Really tough game today.
When Cotterill took charge at the end of November Shrewsbury were second bottom on 9 points - 1 ahead of Wigan.
Since then, in the league, they've beaten Doncaster, Lincoln and Hull away and drawn with Charlton and Accrington at home and now sit 16th on 20 points - 5 ahead of us.
He's clearly provided the much lauded "new manager" bounce since joining them.
I'm hoping they relax their guard today cos it's "only Wigan" after playing a lot of the big guns in the division recently.
I'd definitely take a draw.

As usual I will be happy with a decent performance and hope we can shade it with the odd goal or two.
Wait to see who we have available and which dozy sod has injured himself by dropping a mince pie on his toe yesterday. The way our luck is going with injuries we are now down to the bare bones of a squad.
Three points would make a wonderful Christmas present however Santa hasn't been very generous so far this season.

Latics: J.Jones (Capt); James, Johnson, Tilt, Pearce; Merrie, Perry; Gardner, Palmer, Naismith; Keane
Subs: O.Evans, Obi, Long, Smith, Crankshaw, Aasgaard, Joseph
Hopefully back 2 our 4-2-3-1 and a bit of possession / ball playing and with us being somewhat harder to play through. Some of the recent opposition have just seemed to saunter through our midfield unopposed.

Do we not have a groundsman? Rugby haven't played on it in around 6 weeks.
Nothing to do with the rugby and everything to do with lack of maintenance and numbers of ground staff. Are those banks of heat lamps ever used anymore ? I doubt it.
This game is unremarkable in every respect so far ...I had hopes for Palmer when he signed but he can go back to Swindon as soon as he likes for me

Think the admins let the groundsmen go.
What a drudge this game is so far! And that was just a nailed on penalty!

Unbelievable that's not been given. Was nowhere near ball.
