Match Preview Shrewsbury

Exeter City will be looking to build on Tuesday night's strong point away at play-off chasing Reading, when they host Shrewsbury Town on Saturday.

The Grecians are unbeaten in their last two matches and will be looking to put together a run of points as we look to move up the table.

Shrewsbury Town head to the Park currently sitting bottom of League One. After a tough season they find themselves eight points from safety - they will be fighting for the points on Saturday. Salop head into the match on the back of a 0-0 draw with Bristol Rovers on Tuesday night.

Your passionate support is often the difference maker at the Park and we need you on Saturday as we look to get back to winning ways!

Dan Green's thoughts

First team coach Dan Green has given his thoughts as the Grecians prepare to take on Shrewsbury Town on Saturday, hoping to build on a positive performance away at Reading in midweek. 

"There is huge potential in individuals and as a collective, but we know Shrewsbury will be an incredibly tough game.

"|f you look at Gareth Ainsworth's teams in the past and the job he has started to do there, they are all in for him and that will provide a test for us. There is lots to play for at this point in the season and we are going to look to be at our very best to get maximum points from this game. 

"It's that time of the season where everyone is playing for something. We expect them to be direct and full of energy, and put pressure on us when we have the ball."
