Shrewsbury Town picked up their first point of the season on Saturday - here are the player ratings.

Toby Savin 

Got the call up after the foot injury to Manchester United loanee Elyh Harrison, and he looked nervous. He did not have a lot to do, but he looked uncertain. 

Uncertain: 5

Sam Stubbs 

A Salop debut for the former Cheltenham man. The back three looked edgy in the first half, but they settled after the break to keep a clean sheet.

Steady: 6

Tom Anderson

Playing on debut at the heart of a new look back three. He did OK in front of the home fans while Shrews were not overly tested defensively.

OK: 6

Will Boyle

The left-footed defender won quite a lot of headers from balls into the Shrews box. He will get better and better as he plays more football. 

Decent: 6

George Nurse 

Got the nod ahead of Mal Benning, and he was arguably Town’s best player on the day. A good attacking threat down the left, and he defended well too. 

Promising: 7

Luca Hoole

He was a big outlet down the right and he looked like the most likely to produce something for Town, but he also lacked a bit of composure at times too. 

Mixed: 6

Sam Clucas 

A debut at the base of midfield for the veteran, and you can see what he brings to this Salop side. He is neat in possession of the ball and kept Town ticking over. 

Tidy: 6 

Alex Gilliead 

Always looking to get onto the front foot and drive Town forward. He runs with the ball as well, a steady start for Gilliead. 

OK: 6

Harrison Biggins 

One of his best games in a Shrewsbury shirt. You can understand why Michael Appleton selected him. He did well in this one. 

Good: 7

Anthony Scully

The forward played ahead of George Lloyd and Callum Stewart up front, and he was a livewire. If Town can keep him fit, then he will be a good addition. 

Bright: 7

John Marquis

Not the skipper's best day. Worked hard as he always does, but in truth, there was not a lot for him to work with. 

Starved: 6

Subs

Perry 6 (Gilliead 67), Lloyd 6 (Scully 74), Sang (Biggins 83)

Not used: Benning, Dinanga, Nsiala, Stewart.
