Match Preview
Shrews wait on Harrold Shrewsbury are hoping Matt Harrold again declares himself fit to face promotion contenders and local rivals Port Vale. The striker has been struggling with tonsilitis but stressed his determination to start Saturday`s 3-2 victory at Northampton, only to be forced off at half-time feeling exhausted. But Harrold is feeling better than he did going into the Sixfields clash and will be assessed prior to kick-off. Defender Shane Cansdell-Sherriff missed training on Monday with a dead leg but manager Graham Turner expects him to be okay, but midfielder Sean McAllister again sits out of the clash as he recovers from his hernia operation. Ironically, Turner was a player for Shrews the last time the Shropshire club tasted league success over Vale way back in 1978. Gary Roberts returns from suspension while fellow midfielder Louis Dodds is also pushing to start. Roberts, who picked up a red card while playing for the club`s reserves, completed his three-match suspension with the passing of Saturday`s 2-1 victory over struggling Macclesfield. He now comes back into Jim Gannon`s thinking alongside Dodds, who came off the bench to score a stunning goal which ultimately proved the difference against the Silkmen. Goalkeeper Stuart Tomlinson looks set to have to make do with a place on the bench. Centre-back Gareth Owen (ankle) continues to work his way back to full fitness but is not expected to be involved at the Greenhous Meadow as sixth meets fifth in League Two.

Match Report
Shrews and Vale share point apiece Promotion hopefuls Shrewsbury and Port Vale lost more ground on the top three after a feisty 2-2 draw at the Greenhous Meadow. Marc Richards kept his cool to rescue a point for Vale when he converted a penalty seven minutes from time after Mat Sadler had brought down Tom Pope. The game burst into life with two goals inside a minute either side of the half-hour mark. Vale struck first when Kris Taylor's free-kick from the right was headed home from six yards by captain Richards. But Shrewsbury hit back immediately with Lionel Ainsworth firing a low shot into the bottom corner from the left-hand side of the penalty area. Town had earlier narrowly missed out on a flying start when a thunderous 25-yard drive from midfielder David Davis rattled the woodwork. Yet Graham Turner's men took the lead in the 72nd minute when James Collins raced onto Mark Wright's measured pass to fire a 15-yard shot between keeper Chris Martin and his near post. But Vale hit back though Richards` late spot-kick and hung on for a point thanks to a fine fingertip save from Martin to deny Davis deep into stoppage time.
