Shrewsbury Town boss issues warning to players
Shrewsbury Town boss Paul Hurst wants his players to be hurting after recent results but insists they must not feel sorry for themselves.
Salop have taken four points from the 27 they have had available so far this season – they sit second bottom of the table – and they are already four points adrift of 20th-placed Leyton Orient.
As ever in League One, after a disappointing defeat to Stockport on Tuesday, where they were comfortably beaten 2-0, they have an immediate chance to put that right when they make the trip to Bolton at the weekend.
“I have said before there is no point sulking,” the Town boss said.
“Be down, be disappointed of course, but ultimately sulking will not solve anything.
“It is working it is recovery. The lads who have not had the minutes on Tuesday will have some training, but I have already started thinking towards Bolton.
“Again, they scored four on Tuesday night and they changed their front two that had been starting.
“So it is another tough game ahead.”
Meanwhile, Shrewsbury have announced their league games against Birmingham City and Wrexham have changed kick-off times due to police advice.
The initial time of Blues’ visit to the Croud Meadow on November 23 was 3pm, but that has now moved to a 12.30pm kick-off.
The same is now the case for the derby between Town and Wrexham on January 18.
