Dave Edwards: Another chance missed for struggling Shrewsbury Town

It's a really disappointing loss to Salford and we weren't able to build on the terrific win against Barnet last week.

Michael Appleton will be really feeling it because this habit Shrewsbury have of going behind is really hurting them.

They were very comfortable against Barnet when they went ahead because Banet had to come out and Shrewsbury could pick them off and use the space better - but going behind in a game is a completely different story.

For the first goal, it was a long ball up the pitch and there's two contacts missed, allowing Dan Udoh to get himself on the end of it.

Appleton deserves some credit at half-time because he saw an area where we could improve and brought John Marquis off for Isaac England. Taking a striker off for a midfielder might look like a negative change, but having an extra man in midfield really helped.

It gave Town an extra pass and the guile that Isaac England has in midfield really helped in that sort of game where we have got a little bit more of the ball. You need someone to have the confidence to take on those forward passes and he always does that.

He was the one who changed the game quite quickly in the second half with a lovely guided pass over the top to Sam Clucas, who took an excellent touch and produced a wonderful finish, getting Town back in the game.

From that point on I thought Town were brilliant and were the team pressing for the goal, they were the team on the front foot.

I don't think many people in the stadium would have thought that Salford were the ones who were going to get that second goal and the third goal, but Town couldn't capitalise on that pressure and get the second goal.

You have to give credit to Salford and Karl Robinson. He made a double change that stopped Town's momentum. Ben Woodburn was one of those substitutions and he's the one who scored the free-kick.

Even though it's a free-kick on the edge of the box, I think it's a disappointing goal. It looks quite obvious what's going to happen, Town have got a wall and then they've got a gap and then they've got another two players ready to close it down.

Udoh stood in that gap blocking Elyh Harrison's vision and somebody on that pitch, an experienced leader, has got to recognise that Udoh is always going to try and open up that as a shooting lane. 

It was too easy for Salford to get in front and when Town were chasing, Udoh got the third goal with another brilliant finish.

It feels really disappointing because it was a good performance with some really good moments. But defensively, it was far too easy for Salford to score three goals. 

The loan signings were excellent again. Ihionvien and Kabia worked really well as a pair up front and both had chances that they were very unlucky with. They will be key for us moving forward.

We've got options, especially with Chuks Aneke working to get himself back to full fitness and I do feel like a run of results is coming.

I'm not as worried as other people are. I know we are in the bottom two at the moment but I just feel that with the quality we've got on the team, we've got enough to put a run together. 

I think we're a lot better than some of the other teams around us, but the table doesn't lie. At the moment, Town are where they deserve to be but they are looking a lot more dangerous. 

They have got goals in the team, I believe, and I think a team that's got goals in it always has a good chance of staying in the league. 

I'm really confident Town can put a run together and pull themselves away from the bottom, but the results have to come.

Harrogate away is not an easy fixture next but we need to go there and get the three points.
