Ollie Westbury and Jonny Drury bring you the latest episode of the Shrews Views podcast.

00:00They're not scoring the goals that they have. I mean, I can't help but think that the Tom

00:04Bloxham departure, and I know like it's only been three games since, so obviously Tom Bloxham

00:09went before the Wrexham game. Obviously, they scored two there, but they've not scored against

00:13Charlton. They've not scored against Stockport. I mean, we were there at the Wrexham game.

00:16That was Shrewsbury capitalising on two mistakes from defenders. Wrexham had an outstanding

00:21finish from John Marquess. But for me, it feels as though a little bit since Tom Bloxham

00:25has gone, they've lost that attacking spark on the right-hand side. I was talking to somebody

00:31about it at a game last night, but you watch Shrewsbury went to Blackpool and they played

00:36in a similar way to how they did last night. They were very organised. They were very resolute.

00:40They stayed behind the ball. But what they had is they had a Tom Bloxham on the right-hand

00:46side who would pick the ball up in his own half and he would run with it and he would

00:49carry it forward and he would carry it forward to the edge of the penalty area and he would

00:53make something happen. And Town have lost that now. They've got a team full of very

00:58functional, very organised, very hard-working footballers that Gareth Ainsworth is getting

01:03the maximum out of, but they are lacking the spark. They are lacking the cutting and that

01:08bit of something that's going to create an opportunity out of nothing. And that's what

01:13they've lost since the departure of Tom Bloxham. And it's the only way you can see it coming

01:21from. It's the transfer window.
