Squad26 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Shrewsbury Town

Archie Collins and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match24 Apr 2027

Whatever happens, Shrewsbury Town do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Sam Proctor 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.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

The manager makes an example of Dru Yearwood

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

The afternoon belonged to Will Boyle

A mark of 7.40, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

Jacob Shaw: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Ismeal Kabia beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 13. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Lorenz Hutchinson, 19, is the weekend’s best young player

Measured against every other kid in the division and first among them. The senior award is where Shrewsbury Town would like this to lead.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

The plan did not have a place for Amine Karraoui

Nobody at Shrewsbury Town is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Squad18 Jan 2027

The knee: Anthony Jones out for 33 days

33 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Shrewsbury Town lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

$3.2M settles it between the clubs for Jack Diamond

Stockport County have accepted the money. What Shrewsbury Town do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Match16 Jan 2027

No end in sight to Shrewsbury Town's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Shrewsbury Town has to find a result from somewhere.

Market18 Jan 2027

Ricardo Dinanga hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Shrewsbury Town can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

No thanks: Tomoki Iwata rejects the move

Shrewsbury Town had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Birmingham, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad18 Jan 2027

A falling-out at Shrewsbury Town

Archie Collins and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match16 Jan 2027

Shrewsbury Town come up short against Bristol Rovers

Bristol Rovers left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Ismeal Kabia beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Words at Shrewsbury Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Papus Ouattara is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Utrecht have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The armband goes to Tom Anderson

A strip of cloth that decides nothing on the pitch and tells the dressing room whose opinion counts. The manager has made a statement without making one.
