I have now spent two years at the helm of Shrewsbury Town. While we didn’t exactly suffer from ‘second season syndrome’ in 2019/2020, it was perhaps a disappointment compared to what was such an encouraging debut campaign.
In this post, we’ll assess our fortunes in League One, as well as the domestic cup competitions (even though I’d rather not write any more about our Pointless Trophy debacle). Then we’ll have the usual awards, stats and youth development updates, as well as my provisional plans for what will surely be another busy transfer window.
Oh yes, and I’ll cap things off as ever with a general season round-up, looking at all the goings-on in the English leagues and beyond. If you’re a Chelsea fan, you will probably want to skim over that. Just a thought.
LEAGUE ONE
We flew out of the traps, winning our first four league games with the loss of just one goal. The highlight was a 5-0 thrashing of newly-relegated Hull which included a hat-trick from Lee Angol, who enjoyed another blistering start to a season. We dropped points for the first time when visiting Milton Keynes, who already had their sights on another promotion after coming up from League Two.
Our opening 11 fixtures would yield eight victories and put us at the top of the table. However, there were a couple of worrying horror shows away from home against Luton and Walsall. While we somewhat eased our defensive problems in October, results started to become rather more inconsistent.
We opened the month with a home loss against Southend, which was a harbinger for struggles to come. Accrington also took three points away from New Meadow in the dying moments, though our very next match saw us obliterate leaders Bolton’s unbeaten record. Come Halloween, we were in 2nd place and making a strong case for automatic promotion.
And then we fell apart. We would win just two more league matches in 2019, putting a combined nine goals past Charlton and Alan Pardew’s Coventry. On-loan goalkeeper Freddie Woodman‘s confidence was noticeably rattled by a couple of horror shows against Fleetwood and Yeovil in between those victories.
December was a shambles, with three disappointing draws and a gruelling home loss to struggling Rotherham, for whom defender Jimmy Dunne scored two identikit goals. Come the new year, our promotion challenge had stalled and we were even out of the play-off places.
Despite throwing away leads against both Wimbledon and MK, January brought a return to form – and to the top six. We were heavily inspired by some incredible scoring form from another loanee in Spanish winger Rafa Mir. He was arguably at his best when we turned the tables on Luton, scoring twice before setting up a first Shrews league goal for homegrown striker Lifumpa Mwandwe.
Our resurgence continued for a while in February, but then we had a 10-game stretch which included one victory (at Plymouth) and four straight home defeats. A series of defensive calamities saw us fall from 3rd to 7th, and promotion was looking increasingly unlikely.
Going down 3-1 at home to Charlton in early April gave us a much-needed kick up the rear. A return to basics saw us grind out a draw at Fleetwood before narrowly beating Yeovil. Though we missed a great chance to beat Coventry again, a sensational victory over Bristol Rovers propelled us back into the top six. We then saw off rock-bottom Port Vale to rubber-stamp a play-off berth.
Finishing 5th meant we had a Semi Final against our nemeses Fleetwood, who were a place above us in the final standings. After Joey Barton’s Cod Army took the lead in the first leg at New Meadow, inside-forward Sullay Kaikai equalised to earn us a creditable 1-1 draw. Sadly, our attackers never really turned up for the return leg at Highbury Stadium, where a late Fleetwood goal consigned us to defeat – and to another season in League One.
FA CUP
Our FA Cup campaign began with us seeing off Boston from the National League North without too many issues. Trying to get past Fleetwood and make it to Round 3 was another matter. Just like in the play-offs about five months later, the Cod Army claimed an away draw, before one incisive attack in the replay on the Lancashire coast knocked us out.
EFL CUP
We again exited this competition at the first hurdle. Rotherham raced into a 3-0 half-time lead at the New York Stadium, and Fejiri Okenabirhie‘s second-half riposte for the Shrews was too little, too late.
EFL TROPHY
What should’ve been a straightforward Pointless Trophy group campaign ended in disaster. After having mixed fortunes in penalty shoot-outs against Salford and Everton Under-23s, our fate was decided at home to Accrington. A 1-0 lead would have sent us into the next round, but we sat back too early, and Stanley punished us with two late goals to leave us rock-bottom on three points.
