... Tin Pots goalie had to make 4 saves whilst Shrews keeper had just one to make. Edited August 28, 2022 by bcfc01 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure there are many clubs in the Prem that would struggle to fill a tiny ground like the Mem but there you go… As for how the season will pan out, best not to make any predictions just yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WessexPest Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Love how it still rankles with the Scum that Cotts laid the ghost of 1990 with a title win and picked up the FL Trophy for good measure while that scabby Horfield Rag Ass outfit were out of the EFL losing to such titans of the game as Braintree and Bath. Cotts has everything that Sharton could never have in a billion incarnations - likability, fortitude in the face of serious illness, class, and silverware. There were two highly objectionable managers at the Pisspoorial Mound yeaterday, and neither of them was named Steve Cotterill.

It must be tue, as nearly everyone said so on the Gas forum And also according to the gobby Gashead in the pub last night. Shrews came playing for a draw up against the mighty Rovers and were time wasting and falling over from the first minute. Apparently didn't have a shot on target (they had 5, TinPot had 2), and the keeper didn't have a save to make (TinPot keeper had 4, Shrews keeper had one). Another TinPot tit lying to big up his club and, in some misguided sense of reflected glory, himself. Rolled eyes all round.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Quite disrespectful and bitter from Barton. SC is a 'get on with the job' kind of manager and is already proven. Club to club circumstances and the job required changes. I thought we played some cracking football that season and he certainly can't be labled as anything regardless of what the Shrews played like on Sat. Quite glad he was able to frustrate them as much as he clearly has. Nice one Cotts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
