Dave Edwards: Shrewsbury need to take advantage in crunch week

The last week will have given Gareth Ainsworth plenty of time to get more information into his Shrewsbury Town players.

It has been a bit of a perfect scenario off the back of that result against Birmingham City and getting that victory. 

Normally you would like to go straight into another game, but because Ainsworth has only just taken charge of the team and they had a broken week of build-up to that Blues game because of the snow - having a week of work on the training pitch is great. 

It is good from a physical point of view, but also you can get all that tactical information across, and I feel that is really important. 

The players will have had the weekend to rest up and then come into this week refreshed with a few days of preparation for this Blackpool game. 

You look at the table now, and Town are off the bottom, and all the games played are pretty much equal. 

They even have games in hand on a few teams. The situation is a lot clearer. They are five points off Crawley, who are out of the relegation zone, but Shrews have a game in hand.
