Chris Porter aims to fire Shrewsbury Town away from the drop
Chris Porter today declared his intention to fire Shrewsbury away from relegation trouble.
The Sheffield United frontman made a goalscoring debut at Tranmere in last Friday's televised clash.
And the 29-year-old, who is on loan at the Greenhous Meadow for a month, says he was impressed with the manner in which his new team-mates dominated the game after Rovers were reduced to 10 men following Liam Palmer's early red card.
Porter piled on the misery for the former leaders when he punished a mistake by keeper Owain Fon Williams.
"Even though Tranmere went down to 10 men, I thought we passed it really well," he said.
"We kept possession and got Tranmere tired. We created some good chances in the second half and we should probably have scored a couple more.
"I was impressed by the team. I've played in all different levels – League Two, League One, SPL and Championship – and to be honest it's hard every division you are in. But League One is a great division to be in.
"I'm here for a month at the moment, but I'm looking to help Shrewsbury. I'll give 100 per cent in every game and I'll be looking to score some more goals."
The former Oldham and Derby striker's second season with the Blades has been disrupted by injuries.
He suffered a patella (kneecap) problem which hampered his pre-season preparations and then a persistent thigh strain ruled him out for five weeks over December and January.
After returning to the starting XI in defeats at the hands of Reading in the FA Cup and then Coventry in the league, the arrivals of strikers Jonathan Forte and Dominic Poleon had left him down the pecking order at Bramall Lane.
"At the start of the season I was injured and I had an injury which kept me out for five weeks not that long ago. I've been a bit in and out this season, so I'm hoping to get a good run of games at Shrewsbury," added Porter.
