After what they put into the match against Michael Duff's side, they did not deserve to come away empty-handed.
But their lack of sharpness in both boxes was ultimately, what cost Salop in the end, as Josh Koroma's strike nine minutes from time ensured the points went back to west Yorkshire after a 1-0 victory.
Gareth Ainsworth's side came into the game on the back of a 3-2 defeat against Bolton at the weekend, and they needed a result and a performance to bounce back from that.

Salop matched promotion-chasing Huddersfield, who are now fifth in the League One table. The Terriers, who were a Premier League side until 2019, have financial resources that will dwarf Shrewsbury's, but on the night, Ainsworth's men fell to a second consecutive loss.
