Video: Matt Maher on Town's battling draw
Reporter Matthew Maher reacts to Shrewsbury's point at Oldham as the wait for a first League One win of the season goes on.
James Collins' third goal of the season in the 70th minute cancelled out Liam Kelly's controversial 52nd-minute penalty.
It came in Micky Mellon's 50th League game in charge and the 50th League meeting between the sides.
It was an even but dull first-half bereft of chances, apart from Jonathan Forte's volley against the bar for the Latics.
It took the arrival of substitutes Jordan Clark, Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro to spark Town.
