Connor Goldson wants Shrewsbury to kick on

Town produced the shock of the New Year's Day League One programme when they humbled in-form Coventry 1-0 to register their first away win of the season.

Their recent revival has seen them double their points tally to 28 by winning three and drawing five of their last nine games, moving seven points clear of the relegation zone.

Their forthcoming double-header against the division's bottom two clubs, Scunthorpe and Hartlepool, would suggest Graham Turner's men are capable of marching into mid-table.

But Goldson, who helped mount the impressive defensive action against the Sky Blues, insists they must not be swept along with the euphoria of Tuesday's win.

He said: "We don't want to come from a great place like Coventry and got to, no disrespect to Scunthorpe, a lower team and drop points.

"We need to keep the run we're on going as much as we can. We turned a draw at Coventry into a win and, if we keep on doing that, we will fly up the table.

"Coventry have probably got the best forwards in this league when you look at the likes of David McGoldrick, who has scored 17 this season.

"We gave let goals slip past us in the last minute but we defended really well and kept a clean sheet, which is a good base to build on.

"We have had some good results, but we have also got a few young players on the bench at the moment. If the squad needs strengthening, then I am sure the manager will do that."

Having completed the loan signing of Charlton defender Yado Mambo within hours of the transfer window opening on Tuesday, boss Turner has his eyes fixed on two more targets.

Turner is due to check on Cameron Gayle's availability with West Brom, as his loan was due to expire today.

Gayle, 20, who missed the trip to Coventry with illness, wants to extend his stay after making five appearances.
