RESULT: Shrewsbury Town 2 Swindon Town 0

 

Shrewsbury scorers: Reach 9, Bradshaw 85

 

Mark Cooper refused to panic after defensive errors cost Town dear.

 

Lacklustre Swindon were punished twice when they lost poccession in key areas, the first inside ten minutes when Adam Reach robbed Grant Hall on the half-way line before running through to finish.

 

The second when Tom Bradshaw bullied Nathan Byrne off the ball inside the box and shot low past Foderingham with five minutes to go.

 

"We were well beaten today and sometimes when it's not going to be your day in terms of football, you have to learn to grind things out and roll your sleeves up. We lost too many personal battles today," the Town caretaker manager said.

"We're not going to panic we'll stick to what we believe in. Shrewsbury's strikers were a handful today but we didn't carry much of a threat. We've got to look at the DVD and work out what went wrong."

 

Controversial new signing Nile Ranger made his debut as a 72nd subsititute.
