Shrewsbury Town player ratings after another testing afternoon on the road

Here’s our player ratings from another difficult afternoon on the road for Salop…

Will Brook

Held onto the ball too long before conceding a corner from which Fleetwood took the lead. Costly error and helpless for the second.

Costly: 5

Luca Hoole

Deployed on the left side of the defence and endured a difficult afternoon, beaten too easily for Fleetwood’s second goal.

Struggled: 5

Will Boyle

Made several important interventions and battled hard, but was beaten as Fleetwood opened the scoring. Another testing afternoon for the skipper.

Battled: 6

Sam Stubbs

Straight back into the side following concussion and showed composure early on. Got stuck into the contest and was one of Town’s better performers.

Assured: 7

Arkell Jude-Boyd

Grew into the contest and posed more of a threat after the interval, advancing well but lacking the final quality in dangerous areas.

Ran: 5

Tom Sang

Worked hard and produced some good tackles and passes during the first half, but too much possession ultimately came without meaningful end product.

Passed: 5

Will Gray

Battled hard in midfield and never shirked a challenge, but endured some difficult moments and struggled to help Town penetrate Fleetwood’s defence.

Honest: 5

Kevin Berkoe

Made some promising inroads down the left and offered an outlet, but Town lacked end product, with a late wayward cross summing up his frustration.

Frustrating: 5

Kian McMahon-Brown

Showed some encouraging touches and gave Town greater attacking impetus, but his only sight of goal was curled over the crossbar.

Promise: 6

Josh Davison

Worked tirelessly for the team but was starved of clear opportunities. When chances did arrive, he could not provide the finishing touch Town needed.

Frustrated: 5

George Lloyd

His work rate was unquestionable and he produced a brilliant header to find Davison, but was otherwise isolated and offered little threat.

Isolated: 5

Subs: Joe Gbode (for Davison, 65): 5, Turner-Cooke (for Gray, 73): N/A, Isaac Fletcher (for Lloyd, 83): N/A, Lino Sousa (for Berkoe, 83): N/A, Michael Golding (for Sang, 83): N/A.

Not used: Proctor, Lee.
