Chesterimp: “Allowed Shrews too much leeway for a physical approach to the game, hope Grant in particular has no injury problems as a result.

No game-changing decisions otherwise but poor control, so 4.”

sedgleyimp: “Started well by getting his cards out for two nasty fouls by them, but then became more lenient. Bit of a strange performance but no major issues. I’m in a generous mood so will go 6.”

WellingtonImp: “Had a good handle on the game for the first 20-30 minutes and was taking no nonsense from the Shrewsbury thugs. Then, went totally AWOL, and lost the plot completely. First half: 7 Second half: 3”
