Match Preview
Five-star Shrews look to build on midweek success Shrewsbury boss Graham Turner will find it difficult to make changes for the visit of Stevenage after overseeing the club`s biggest win of the season in midweek. Despite previously triumphing 4-0 twice this season, Shrews hit five for the first time in the league since September 2008 to trounce in-form Lincoln 5-1. Lionel Ainsworth celebrated his recall with a quickfire first-half hat-trick at Sincil Bank and Turner will find it tough to replace him, even with the return of striker James Collins from international duty with the Republic of Ireland`s Under-21s. On-loan goalkeeper Lee Nicholls is also back from England Under-19 duty to challenge Chris Neal for a place on the bench behind current number one Ben Smith. Midfielder David Davis came off at half-time against Lincoln nursing an ankle problem but should be fine to face Boro. Striker Tom Bradshaw has been ruled out for four to six weeks with an ankle ligament injury and is unavailable. Stevenage boss Graham Westley could include Darren Murphy in his squad. The midfielder has made just one appearance this season, a League Cup clash with Portsmouth on August 9, but returned from an ongoing shoulder injury during the reserve team clash with Colchester in midweek and could be involved. Ben May is a doubt with a `minor knock` which is only expected to keep him sidelined for a further few days. Other than that, Westley has a full squad available. Striker Craig Reid, winger Peter Winn and defender Darius Charles will all be hoping for recalls as Boro look to end a run of four games without a win in all competitions.

Match Report
Wroe sinks Stevenage Nicky Wroe marked his home debut with a classy winner as Shrewsbury beat Stevenage 1-0 to boost their promotion hopes. Former Torquay midfielder Wroe, the most influential player on either side, made the breakthrough in the 37th minute. Lionel Ainsworth's shot was blocked but Wroe, breaking into the box, controlled instantly before flicking a measured shot into the far corner of the net. Wroe had earlier gone close with a stinging 20-yard drive which was helped over the bar by goalkeeper Chris Day. Shane Cansdell-Sherriff almost doubled the home side's advantage just after the break when he headed a Jon Taylor free kick against the bar. Stevenage called the tune for much of the last half-hour as they chased an equaliser. Chris Beardsley headed wide from close range before record signing Craig Reid was denied by a fine save from Ben Smith. Shrewsbury grew increasingly edgy as the final whistle moved into view but a strong defensive display in which Cansdell-Sherriff and skipper Ian Sharps excelled just about saw them over the line as they climbed into second spot.
