Shrewsbury Town form and stats
With 0 League One wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Shrewsbury Town, who have the fewest points (3) at home in League One, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Shrewsbury have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
The Shrewsbury supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Oxford City (after extra-time) in FA Cup and win 1-0. A 2-2 draw away in the League One before that, with Milton Keynes Dons the opponent.
A. Pierre was on the receiving end of a red card in the Shrewsbury-Oxford City (after extra-time) match, being sent off in the 81st minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of S. Ricketts when D. Udoh scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute.
