Shrewsbury Town boss wants to kick on
Shrewsbury Town manager Graham Turner today urged his side not to rest on their laurels after two morale-boosting displays.

Town edged out fellow strugglers Carlisle 2-1 last Saturday to move out of the League One basement zone, a week after they had secured a point from a 2-2 draw at Crawley.
They travel to second-bottom Bury on Friday night seeking their first away win of the campaign, but with Turner warning they are far from being in the throes of a full-blooded revival just yet.
Before the victory over the Cumbrians, Shrewsbury had won just once in nine league outings.
The Town boss said: "We have been embarrassed by the position we found ourselves in and I'm hoping that this is just the start.
"But we have got another big one at Bury who have also been struggling, so we have got to build on this.
"I have felt we were a bit unfortunate not to take the three points at Crawley too, so maybe we had our stroke of luck against Carlisle."
Despite their problems both on and off the pitch, the Shakers have improved under manager Kevin Blackwell.
They have claimed four wins from six during October and November and pushing Crewe close before losing to a late goal at Gresty Road at the weekend.
Turner said: "On paper, these seem to be easier than games against Sheffield United and Milton Keynes Dons, but they can be the most difficult ones.
"Bury are fighting for their lives. They have a cup tie tonight against Preston in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
"They have had a difficult programme and they've got one or two financial difficulties after having a transfer embargo placed on them.
"But we will have to be right at our best to get the points."
Meanwhile, Town midfielders Aaron Wildig and Asa Hall have a chance to stake a claim for a regular place now that Luke Summerfield is facing surgery to cure his hernia problem.
Former Cardiff City youngster Wildig got the vote against Carlisle and Turner explained: "Aaron had looked a bit sharper in training, but neither of them have had an awful lot of football in recent weeks.
"But Aaron has looked the better of the two, which is why he got the chance."
