Frustrating. The first 45 saw some of our most enterprising play of the season (and a superb Luca Hoole strike) but our poor ball retention throughout came back to haunt us in the second term as our attempts at game management floundered in the face of our opponents direct onslaught.

Anthony Scully's sumptuous long-range strike was the stand out moment of an open-ended but scrappy encounter from which Town deservedly claimed all three points. A MASSIVE victory and, at last, we finally have parity between points won and games played 🎉

It's the three points on Saturday that really matter. #Salop

We might have nicked a point on another day but it wouldn’t really have been deserved. Crewe miles ahead of us in terms of quality and dominated for long periods.

Painful to drop two points at the death, but it's now four games unbeaten, and this important away point keeps us out of the bottom two, despite wins for Crawley and Newport. In fact, it moves us up a place above Accrington. We're still moving in the right direction.

Gutted we couldn’t hang on for the victory but plenty of positives from today. Both our goals were decent finishes although we should have defended better for both of Oldham’s efforts. Good noise from a lively away end
October 25, 2025 at 4:07 PM
A positive statistic: No other League Two club has had as many clean sheets at home this season as Shrewsbury Town.

Back-to-back wins, a third clean sheet in a row, and just the type of gritty, resilient and determined display we have been craving for the longest time. Something is stirring in SY2 and I think I like it!

The 31 year-old can play at wing-back, in central defence and in midfield, and has spent the vast majority of his career playing in either the Championship or League One. Could be a great addition!

A ridiculously early start then for those hardy fans planning on making the four and a half hour journey (230 miles) from Shrewsbury to South Shields for a 12pm kick off. On a Sunday. 🙄

More movement in Appleton's squad as George Nurse gets a loan deal, initially on a short term. Good luck to him.

Remember when Toto wore a mask at Wembley after breaking his cheekbone? It kept falling down over his eyes, so he put Salop above his own safety and played on without it: "If I took a whack again, that's the way it goes," he commented after the game 💪

This looks like a good move for all parties. A great opportunity for Callum to develop his game at National League level with Gavin Cowan's side. Good luck to him.
