Well, what a game, shame we didn't hang on for all 3 points but a draw is still a great result there. 4 points out of 6 against them.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Great point

Would have taken a point at the start, but being 5 minutes away from taking all 3 will be slightly disappointing.

Nice to be saying disappointed at the league leaders......

OK. Disappointing end, but it is a good result for us. Real shame that all the other teams around us did so well this afternoon. We've got to beat Cheltenham on Tuesday, which may not be straightforward - we've put our heart and soul into this game against the Shrews because we knew how important it was not to lose. Now we've got to really focus on what, on paper, should be ane asy game against lowly Cheltenham.

Said before the game a draw would be a great result and it still is, but does feel disappointing after coming so close, especially due to a mistake.

4 points from 6 from one of the top teams is a good return though.

Yep I think most on here will feel exactly the same. Mind you last week we got a winner just 2mins from the end so cant moan too much I suppose. Nah lets moan............

What about the saves he made though? Let's focus on the positives

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Would have taken a point before the game and after stealing a win last week can't be too disappointed.

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Unbeaten in 9!

A few said we would get spanked today, this result really shows we are as good as the apparent best team in the league.

Now lets beat two of the worst teams in this next week!

UTB.

 

[Tinky]

Does not count for anything if we don't win on Tuesday, let's all hope we do not play as bad as we did against York!!! That was a lucky win!!

 

[LennySUFC]

Feels like a loss, bentley making a huge mistake in a big big game! Timlin MOTM, Leonard needs to be dropped he just hasnt been the same player this season! He had 50 yards to run into, so he looks for a pass instead of doing what he's known for! Great goal by Payne

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Good point against a good team. could have won it..could have lost it. Draw seems to be fair. unbeaten in 9..and I think the positive vibe should stay within the squad for our upcoming fixtures. still all to play for. UTB

If that had been Paul Smith....


Smith saves a penalty and gets criticised for using his wrong hand, Bentley costs us two points and we brush it under the carpet.

 

[shrimperjon]

Make no mistake that's a great result, could have been better but I would happily have taken a point at the start. Six points from the next two games and we will probably be top three. Well done lads

 

[Tommy2holes]

How many made the trip?

Did he though? How many other saves did he make in the match that kept us in the game?

BBC ESSEX SAID 416 shrimpers made the trip to shropshire

Hope so but even if we win the next two, its proving difficult to catch them teams above. Just are not dropping points! Here's hoping though.

Additionally, Paul Clarke was just saying lets get them fans behind the team at home because its very tense at Rootshall. Don't think we can argue with that!

So let's get behind the boy's next week, as a whole stadium, UNITED TOGETHER!

COME ON SOUTHEND!
