Bernard McNally column: The old underdog tag could serve Shrewsbury well against Sunderland
Sunderland visit Shrewsbury on Saturday – wow! That’s one heck of a tough game to bounce back in.
Town will really have to dust themselves off and come out fighting.
The Black Cats are a massive club for League One. They should be knocking on the doors of the Premier League.
Somebody told me Town haven’t faced Sunderland in the league since 1988/89, when I played. I can’t remember the score, but if I was speaking to our old right-back Wayne Williams he would tell me who played, when and where it was and who scored!
But the visits of Sunderland and Barnsley are vital games for the Town because John Askey and the team need points.
I know a lot of fans are looking forward to seeing Sunderland. The players will want to be playing in this game. The good thing is they can go from the second half at Fleetwood.
