Dave Edwards: Home comforts desert Shrewsbury Town who now face pivotal three games
It has been a challenging week for Shrewsbury Town and home comforts seem to have deserted them.
After what had been a good run of home results, you looked at the games on paper, and you would not have expected much from the first two against Bolton and Huddersfield.
But they would have seen Saturday against Stevenage as a real chance, even though they are comfortably mid-table, to go and get some points.
I was at the match against the Terriers on Tuesday night, and I thought Shrewsbury played very well. They looked like the better team.
If you were a neutral there, and you did not know where both teams were in the league, you would have thought Shrewsbury were higher up. As I said, I thought the performance was very good.
The ball just did not bounce for them when it was in the box, and they got done right at the end. You get to the Stevenage game, and it was a match where both teams looked very tired, especially at this stage of the season.
Salop have not got the luxury of rotating too much between matches, but you are still asking the same Town players to go out there and play with the same courage, desire and work rate - and there was no lack of effort - but the result was beyond them.
