Shrewsbury Town player ratings: How Salop fared in derby defeat to Walsall
Shrewsbury Town’s winning streak ended with defeat to Midlands rivals Walsall - here’s our player ratings.
Matt Cox
Couldn’t produce the decisive interventions that defined recent wins and was unable to keep out either goal. A couple of nervy moments under pressure summed up his afternoon.
Beaten: 6
Kevin Berkoe
Offered attacking intent down the right early on and asked questions of the defence, but struggled to influence proceedings consistently and couldn’t help prevent decisive set-piece damage.
Energetic: 6
Luca Hoole
Has been one of Salop’s most reliable performers this season, but his afternoon was cut short after a knock just before half-time halted his growing influence.
Injured: 6
Will Boyle
Endured a difficult battle with Aaron Pressley’s physical presence and couldn’t help quell the set-piece threat. Also headed wide when chances came his way in the box.
Overpowered: 5
