Ironically I am not really that bothered!!!  Frustrating more than angry.  If there were any positives from that its that Matias, McGugan and Turner got a game in, we are going to need them in the run in this season.  Up to the first 11 to pick us back up on Tuesday and get a result against Burnley.  Burnley played their first team at Arsenal today I think, so maybe we can benefit from that.

Turner got a game and showed us again that hes **** dogshit ??? and we wont benifit from being the laughing stcok of the round ?? **** el charlie are you trying to wind me up more ?? burnley will come away thinking if weve scored at Arsenal then we can score against these muppts who Shrewsbury pissed on !!

Turner and Lees have been our best CH pairing this season until they got injured, he needs game time.  We beat Arsenal 3-0, Burnley lost to them but neither game matters.  They played their first team and lost, we played our 2nd string team and lost, Tuesdays game will be very different from both.  And who cares if other fans are laughing at a "giant killing" by Shrewsbury??  Good luck to them, hope they get the payday they surely need more than we do.  Would have loved a good cup run and I know its a cliche but we really can concentrate now on 18 league games to get into the playoffs!!

At last SCO we are on the same page. I didn't want us to lose but I definitely didn't want a draw. And in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. I'm an old guy. I know the game has changed since my day. It is faster paced, not as "clean," and players do get injured more often. Gone are the days when you could name the same eleven game after game. So, yes, I may be a bit over cautious, but I'd hate to see the likes of Hooper, Bannan or Wallace out for several weeks because of a cup game.

Now, to address Maddix's point: the team we fielded should have been able to beat a pub lg team fighting relegation easily. I hope CC doesn't blame the defeat on a bad penalty (or lack thereof) call.

As to McGugan, I've felt for a long while that he should have been part of the squad. He's played well before and not been on the team sheet next game, so don't know what to make of that.
