Almost 900 loyal Salop supporters travelled to Salford last weekend only to see their side bow out of the FA Cup in the first round proper after a 2-1 defeat. 

A big number of loyal fans will be making the journey to Staffordshire for a lunchtime kick-off in front of the Sky TV cameras this weekend. 

The game offers an opportunity for those Shrewsbury players who have found themselves out of favour in recent times under former boss Paul Hurst - a chance for a fresh start. 

One of those is Taylor Perry. He did OK for large parts of last season, and has not let the team down when he has played this campaign, yet he found opportunities hard to come by under Hurst. 

With the former boss' departure it offers players like Perry the chance to reignite their Shrewsbury careers.