AWARDS & STATISTICS
One man dominated our awards night, and that man was advanced playmaker Charlie Colkett. He retained his Player of the Season award, albeit with a smaller share of the vote than last term. While Charlie’s record of 10 assists this season wasn’t a patch on the 15 he managed previously, there was little doubting that he was our premier creator.
Aged 23, Colkett was still youthful enough to be voted Young Player of the Season again. The loanee-turned-freebie was also nominated as our Signing of the Season. In fact, in the general season review, he was chosen as the best signing across League One this term!
Returning fans’ favourite and vice-captain David Edwards placed 2nd in the Player of the Season vote, having excelled in a box-to-box role. Even at the age of 34, Dave has shown few signs that he’s on the decline, so I’ll be happy to call upon his vast experience again next season.
In 3rd place was leading scorer Angol, who found the net 22 times – only two goals short of last season’s tally. Lee has shown time and again that he can be very difficult to stop when he is on his very best form. Another season of 20+ goals will surely cement his place in the hearts of thousands of Salopians.
Angol scored his fair share of wonder goals, but our Goal of the Season – as voted for by the fans – was netted by Kaikai. To be fair, his long-range rocket against Portsmouth in February would’ve taken some beating. After a slow start to his third spell at New Meadow, I’m hopeful that Sullay will hit his best form on a more consistent basis next season.
Although eight Shrews players got average ratings of 7.00 or above, there were no real standout performers. Centre-half Tosin Adarabioyo was perhaps the most consistent of our regular starters, often keeping us solid at the back. Adarabioyo ranked 13th overall in League One on average ratings, with Mir and Angol just sneaking into the top 10.
Despite having rather limited opportunities at left-back, Ryan Haynes was surprisingly impressive and provided compelling evidence that he should start more regularly next term. Only Edwards claimed more ‘man of the match’ awards than Haynes, who was joint-second on that front with several players.
Edwards made more tackles per 90 minutes than any other Shrews player bar defensive midfielder Anthony Grant. Those two also ranked high on our pass completion chart, trailing only Bryn Morris (88%) and teenager Jack North (89%, though in far fewer games than Grant or Morris). If Jack can replicate his record when starting more regularly next season, he could become very dangerous.
Colkett was again the top Salop player on assists. Geordie winger Alex Gilliead was next-best on eight assists (and four goals) in what was a somewhat difficult second season after such an impressive debut campaign. Alex is only 24 and still developing very well technically, so I’m optimistic that we’ll soon see him back to his productive best.
We found the net 82 times this season, compared to 94 last term. Angol (22) and Mir (12) were our only players to reach double figures on goals, though Kaikai and Edwards each came very close. It’s interesting that we had high league rankings for overall shots on target (2nd) and chances created (3rd), but were only mid-table in terms of actually converting our shots into goals (15th, on 9%). I know what we’ll be working on in the summer…
Our attacking record has slightly worsened, then, as has our defensive record. The ball ended up in our net 67 times across 55 matches in all competitions, though we did improve our headers won ratio to a league-best 65%. We also had the division’s best disciplinary record, only collecting 25 yellow cards and one red (for Angol at home to Plymouth in October).
Lastly, we must talk about our home form. It’s incredibly alarming that we were beaten at New Meadow in the league on nine occasions, which was three defeats more than relegated Plymouth suffered at Home Park. While an improved away record has somewhat counteracted that, it’s obvious that we need to become more resilient – and attack more intelligently – in front of our own fans.
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Now let’s update you on our young prospects, starting with those players who ended the season out on loan in the lower leagues. Unfortunately, there’s not much good news on that front.



John McAtee‘s nine goals for Gateshead were enough to earn him a new one-year contract, though he still has plenty of developing to do to be first-team ready. I think he needs one more season out on loan before I can say with confidence whether he’ll make the grade at Shrewsbury.
