They're not scoring the goals that they have. I mean, I can't help but think that the Tom
00:04
Bloxham departure, and I know like it's only been three games since, so obviously Tom Bloxham
00:09
went before the Wrexham game. Obviously, they scored two there, but they've not scored against
00:13
Charlton. They've not scored against Stockport. I mean, we were there at the Wrexham game.
00:16
That was Shrewsbury capitalising on two mistakes from defenders. Wrexham had an outstanding
00:21
finish from John Marquess. But for me, it feels as though a little bit since Tom Bloxham
00:25
has gone, they've lost that attacking spark on the right-hand side. I was talking to somebody
00:31
about it at a game last night, but you watch Shrewsbury went to Blackpool and they played
00:36
in a similar way to how they did last night. They were very organised. They were very resolute.
00:40
They stayed behind the ball. But what they had is they had a Tom Bloxham on the right-hand
00:46
side who would pick the ball up in his own half and he would run with it and he would
00:49
carry it forward and he would carry it forward to the edge of the penalty area and he would
00:53
make something happen. And Town have lost that now. They've got a team full of very
00:58
functional, very organised, very hard-working footballers that Gareth Ainsworth is getting
01:03
the maximum out of, but they are lacking the spark. They are lacking the cutting and that
01:08
bit of something that's going to create an opportunity out of nothing. And that's what
01:13
they've lost since the departure of Tom Bloxham. And it's the only way you can see it coming
01:21
from. It's the transfer window.
