Their form in recent times has improved drastically since Gareth Ainsworth's arrival, which has seen them take 12 points from the 10 matches since he took over in Shropshire.
They head to Charlton this weekend to take on Nathan Jones' team, who are underperforming under the ex-Premier League boss.

The Valley has been home to mixed success for Shrewsbury in recent years. In the 2022/23 campaign, they had a disastrous afternoon under Steve Cotterill as they were hammered 6-0.

Salop were walking wounded at the end of the derby victory over Wrexham last week. Aaron Pierre went off with a hamstring problem during the interval, while Alex Gilliead and Morgan Feeney hobbled off too.
