Salop are in dismal form in the league after taking just eight points from their opening 14 games of the campaign.
So cup action offers them some welcome relief from the weekly grind.
This competition is incredibly important for Shrewsbury. The club announced losses of £3 million in the first part of this year.
The prize money for getting through to the next round of the competition is £45,000. If they can win in the second round they will receive £75,000 - an eye-watering amount.
So a defeat damages Shrewsbury twofold. The loss of important income to help get the club back on a sustainable footing.
But also the fact they have regressed so much in the last few years that they would be struggling to compete with a mid-table League Two side.
