'Back ourselves': Match winner Anthony Scully looking up as Shrewsbury Town aim to keep up League Two climb

After a tough run at the start of the season - the latest victory means they have lost just two of their last eight games in all competitions - and have won three home games on the spin, having previously not picked up a victory on home soil for eight months.

Salop are still only two points off the relegation zone but have reeled in the sides above them ahead of a trip to Fleetwood on Saturday.

And the 26-year-old winger insists he and his team mates need to back themselves to now climb up the division.

He said: "As a group we should kick on now and back ourselves to climb up the table. 

"We went on a good run of five unbeaten and this is the start now of hopefully a new run. 

"We have our targets as a group. We know what we need, we know what we want.

"We cannot get too carried away with ourselves. We are still in a position that we won’t want to be in, that the fans that watch don’t want to be in.

"We still have a job to do, to climb up the table, but we are all focused on that."

The recent home form has been built on a solid defensive base - which has helped Salop to record wins over Crawley, Cambridge and Newport County.

And Scully has hailed the Salop backline - and believes the turnaround at the back and the clean sheets are no fluke.

He added: "As a group defensively, obviously the back five especially, Will and some of the saves he has pulled off, defensively we’ve been outstanding.

"The lads have been brilliant at the back, but as a group the way we defend together it’s a testament to each of the lads with the energy they’re putting in, the work rate.

"We have got three clean sheets, that isn’t a fluke, that is done by design, so we have to just keep that going."
