Player ratings as Shrewsbury Town fall short in South London
Our player ratings as Shrewsbury Town were beaten at Bromley
Shrewsbury Town missed the chance to officially retain their EFL status with a narrow defeat at league leaders Bromley - here are our player ratings.
Matt Cox
Back on home soil, commanded his area confidently and produced several fine saves. Unlucky to be beaten by a heavy deflection for the decisive goal.
Assured, 7
Sam Stubbs
Made some important clearances under pressure. Battled well physically, though Bromley’s strength from set pieces ultimately proved difficult to contain.
Committed, 6
Tom Anderson
Marked his return with an excellent early clearance to assist the opener. Unfortunately, a cruel deflection off him led to Bromley’s winning goal.
Unlucky, 7
Josh Ruffels
Faced sustained pressure down his flank but competed well, winning duels and tackles. Worked tirelessly defensively, though unable to prevent Bromley’s decisive moments.
Battled, 6
Ismeal Kabia
Showed flashes going forward and delivered a good ball for Morgan’s chance. Contributed to attacking moves but struggled to consistently trouble Bromley’s defence.
Tried, 6
Nick Freeman
Helped to relieve pressure with intelligent movement. However, lacked decisive influence and was withdrawn midway through the second half.
Subbed, 6
Temple Ojinnaka
Struggled to impose himself on the game as it passed him by in midfield. Largely ineffective, though not entirely at fault in difficult circumstances.
Quiet, 6
Kevin Berkoe
Had to deal with constant pressure from Bromley’s right side and numerous crosses. Offered some forward support but couldn’t help sustain early attacking momentum.
Tested, 6
Iwan Morgan
Bright start with sharp movement and attacking intent, seeing efforts denied. Influence faded as the game progressed and opportunities became more limited.
Faded, 6
John Marquis
Worked hard and had the ball in the net, only to be ruled offside. Unfortunate mis-clearance contributed to Bromley’s winner on a difficult night.
Unfortunate, 6
Bradley Ihionvien
Produced a moment of real quality with a brilliant solo goal, sparking the away end. A constant threat early on before fading as Bromley took control.
Scored, 8