20-year-old playmaker Ryan Barnett is in a similar situation. While I admire his work rate and passing ability, his mediocre late-season form at Hartlepool perhaps contributed to them missing out on the National League play-offs. He too could do with another loan spell to build up his senior experience while I assess his long-term prospects.
Unfortunately, centre-back Zak Jules – who also spent the season on loan at Hartlepool – does not have a future at New Meadow. While Jules is a strong and energetic centre-back, his below-average composure counted heavily against him when I pondered whether to give him a new deal.
Two other centre-halves – Christos Shelis and Luke Ward – and goalkeeper Cameron Gregory will also leave after their respective stints at Macclesfield, Hereford and York. I once had high hopes for Gregory, but conceding 47 goals in 33 National League games rang alarm bells with me. Shelis actually played pretty well for Macclesfield, but he too lacked composure, and his heading ability wasn’t up to scratch either.
Back at Shrewsbury, Mwandwe had an okay first season in our senior set-up. The 19-year-old striker made 24 appearances, scoring four goals, but nerves did seem to get to him on more than a few occasions.
To be fair, a series of knocks and minor injuries saw Fumpa miss about a month’s worth of action and hampered his technical development. At least he’s made progress on the physical side of his game, refining the pace and agility which makes him such an exciting prospect. I rate him so highly that I’ve offered him a new two-year contract, which will hopefully be signed soon.
Budding box-to-box midfielder Danny Hughes completed his first full season in our league-winning Under-18s team with some impressive stats – and his attributes aren’t too shabby either. I’m actually not too worried that his Determination has dropped slightly, because he still trains very well and may soon warrant more first-team opportunities.
Dan Roberts is our other high-rated midfield prospect from that age group, but my hopes for him have faded a bit. While Dan’s excellent technique and flair could turn him into an exciting advanced playmaker if he puts his mind to it, his lack of determination remains a major concern.
Centre-back Ryan Millington and midfielder Ryan Grosvenor were our only second-year scholars to do well enough to earn professional terms. The plan is for both Ryans to be loaned out next season for work experience. While left-back Zac Hartley and striker Jamaine Turner have made first-team appearances in the past, they’ve not developed as expected and will be released.
TRANSFER PLANS
Chairman Roland Wycherley isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. He’s given me an initial playing wage budget of £62,000 per week, which I think is reasonable for a club of our stature. Our highest-paid players currently earn £3,000 per week, and I’m now prepared to stretch the maximum wage to £3,500.
My new transfer budget of £300,000 is slightly more modest than it was last season. Again, I will concentrate on loan signings and free transfers, only making cheap cash transfers for players with significantly better ability and/or potential than we already have.
While this is a long-term project, I’m getting restless in League One and really want us to take that next step to the Championship sooner rather than later. My signings for this window will therefore be generally medium-term. I’ll shift most of the dead wood who just aren’t good enough for League One, and replace them with established players who have more experience either here or in the higher tier.
I’ve said plenty of times before that I want to make Woodman’s loan deal from Newcastle permanent and give us a first-choice goalkeeper for the long haul. We might face competition from Rangers and some Championship clubs, but if we can get Freddie signed up, it would be a massive coup.
Of our four loanees, Adarabioyo is the only one I’d consider keeping around for a second season, provided that Manchester City agree to the extension. If not, then I’ll look for at least two central defenders similar to Tosin – strong, quick, and mentally solid – to provide competition for Omar Beckles and Kyle Howkins.
Left-back Brendan Galloway would cost us too much money to sign permanently from Everton, and even if he wasn’t, I think he’s just a little too unstable at times. I want his replacement to be a longer-term signing instead of another loanee, and the same is true on the right flank. Ideally, I’d like someone who’s a bit more defensively responsible than Kane Wilson, who’ll return to West Brom.
A proper hard-nosed defensive midfielder is top of my shopping list. Grant is past his best, and while Morris has suitable attributes for a holding midfielder, he’s more suited to a box-to-box or playmaking role. I reckon we’ve got plenty of good midfield options elsewhere and won’t be desperate for any further signings in that area.
