Shrewsbury Town player ratings after improved display against Reading
Shrewsbury lost again on Tuesday night at home to Reading this time - here are the player ratings after the 26th defeat of the season.
Jamal Blackman
The keeper will not want to see the first goal back in a hurry after he was beaten far too easily. The third was not pretty either.
Costly: 4
Luca Hoole
It was a really bright 67 minutes for the Shrewsbury wing-back who was recalled to the Town team. He got forward and offered a threat in the final third.
Threat: 7
Morgan Feeney
The defender did OK in the match but could not stop Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan for the second goal. He got past the Shrews defence far too easily.
Tough moment: 6
Josh Feeney
He sprayed the ball around nicely in the first half, and he certainly fits the ball-playing centre-back mould. He did OK on another tough night.
Challenge: 6
Aaron Pierre
He offered a threat in the opposition’s box from set pieces and almost bagged a couple of goals. On the whole, he won’t be too displeased with his evening’s work.
Committed: 7
George Nurse
Bit of a headscratcher we have not seen him play more in the left wing-back role over the course of the season. He was good in this one.
Promising: 7
Alex Gilliead
Man of the match. He backed up a decent display on Saturday with another good performance in the centre of midfield. He carries the ball so well.
Best on show: 8
Funso Ojo
Did OK in midfield, a couple of scary moments on the ball, but he keeps the ball ticking over in the centre of the park.
Busy: 6
Taylor Perry
Puts himself about and adds plenty of energy to the Salop team - arguably unlucky to have been out of the side. Took his goal well and could have had a couple more.
Steady: 7
George Lloyd
Had a couple of opportunities to score but could not hit the target. Toiled away as he always does, but could do with a goal.
Toiled: 6
John Marquis
No shortage of effort from Marquis, who kept going until the end. He could have had a couple of goals, but it was not his night.
Tried: 6
Substitutes: David Wheeler 5 (Hoole 67), Mal Benning 5 (Nurse 67), Dom Gape 6 (Ojo 67), Jordan Shipley 5 (Perry 74), Callum Stewart n/a (Lloyd 88)
Not used: Young, Nsiala.
