Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Barnsley (1-2).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Shrewsbury as they are travelling to their away game against Bolton Wanderers in the League One. That match is four days after this one.

The Shrewsbury Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 29 in 20 matches. On the other hand, Shrewsbury have conceded 26 goals.
