Shrewsbury Town's Mike Jackson hails Dominic Iorfa's performance

Iorfa, who arrived on a month's loan from Wolves in mid-March, was one of several star performers as Town claimed a desperately-needed three points to lift them off the foot of the League One table.

The 18-year-old, who was making just his third Football League appearance, defended valiantly and also created Jon Taylor's 56th-minute winner.

And Jackson, who was delighted with his team's overall display, said: "There have been some unbelievable performances, like Young Dom at right-back.

"People question 'why did you bring him in?' but I hope that answers a few people.

"I thought he was excellent. He's a young lad who plays with no fear. The way I judge young players is their temperament.

"When they go out there does it phase them? And I don't think it has with him from what I have seen so far. So credit to him but also to the whole team."

Jackson was also keen to praise his hard-working front two of Tom Eaves and Bahrudin Atajic following their promising showings in attack.

Both men were among five players – along with Taylor, Paul Parry and goalkeeper Chris Weale –brought into the starting XI this weekend.

And Jackson said: "I thought they came up trumps. I was happy with Atajic's contribution.

"The ball sticks to him, it allows you to get up the pitch and he has that calmness with the ball."

Regarding Eaves, who has endured some frustrating displays during his second loan spell at Town from Bolton, Jackson added that he was particularly pleased with the player's response to a pre-match grilling.

Jackson said: "I thought it was time to rattle his cage a little bit after training and the lad has gone out and done well."
