Shrewsbury Town: Player ratings after goalless draw at Wycombe

Jamal Blackman

A couple of excellent saves over the course of the 90 minutes, and several vital claims to take the pressure off his side. 

Decent: 7

David Wheeler 

Returned to Adams Park and was thrust into the starting XI at right wing-back. He wasn’t able to get forward too much, but he gave it his all. 

OK: 6

Morgan Feeney 

Brilliant first-half block to deny Kone, and there was another one after the break of equal importance. He was very good on his return to the team. 

Good: 7

Josh Feeney 

Played on the left side of the back three, and showed a couple of decent moments on the ball. He won countless headers from balls that went into the box. 

Top drawer: 7

Aaron Pierre 

It was a tough afternoon for everyone at St Andrew’s with Salop conceding four goals, but they defended bravely here - as did Pierre.  

Brave: 7

Mal Benning 

Difficult evening for Benning at left wing-back. He was lucky to still be on the pitch after receiving a booking in the first period and committing more fouls thereafter. 

Lucky: 5

Funso Ojo 

The midfielder was not in the squad at Blues, but he was excellent in the first half, especially with the work he did in possession. 

Steady: 6

Alex Gilliead

You know when Gilliead is playing well as he goes on those marauding forward runs - there was a couple of those in the first period. As Town retreated after the break, so did he. 

Direct: 6

John Marquis 

He started the evening in a deeper number 10 role until the injury to Oliver, then moved up front. Held the ball up well and won important free-kicks. 

Important: 6

Vadaine Oliver 

A frustrating evening for Oliver, who picked up an ankle injury in the opening 20 minutes and was forced off. 

Injured: n/a

George Lloyd

He was the Town man who went close in the first half with a couple of sights at goal, but he was left isolated after the interval. 

Isolated: 6

Substitutes 

Jordan Shipley 6 (Oliver 18), Taylor Perry (Gilliead 73), Dom Gape (Ojo 73), Luca Hoole (Wheeler 86).

Not used: Young, Nurse, Stewart.
