When Shrewsbury Town signed centre-backs with experience of League Two promotion in the summer, some fans joked to other clubs on social media: "Good luck scoring against us."

After conceding twice or more in eight of their opening 10 matches of the season, that 'joke' had somewhat of a rotten punchline.

But Salop are yet to be breached in the month of October - following up a stormy goalless draw at Barrow with their first home wins since February.

Right-back Luca Hoole has slotted in on the right of the back three superbly to help Sam Stubbs and Will Boyle kick and head everything away.
