Squad

A fracture rules Haydn Lewis out for 34 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Shrewsbury Town will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ismeal Kabia

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tom Anderson 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Josh Nichols

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

No hiding place for Will Boyle

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Will Boyle, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Josh Nichols was the difference for Shrewsbury Town

Marked 7.48. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

Josh Ruffels signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Josh Ruffels commits to Shrewsbury Town for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Shrewsbury Town

Will Brook was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Talks stall between Shrewsbury Town and Will Boyle

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Isaac England falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Will Boyle asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

24 months and counting on Tom Anderson

Still no offer on the table, and Tom Anderson’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
