Dominic Iorfa up for Shrewsbury Town battle

Iorfa's performance was one of the few positives to emerge from last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Walsall.

The on loan Wolves defender was handed a place in the starting XI in the absence of the injured Jermaine Grandison and hopes to have done enough to keep his place for Saturday's crunch home clash against fellow strugglers Stevenage.

Iorfa said: "I've just got to do well in training and hopefully come next weekend I'll be playing again.

"It was my first 90 minutes playing at this standard. I thought I did well so I was pleased with my performance."

Iorfa knows it's vital Town quickly bounce back from their Banks's Stadium defeat as they get ready for a crucial run of games.

The Stevenage clash is followed by equally important matches against relegation rivals Tranmere and Crewe.

Iorfa added: "We all know what to do. We've just got to go and win the games. It's been like that for a while now and we've just got to do it.

"Everyone's just determined to do better next game. Everyone's just looking ahead to the next game just to put it right."

Manager Mike Jackson had no hesitation in turning to Iorfa whose only previous taste of first team football was a late run out as a substitute in the recent 1-0 defeat at Colchester.

Jackson said: "For his debut, I thought he did really well. You can see how quick he is and rangy so that's one really pleasing thing to come out of it.

"Credit to him. I was made up with him, one good point to come out of the game."

Meanwhile, boss Jackson steps into the spotlight when he holds a question and answer session with Town supporters at the Greenhous Meadow tonight (7 for 7.30pm). Admission is free.

Town's reserves face Walsall at Chasetown FC in the Final Third Development League today (2pm).
