Video: Highlights of Town 1 Chesterfield 2
Watch the match highlights as Shrewsbury Town rally late on but fail to avoid defeat against visiting Chesterfield on home turf.
For so long Town were second best, as they trailed to goals from Sylvan Ebanks-Blake five minutes after the restart then Sam Hird on 64.
They halved the deficit through Mat Sadler's delightful curling shot with two minutes to go.
But that spectacular goal - their only on-target effort of a game in which they failed to force a corner - failed to mask a decidedly below-par performance last night.
Apart from milky shadow boxing in the opening 25 minutes, Town were well beaten throughout to a more determined and ruthless outfit.
Playing without penetration and creating so few chances, Micky Mellon's side look like waiting longer before that first League One win arrives.
