Shrewsbury Town 1 Cambridge 2 - Player Ratings
Ollie Westbury gives his player ratings following defeat to Cambridge.
MARKO MAROSI
The Town number one parried away a dangerous header in the opening exchanges, but could do nothing about either goal, and aside from that he was not tested.
Bystander 6
MORGAN FEENEY
He did not look as comfortable as he did against Northampton with the tricky Sullay Kaikai causing him problems. Both of Cambridge’s goals came down his side.
Uncomfortable 5
CHEY DUNKLEY
Would be disappointed with the way his side conceded two sloppy goals at two poor times. Salop caught out twice and it cost them.
OK 6
AARON PIERRE
A tough afternoon for Pierre. He looked a touch exposed against a pacey and tricky forward line.
Tough day 5
MAL BENNING
Steady performance again from the left-back, who got forward really well at times and linked up well with Bayliss. Final ball needs improvement, but he has been good in recent weeks.
Steady 6
CARL WINCHESTER
A wonderful crossfield ball to Jordan Shipley helped create Town’s opener. In general he looked good on the ball and kept it ticking over in the middle of the park.
Excellent 7
TOM BAYLISS
A few careless touches when not under any pressure, but he wanted the ball and he tried to make things happen it – just wasn’t his day.
Tried 6
TAYLOR PERRY
He was busy in the first half of the game and he linked up well with Bloxham on the right.
Busy 6
JORDAN SHIPLEY
Wonderful cross for Udoh’s opener, and was heavily involved in the game – he just could not quite find the final ball to create an equaliser.
Frustrated 6
TOM BLOXHAM
Looked dangerous on the Town right, but will be disappointed to be sent off as he will now miss the game against Derby next week.
Costly 6
DAN UDOH
It was two in two for Udoh as he scored again. His general performance was excellent, with the forward looking really sharp.
Good 7
SUBSTITUTES
Jack Hinchy 6 (for Perry, 67), Aiden O’Brien 6 (for Feeney, 77), Roland Idowu (for Bayliss, 90). Subs not used: Burgoyne, Sraha, Bowman, Bennett.
