Goal Log
14th min. - 0-1 - Rowley tucked a neat shot to give the Saddlers a deserved lead
21st min. - 1-1 - James Caton punished hesitation between Smith and Atkinson to put the home side level
88th min. - 2-1 - After Preston conceded a free-kick for hand-ball right on the edge of the penalty-area, Darren McKnight stepped to snatch the win by slamming the ball into the roof of the net with MacGillivray helpless.

During the first half, we totally dominated and played some lovely football but rarely threatened the Shrewsbury goal (sound familiar? - good to know that the club's DNA runs through the club!). The Sloppies came back well in the second half and probably slightly shaded the play after the interval.

[Exile]

Thanks, Bob. Does our DNA extend to uniform shortness or do we have some tall players coming through?

[Pedagogue]

MacGillivray, Preston, Rowley and Bakayoko are all quite tall. In fact, Jordan Murphy is the only one on the short side.
