Graham Turner today urged Shrewsbury Town’s supporters to roar their side to promotion – starting with tomorrow’s crunch encounter with Wycombe.

Town begin their 10 game run-in with the visit of a Wycombe side currently lying in the third automatic spot.

Victory at the Greenhous Meadow will see Town move within one point of the top three, and Turner has stressed the vital role fans can play during the tense closing weeks of the season.

“The supporters have got a massively important part to play,” said the experienced Town chief.

“Some of them would have travelled down to Torquay last week and seen a below-par performance.

“But the chances are quite a few of those will also have seen the excellent display at Lincoln.

“Everyone has the desire to get promoted and the fans can be a big help, especially to the younger players.”

While the stakes are clearly high in tomorrow’s game, Turner is keen not to place extra players on his squad as they aim to produce the perfect response to last week’s shock 5-0 defeat at Torquay.

“Promotion will not be won or lost tomorrow,” he added.

“It’s an important game but there are still 10 to go and that’s nearly a quarter of the season. What we have got to do is try and take the pressure out of the situation for players.

“Everybody realises how important the game is but we have to try and make sure the players don’t get too uptight, particularly in the wake of last week.”

Turner will be forced into at least one change in his starting line-up, with right back Jermaine Grandison beginning a three match ban for his red card at Plainmoor.

David Raven and Kelvin Lomax are both vying for that position while the Town boss must decide whether to recall striker Matt Harrold, now fully recovered from his bout of tonsillitis, for the visit of his former club.
