MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (a)

[Mr Angry]

One little thing re: being able to catch the game.

For those who live outside of Berkshire, you can go onto BBC Sounds and then find BBC Berkshire in the Local Radio section and listen to the game like that.

You sure about that?

League games have always previously been off air online for contractual reasons.

If you live in the UK the only legal way to get games is via local and national radio stations or RoyalsTV or another club's equivalent. There is a general broadcast blackout on ALL LEAGUE games that kick off at 3pm on a Saturday. Internet broadcasts of these games are barred and all you'll get is some childish football focus type latest scores routine.

I haven't tried it for a League Saturday 3pm kick off; it was on for the FA Cup game last week.

I will try it for the game this weekend and report back.

For some weird reason FA and League Cup games are different and will usually be carried on the internet, just depends how organised the radio stations are.

I listened to the game on Tuesday night that way.

They occasionally don't block a midweek game. But the majority have always previously been blocked. And in fact I tried Blackpool earlier this season when royalsTV was out and it was blocked.

[Brogue]

Actually now IN! for this one. Hoping to see us break our duck. A new ground for me too

[WestYorksRoyal]

Reading Shrewsbury previews and fan comments, this is absolutely the sort of situation we're familiar with. Saying it's "must win" and that Taylor should go if they lose. Perhaps we can use another team's lowest ebb to kick out of ours?

Relegation six-pointer

Are Man Utd doing that badly?

So that’s a yes then.

[Royal_jimmy]

Shrewsbury really don't score many at home

[Sutekh]

As usual the better players are left out

[Sutekh]

Mukairu has totally disappeared (not that he's all that) so presume another injury. Thankfully still no sign of Mola.

Defence expected to be unchaged from the malaise on Tuesday.

Until today when Charity FC turn up.

[Royal_jimmy]

Damn. 2 up front he must be desperate and learnt from Tuesday.

If we lose this we'll be 13 points behind Shrewsbury

[traff]

We will be fine, Azeez is starting.

[Hound]

Doesn’t make me particularly happy that team tbh

Isn't big Kelvin our top goalscorer?
what has he done wrong to keep on being left out or has he, like so many, had a fall out with the manager?

[WestYorksRoyal]

Selles wants to be sacked and get his payout.

[Snowflake Royal]

Doesn’t make me particularly sad.

Dorsett is a better defender than NGW, but worse attacker. We need to improve defensively.

Yiadom is our best RB.

Bindon and Abbey are too inexperienced to play together IMO, but Dean isn’t good enough, Holmes' confidence is shot and McIntyre is injured.

Hutchinson brings some much needed nasty and is one of the better midfielders defensively. Trash last game, but he can play better. Only really competing with Craig.

Wing is the stand out player.

Azeez makes terrible decisions, but he's always involved unlike the other wingers who go missing.

Knibbs is the most experienced winger and is quite good at stealing the ball high. But isn’t great defensively and goes missing. Competing with Mukairu who doesn't really add anything, Camara and maybe Vickers.

Smith is the only striker with a proven goalscoring record.

Ballard is quick and has pinched the odd goal. I'd prefer Ehibhatiomhan but he struggles to last the game.

It's not far from one of our best XIs. It all depends on whether USelles sets them up right and can get them to play. Which is where my doubts are.

[Hound]

Don’t think Binden and Abbey have been great for a while. And with Dorsett having only played 1 game all season, don’t think it’s the right choice. Has Holmes lost his confidence?

Would prob have gone Holmes or Abbey/Dean

Kelv should start. Azeez prob needs a break

Is Mukairo really such a waste that he doesn’t deserve a spot on tbe bench - pretty depressing all round if so
