Shrewsbury player ratings after Notts County thrashing

Elyh Harrison

The keeper has been good since he arrived, but he won’t want to see the Magpies’ first goal again in a hurry. It was his error that caused it.

Mistake: 5

Sam Stubbs

Put in a wonderful cross for John Marquis to head home for Town’s first of the season, but he got nowhere near close enough to Nick Tsaroulla for County’s third.

Difficult: 5

Tom Anderson

Almost pulled Shrewsbury level when his header was acrobatically saved by Kelle Roos, but it was another hard day for the Salop backline.

Hard: 5

Toto Nsiala

Recalled to the starting line-up as Shrewsbury played four centre-backs. It was not the return Nsiala would have been hoping for, with Town thrashed.

Challenged: 5

Will Boyle

The centre-back played at left-back at Meadow Lane, a position that did not look comfortable for him. It was a tough evening for the experienced defender.

Tough: 4

Tom Sang

One of the only Salop players who got on the ball and had the bravery to try and make things happen. But it was not his night.

Tried: 5

Sam Clucas

He has not been able to hit the ground running since his arrival in Shropshire. The game bypassed the midfielder here.

Off colour: 4

John Marquis

Scored Town’s first goal of the season with a decent header and won a few free-kicks. Overall, he didn’t have the impact in the final third he would have liked.

Mixed: 5

Taylor Perry

One of the most likely outlets in the first half, with Perry playing on the right. Most of Salop’s good play came through him.

Tried: 5

Anthony Scully

Moved out to the left side and had a disappointing evening at Meadow Lane. He didn’t show the quality you would expect from an experienced player.

Struggled: 4

George Lloyd

Had nothing to feed off in the final third. The former Cheltenham man looked like an isolated figure.

Isolated: 5

Subs

Luca Hoole 5 (Nsiala 73), George Nurse 5 (Boyle 73), Callum Stewart 5 (Scully 73)

Not used: Savin, Biggins, Gilliead, England.
