Stewart Drummond levelled for the home side after Joss Labadie had put the Shrews in the lead. It is the seventh draw for McIlroy's side in their last eight matches. The Shrimps are languishing just above the drop zone, but McIlroy believes their performance shows they can pull themselves away from danger. McIlroy said: "We were poor at the start and I have to praise the lads for the way they came back into the game after going behind. "In a way I'm happy that we haven't lost and shown more good resolve against one of the league's top teams, but we've played 11 games now and won only one and we wanted better than that. "We need to get a couple of wins to take us away from the foot of the table and I think we have deserved more points, but if we continue to work as hard as we are doing I'm sure they will come."
