Matt Taylor delighted with Shrewsbury response after conceding 'horrendous' goal

The boss was not happy with the way his side fell behind after Michael Morrison picked up the ball inside his half, evaded five challenges before slotting passed Marko Marosi.

It was Morrison's first goal for Cambridge for 16 years a terrible way for Shrews to concede.

He said: "He ran through four or five players as a centre-back.

"From his perspective, he won't score a better goal but from our perspective, it is not good enough.

"Someone should have tackled him, you cannot have someone run through from his own half to the edge of your box and pass it in.

"The goal is horrendous from our perspective, fact. We should not concede a goal like that but we did."

At other stages this season Town folded when they have fallen behind but they fought back to score a late goal for the second week running in Cambridge and Taylor is proud of the 'togetherness' Town showed.

He continued: “I’m pleased that for the second game in a row we have scored a goal.

“We made a slight tweak with Taylor Perry popping into an area where we feel he can affect the game.

“He played in a slightly different position today for the majority of the game – as a number four to give us some real control.

“Am I pleased with a point? I’m pleased that we scored a goal so late in the game. I’m pleased that the players showed a togetherness to come back into a game where I felt a point was a fair result.

“But I’m still disappointed because of the goal we conceded. It is outrageous defending to be polite.

“I felt we were better on the ball today. In those real moments when we were being pressed we moved the ball well.

“We took risks. We played out. We stood on the ball when we needed to. I felt we had good control.

“They hit the crossbar in the first half but other than that I don’t think we were hugely threatened.

“We have had opportunities to score and we didn’t. At nil-nil, I was slightly disappointed at half-time because I felt we had good enough opportunities – especially from set-plays.

“Whether that was a long throw or a ball into the box (we looked dangerous.)

“We’ve had to make changes today because of internationals and because of injuries.

“The players that have come in today have played well and performed well and I’m pleased for the group that today they’ve come back into a game and looked really strong in the last five or six minutes.”
