Player ratings after Shrewsbury Town lost 2-0 at Harrogate on Saturday.

ELYH HARRISON

Good with his hands, but he was so careless in possession of the ball, giving it away and inviting pressure on his team.

Struggled: 5

TOM SANG

Had a difficult first half against the tricky and dangerous Reece Smith for the hosts, and moved into midfield late on.

Off: 5

SAM STUBBS

Went off with an injury shortly after half-time, and then Salop proceeded to hit the self-destruct button. If he is out for a period of time, then they are going to miss him.

Helpless: 6

TOM ANDERSON

Similar to Stubbs, Shrewsbury capitulated when the two senior centre-backs went off.

Injured: 6

WILL BOYLE

The defender wore the captain’s armband for the first time from the start of a league fixture and he should have scored a header. Challenging afternoon.

Disappointing: 5

SAM CLUCAS

A lot of the good things Town did in the first half came down the left. Struggled to have the same impact after the break.

Mixed: 5

TAYLOR PERRY

Booked within a couple of minutes. It was a frustrating afternoon for the Town midfielder who did not have the impact he would have liked.

Struggled: 5

TOMMY MCDERMOTT

He is vital for Salop going forward, but it was not the Burnley loanee's day. It was a scrappy game and he could not get Town on the front foot.

Tough: 5

ISAAC ENGLAND

He came in for John Marquis the Town skipper as Salop bolstered their midfield. He was tidy on the ball.

Tidy: 6

ISMEAL KABIA

He dropped deeper later in the game and got more and more involved. He tried to get Shrews going, but all too often his final ball was not good enough.

Final ball: 6

BRADLEY IHIONVIEN

Quiet day for the Peterborough United loanee, who did not have the same impact he has had since he arrived in Shropshire.

Off: 5

SUBSTITUTES

​Toto Nsiala 3 (Stubbs 50), Luca Hoole 5 (Anderson 60), Chuks Aneke 6 (England 74), George Lloyd 6 (Ihionvien 74), John Marquis 6 (Perry 74).

Not used: Brook, Biggins.
