His side staged a remarkable stoppage time comeback to beat bottom-of-the-table Reading 3-2 at the Croud Meadow.

Shrews had trailed 2-0 after the first 15 minutes when they conceded two poor goals courtesy of former player Sam Smith and Dom Ballard.

Tom Bayliss got one back in the first half before Chey Dunkley and Jason Sraha scored in five minutes of added-on at the end of the game.

It was a massive turnaround, but the Town boss said he could not brush his side's start to game under the carpet.

"I can talk about the first 15 minutes, which was unacceptable," Taylor said.

"Great the emotion, great we won the game, but people have got jobs to do and they did not do them.
