Predicted Shrewsbury Town XI: Will Isaac Lee retain spot after strong debut?

Gavin Cowan opted for just a single change last weekend - here’s our predicted team for Shrewsbury Town’s clash with Fleetwood Town.

That change saw Isaac Lee handed his debut, and the defender made a strong early impression. Operating in the back three, he delivered a calm and assured performance that will only strengthen his case for a continued run in the team over the final weeks of the campaign.

In midfield, Will Gray retained his place for a second successive start and once again impressed, producing a composed and authoritative display that highlighted his growing influence.

Luca Hoole remained sidelined, although Cowan has previously suggested the defender could still feature before the season concludes - possibly even as soon as this weekend.

There was also a positive boost with Tom Sang returning from injury to make an appearance from the bench, adding further depth to Cowan’s options as he continues to assess his squad ahead of the final two fixtures.

With that in mind, here is how we predict Shrewsbury Town could line up against Fleetwood Town...

Predicted teams:

Starting XI (3-4-1-2): Cox; Lee, Boyle, Ruffles; Kabia, Sang, Perry, Berkoe; Morgan, Marquis, Ihionvien.

Subs: Brook, Anderson, Stubbs, Gray, Freeman, Scully, Lloyd.

Fleetwood Town (3-1-4-2): Lynch; Haughey, Bolton, Potter; Neal; Ennis, Bonds, Helm, Clark; Evans, Coughlan.

Big match prediction: Home win
