After relegation from League One, morale was low among the Salop fanbase, but not many would have expected such an awful start to their fourth-tier campaign.

In the summer, it looked as though Shrews had recruited well. They went for experience and players proven at this level, but Town simply cannot find a way to halt their slump.

They changed formation for the clash at Meadow Lane, with the head coach making the bold call to play four central defenders across the backline.
