Tom Sang urges Shrewsbury Town to finish with a flourish at the Meadow

Sang issued a call to his Salop team-mates ahead of their final home game of the season against Fleetwood Town tomorrow.

Tom Sang says it would be “extra special” for Shrewsbury Town to sign off their season at home in style.

Town are targeting a strong finish to the campaign at the Croud Meadow, where they welcome Fleetwood Town tomorrow, looking to extend their unbeaten run to three games.

While Shrewsbury have secured safety, with 19th the lowest they can finish, there is still a chance Gavin Cowan’s side could climb to 16th with a strong end to the season.

After a remarkable revival in recent months to climb the standings, midfielder Tom Sang has urged his team-mates to keep their foot on the gas and finish with a flourish.

He said: “That's always what you want, isn't it? You want three points regardless.

“But it would be extra special to do it at the last game of the season at home, for all the support over the season.

“We just need to stick to our process and just stick to what we've been doing. I think all the lads know it now, so it's important we just carry on doing it.”

Fleetwood have matched Town’s past two results, with a win and a draw. Despite securing their Football League status, Cowan’s side defended resiliently to earn a point with a goalless draw at Crawley Town last weekend.

Salop had a golden second-half chance to win the game but had to settle for a point. It marked their sixth clean sheet under Cowan in just 17 games in charge.

Asked if he hoped Salop could offer more going forward, Sang added: “You always want to score goals, don't you?

“I can't say we should have won the game with our chances because they had their own as well, to be fair.

“We just defended really well. Just a little bit cleaner in the final third from us and we'll get more in the back of the net.”

Town were backed by a strong away following and took time to acknowledge the travelling supporters after the full-time whistle last weekend.

Under Cowan - who has led Salop away from danger after what Sang described as a “brutal” start to the campaign - attendances have risen at the Meadow.

Sang hailed the fantastic support, saying: “It's class. That's another reason, part of it, why we're going to turn up and give everything.

“It's unbelievable support - it's been like that all season, to be fair.”
