Shrewsbury 0 Wigan 3 - Player Ratings
Lewis Cox gives his player ratings following the defeat to Wigan.
Marko Marosi
Made one decent early save before beaten at his near post by deflection and across goal from a free-kick. Missed out on setting a League One clean sheet record for Town.
Missed record 6
Matthew Pennington
Started the game particularly well with some excellent headers but was powerless as Wigan got into their stride.
Powerless 6
Tom Flanagan
Tried to lead the Town backline and did OK early on. Was frustrated with the ball later on.
Frustrated 6
Aaron Pierre
A first start in almost three months was a surprise. Pierre caught the eye and did well at times on what’s likely a farewell display.
Farewell 7
Josh Daniels
Another possibly making his final Town appearance, he worked typically hard all game and was a threat. Could’ve had a couple of assists.
Threat 7
Tyrese Fornah
The midfielder’s loan from Nottingham Forest came to an end in frustrating style. Rightly annoyed with controversial free-kick conceded for opener.
Annoyed 6
Luke Leahy
A return to midfield. Used the ball well in the early stages but was unable to help Town get any foothold later.
Switch 6
Josh Vela
A possible final Town outing marked with an unlucky own goal. Town missed his drive to push them on when needed.
No drive 6
George Nurse
A 23rd birthday to forget with mistakes for all goals pointed out by the manager. Poor end to good season.
Errors 5
Ryan Bowman
Wouldn’t stick for the striker on a difficult afternoon. Toiled away but didn’t get a chance or moment drop his way in the box.
Toiled 6
Daniel Udoh
A couple of bright early moments including a decent strike but really should have made it 17 goals for the season when he squandered a late consolation chance.
Spurned 6
Substitutes
Shaun Whalley (for Nurse, 86); The Town icon looks set to bow out of the club after seven years of memorable service. He received a deserved standing ovation in cameo. Felt like a farewell n/a. Tom Bloxham (for Udoh, 88). Saikou Janneh (for Bowman, 90+2). Subs not used: Burgoyne, Craig, Barlow, Caton.
