They certainly wanted scunny and not us Well sunday night we will happy and apprehensive of been promoted or sad but looking forward to league one again

Here's a couple of optimism boosters;

Whether Shrewsbury win or lose, they are likely to lose their manager after the game. That would spell disaster for the club who will struggle, at best, in the Championship. Knowing this is likely to happen, I wonder how much it will affect their desire to win?

A contact of mine (please don't ask who it is) knows Paul Hurst well and has discussed the play off final with him. Hurstie believes that Rotherham will turn them over at Wembley! Please keep this to yourselves as I would hate to spread any discontent in the Shrewsbury dressing room.

As with the semi against Scunny, I will be disappointed if we lose but it won't overcome the immense enjoyment of watching the Millers this season. When you consider the position we could have been in if lots of pundits' predictions had come to fruition, reaching the play off final is such a fantastic achievement that needs to be celebrated win or lose.

Onwards and upwards.

Its pretty much a 50-50 game .

They have the pedigree of a good all round team with plenty of time at the top this season. Their stability and grittiness and ability to regroup is noted.

I think our psychological edge is the historic narrative that is firmly in our favour. We will also have a few more fans and that also counts at times.

They have been to wembley this year and although they lost they will now be familiar with it and that should be in their favour.

Both teams have had periods of being unbeatable and then suffered loss of form.

we are prone at the back but very good going forward.

They obviously a very good defensive unit with only Wigan doing better.

I dont know how to make sense of the 1 goal difference overall but it will make for a fascinating watch.

When a strong attacking force meets a strong defensive force its one thing
We also have to factor in a weak defensive force v a weak attacking force.

over to you Einstein.


The other best reason I can give is that we wear Red.

That should blow a sickly blue and yellow odly stripped kit with "The Energy check; your utilities simplified" hugely blazoned on it away ever time

MIGHTY MAGIC MILLERS
RED. Physical
Positive: Physical courage, strength, warmth, energy, basic survival, 'fight or flight', stimulation, masculinity, excitement.
Negative: Defiance, aggression, visual impact, strain.

Being the longest wavelength, red is a powerful colour. Although not technically the most visible, it has the property of appearing to be nearer than it is and therefore it grabs our attention first. Hence its effectiveness in traffic lights the world over. Its effect is physical; it stimulates us and raises the pulse rate, giving the impression that time is passing faster than it is. It relates to the masculine principle and can activate the "fight or flight" instinct. Red is strong, and very basic. Pure red is the simplest colour, with no subtlety. It is stimulating and lively, very friendly. At the same time, it can be perceived as demanding and aggressive.

WHITE.
Positive: Hygiene, sterility, clarity, purity, cleanness, simplicity, sophistication, efficiency.
Negative: Sterility, coldness, barriers, unfriendliness, elitism.

Just as black is total absorption, so white is total reflection. In effect, it reflects the full force of the spectrum into our eyes. Thus it also creates barriers, but differently from black, and it is often a strain to look at. It communicates, "Touch me not!" White is purity and, like black, uncompromising; it is clean, hygienic, and sterile. The concept of sterility can also be negative. Visually, white gives a heightened perception of space. The negative effect of white on warm colours is to make them look and feel garish

In Literature

The Miller's physical stature fits his story, which is uncouth and, for many, obscene. He is a heavyset man, "a stout Carl (fellow) full big" of muscle and bone, and he is always the winner at wrestling. He is a fearful sight and vulgar. Most noticeable is a large wart with hairs growing out as long and as red as a thistle at the tip of his nose. If most of the pilgrims are going to Canterbury for religious reasons, the Miller is probably going to benefit from the curative powers which were heralded. He is an awesome fellow, and, like the Summoner, a person one would not want to meet in the dark. His tale is one of the best constructed and the best comic situations of the all the tales. As evidenced in his tale, the Miller also has an obvious grudge against carpenters and perhaps towards the Reeve himself, who was once a member of a carpenter's guild.


BLUE. Intellectual.
Positive: Intelligence, communication, trust, efficiency, serenity, duty, logic, coolness, reflection, calm.
Negative: Coldness, aloofness, lack of emotion, unfriendliness.


STINKY SHREWSBURY
Blue is the colour of the mind and is essentially soothing; it affects us mentally, rather than the physical reaction we have to red. Strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft blues will calm the mind and aid concentration. Consequently it is serene and mentally calming. It is the colour of clear communication. Blue objects do not appear to be as close to us as red ones. Time and again in research, blue is the world's favourite colour. However, it can be perceived as cold, unemotional and unfriendly.

Positive: Optimism, confidence, self-esteem, extraversion, emotional strength, friendliness, creativity.
Negative: Irrationality, fear, emotional fragility, depression, anxiety, suicide.

The yellow wavelength is relatively long and essentially stimulating. In this case the stimulus is emotional, therefore yellow is the strongest colour, psychologically. The right yellow will lift our spirits and our self-esteem; it is the colour of confidence and optimism. Too much of it, or the wrong tone in relation to the other tones in a colour scheme, can cause self-esteem to plummet, giving rise to fear and anxiety. Our "yellow streak" can surface.

In Literature

The shrew – an unpleasant, ill-tempered woman characterised by scolding, nagging, and aggression – is a comedic, stock character in literature and folklore, both Western and Eastern. The best-known work with this theme is probably Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew.


should be no contest on the football field.

I like the sentiment. However, it's more likely to be the quality of the players wearing the aforementioned blue or red coloured shirts that make the difference. Remember we beat Leyton Orient in the play-off final 2014 wearing a grey kit. 

Give me a grey coloured kit any day.

 Some supporters don't realise the effect that the air temperature has on the match ball plus a sudden surge in earthworm activity at the wrong time in the wrong place on the Wembley pitch could cause the ball to bobble. As for any seismic activity. This can be created quite easily by Millers supporters simultaneously jumping for joy every time we score a goal. Just saying.
