Jordan Shipley's relief at first Shrewsbury goal
Jordan Shipley says it is a ‘relief’ to get his first goal and assist for Shrewsbury Town.
The 24-year-old created Town’s opener and scored their second as Salop won 2-0 at Forest Green Rovers at the weekend.
Shipley was the first of nine additions made by Steve Cotterill in the summer.
He joined on a three-year deal from Coventry, with the club paying a fee for his services.
Until the weekend, other than a goal against Burnley in pre-season, the former Sky Blues man had not made a goal contribution in the league.
The midfielder was delighted with his return on Saturday, and he hopes to get more over the coming weeks.
He said: “It is a bit of a relief to get that first one.
“Hopefully, I can kick on and get a few more.
“I would not say a lot of pressure, but there is an expectation for me and a few others to come here and produce goals, or score goals.
“It was a nice feeling.”
Shipley linked-up well with fellow summer recruit Tom Bayliss, whose involvement for Town’s second was his first assist of the season too.
“It was a good ball by Nursey, and I saw Tom run off the back,” he continued.
“It was a little one-two, we have done that back in the day at Coventry.
“It was a good performance.
“First goal and first assist it has been a while coming.
“Every game I am going into I feel like I am going to get the chance to score.”
