Update - Wood and Reid Miss Cup Tie Selection

Neither Chris Wood or Winston Reid featured for their clubs in mid-week Carling Cup ties. Although both managers played reasonably strong sides, you would have expected that the two young kiwis may have earned selection in match day squads. Both are fringe players at best currently and in Wood's case especially, a loan move appears more and more important if he is to get something out of this season.

Ryan Nelsen returned from injury and had a start in his side's 3-1 loss to Aston Villa. Nelsen was substituted in the 66th minute when the score was 1-1.

One that slipped through the cracks over the weekend was Kris Bright's first league appearance for the Shrews. The young forward was a late substitute in a win over Northampton which returned them to the top of League 2. The Shrews forward combination of Jake Robinson and Matt Harrold have been firing so far this season so Bright may have to bide his time behind the club's big names.

Bright Set for First Shrews Appearance

Kris Bright is set to start his first match of the season for Shrewbury Town in a Reserves fixture at Bury. Bright finished last season well with a good run in the team but has been recovering from off season shoulder surgery and is yet to make an appearance this term. Making an early impression will be important as the Shrews have made a good start and sit top of League 2.
