    Shrewsbury are playing at home to Bradford today. Bradford are doing well in the league and have had several good unbeaten runs this season. They gave also won their last two game and drawn a few before it.

    Town have been slightly unlucky with referees decisions recently and Toto had his recent red card overturned. What might've happened in the Swindon game is left to the imagination.

    Injury wise Town have Jack Grimmer, Olly Lancashire and AJ Leitch-Smith out of contention. However as mentioned Toto Nsiala is available.

    Bradford have their winger Filipe Morais injured and Billy Clarke is hopefully unlikely to be fit. Their striker James Hanson is also a doubt.

    With Clarke being a thorn in towns side we might be lucky today and get a good result out of this game.

    It's going to be cold but the pitch reported to be fine.

    Floreat Salopia.

    The best performance I have seen from Town this season. I thought two of the new players (Nsiala and Ladapo) were outstanding. We defended with discipline and great effort and Ogogo was everywhere. Considering results elsewhere it was a vital win and it fills me with optimism that we will be able to stay up and let Hurst bring in more of his own players in the summer. Looking forward to a real six-pointer on Saturday.

    Yep really impressive start by all three new players. Rodman did some quite impressive work in midfield and snatched a few good tackles as well as taking the ball forward. Nsiala was solid in defense and can only remember one miatake, but brings much needed height and good strength. Ladapo was strong and tricky up front and did a great job of holding the ball up and distributing it to others.

    Feeling optimistic.
