Nobody could get near Ismeal Kabia
Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Will Brook in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Shrewsbury Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

3 matches without a goal for Shrewsbury Town
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

This league is too small for Ethan Butera
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Shrewsbury Town will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Still no ink between Shrewsbury Town and Ethan Butera
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Shrewsbury Town, another week without a signature from Ethan Butera.

A long bet from Shrewsbury Town on Ethan Butera
He is 20, and nobody at Shrewsbury Town signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Brian Okonkwo signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Brian Okonkwo commits to Shrewsbury Town for another 4 years.

Will Brook dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Shrewsbury Town and Cheltenham Town cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Cheltenham Town came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
