Shrewsbury Town 1 Derby County 0 - player ratings

To beat a team with the quality of Derby, you will always need your keeper to perform. He made a string of excellent saves.

Sublime 9

Tom FLanagan

He was excellent on the right side of the Town back three. Once again, he won so many battles and used the ball well when he needed to.

Terrific 8

Chey Dunkley

The game got scrappy towards the end and they needed their skipper to head away the countless balls that went into the box.

Committed 8

Jason Sraha

A couple of scary moments but in general it was the second excellent display in two weeks from Sraha who has slotted into the role on the left of the back three.

Unfazed 8

Brandon Fleming

He took a knock in the second half and had to be withdrawn but continued his excellent performances.

Good 7

Carl Winchester

Running out of words to describe Winchester’s performances in a Town shirt – he gets better and better each week. Played a huge role in making the goal.

Superb 8

Nohan Kenneh

Came back from international duty late in the week having played a full 90 minutes and was integral to the team in the middle of the park.

Battling 8

Taylor Perry

Superb again, he continues to go from strength to strength. He could have scored a second late on after showing great composure to get a shot away.

Silky 8

Tom Bayliss

Missed a penalty in the first half but Bayliss was terrific in midfield, he carried the ball well, created chances and played a vital role in the all-important winner.

Excellent 8

Dan Udoh

Toiled away up front. He looked as if he had scored just after half-time when he turned and shot but Joe Wildsmith produced a wonderful save to deny him.

Unlucky 7

Max Mata

Still searching for his first goal in a Shrewsbury shirt, but even without scoring, he is making himself a nuisance up front.

Close 7
