Shrewsbury Town have been urged to continue their perfect Prostar Stadium record in tomorrow's much-anticipated clash with high-flying Bradford.Town have won all three of their home League Two games to date, scoring 12 goals in the process without conceding one at the other end.
Paul Simpson and his management team are understandably delighted with that record - and are looking for more of the same tomorrow when another of the promotion favourites head for Shropshire.
"It's a really good game for everyone to look forward to," said assistant manager John McMahon.
"The home form has been excellent so far and long may that continue.
"Hopefully teams will have a look at the statistics and come here with a little bit of fear.
"But we know tomorrow is going to be a really tough challenge.
"I see them as quite similar to us. They have got good experience down the spine of the side and can be very creative so I would be surprised if they weren't there or thereabouts at the end of the season.
"But we have to keep concentrating on what we are doing and making sure we keep our performance levels high."
Richard Walker, now firmly recovered from a hamstring injury, will be hoping to force his way back into contention for a starting place, having struck twice in the reserves 5-2 success over Macclesfield on Wednesday.
But the game will come too soon for Michael Symes, despite the forward returning to training after a fortnight's absence with a knee problem.
One Shrewsbury player who won't be involved in the 16 is goalkeeper Scott Bevan who will begin a month's loan at Torquay with a trip to Wrexham.
There will be one familiar face in the Bradford line-up with defender Graeme Lee, who spent the end of last season on-loan at Town, expected to captain the Bantams.