The enigmatic Gilliead could do with a new right-wing rival to replace Mir, who did very well for Shrewsbury but is now wanted back at Wolves. I might also swoop for another inside-forward on the left flank to keep Kaikai on his toes. Danny Redmond will be retained as a backup left-winger/advanced playmaker, but Arthur Gnahoua will leave.
Lastly, I want at least two new centre-forwards. A younger, more explosive loanee could provide Angol with serious competition in the advanced forward role. A big old-school target man who can consistently perform at this level (i.e. not Aaron Amadi-Holloway or Robbie Muirhead) would also be useful if we have to go route one.
SEASON ROUND-UP
Manchester United pulled out the stops to try and end a seven-year wait for Premier League glory. Manager José Mourinho apparently smiled for the first time since 2006 when he heard that vice-chairman Ed Woodward had snared Eden Hazard from Chelsea for £104million. Hazard justified his worth by claiming 17 goals and 14 assists on his way to being named PFA Player of the Year for a second time.
Though Tottenham were top for much of the season, United led by goal difference going into the final day. The Red Devils then completed the job with a 2-0 win at Burnley, thanks to goals from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Alexis Sánchez. Even if they had blown their chance, they would have claimed the title anyway, as Spurs contrived to lose 7-1 at Manchester City. Lads…
That was United’s second trophy of the season, as Romelu Lukaku’s double at Wembley against City had earned them the EFL Cup. Despite claiming a double, Mourinho had a public falling-out with goalkeeper David De Gea, while his playmaker Paul Pogba reportedly sounded out a move to La Liga champions Real Madrid. This can only end well.
After last season’s remarkable success, Liverpool crashed back to Earth with a bump. The Reds came 4th in the Premier League, behind Arsenal and their 29-goal leading scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Meanwhile, a 4-1 first-leg lead over Bayern München in their Champions League Quarter Final ended with an away-goals exit after they lost 3-0 in Germany.
However, the worst was yet to come. Having come from 2-0 behind against Bournemouth in the FA Cup Final, Liverpool suddenly folded in stoppage time, conceding a 94th-minute winner to Marc Pugh. Just hours after that Wembley defeat, Jürgen Klopp was given his marching orders. He was replaced at Anfield with – funnily enough – Pep Guardiola, who was last seen leading Napoli to 4th in Serie A.
Guardiola’s old club Manchester City missed out on the Champions League again, finishing a distant 5th in their first season under Carlo Ancelotti. Another 6th-place finish was enough to get Watford into the Europa League this time around. Chelsea had another disappointing campaign, though they sensibly sacked Maurizio Sarri before he could exhaust the club’s entire supply of cigarettes.
Bournemouth narrowly avoided relegation on the final day, with Crystal Palace going down on goal difference. Blackburn’s miserable defence went straight back to the Championship, as did the club formerly known as Frank Lampard’s Derby™. They became plain old Derby again on New Year’s Eve, when Lampard hot-footed it to Newcastle to succeed Marcelo Bielsa as the Geordies’ newest saviour. Awkward.
Late-season surges saw Fulham and Norwich claim automatic promotion from the Championship at the expense of Leicester. The Foxes would take the scenic route back to the Premier League, beating West Brom 2-1 in the Play-Off Final. Considering that Leicester were 18th when they sacked Sam Allardyce 10 games into the season, that was quite a recovery.
The Champions League was won for the first time by PSG, who beat Bayern 2-1 in Istanbul, courtesy of a penalty from ex-Leicester midfielder Adrien Silva. There was English success in the Europa League, where Arsenal came from 2-0 down to beat Borussia Dortmund on penalties. Aubameyang scored his 43rd goal in all competitions this season, but the headlines were stolen by 19-year-old Emile Smith-Rowe, who converted the winning penalty.
Italy’s 3-2 victory over Portugal in the Euro 2020 Final at Wembley left Cristiano Ronaldo in tears (again). Ronaldo had single-handedly halved a 2-0 deficit, only for Milan midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura to clinch victory for the Azzurri 12 minutes from time. Despite trouncing Scotland 7-1 at Hampden Park in the Group Stage, England lost 2-0 to Germany in the Last 16, prompting Gareth Southgate to resign as manager.
