Action has already taken place for Shrewsbury in FA Cup as they have defeated Cambridge United to reach the 2nd Round. Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 4th round replays.With 0 League One wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Shrewsbury Town are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home League One games in a row without a win, the Shrewsbury Town fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Doncaster Rovers game long ago, can be stopped today.
Shrewsbury manager S. Ricketts and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Milton Keynes Dons in the League One. Heartbreak before that as Shrewsbury lost 1-2 at Ipswich Town's place.
