Selection dilemma for Shrews boss

04 February 2011 11:00
Graham Turner has plenty of options ahead of Shrewsbury`s trip to Southend but could well keep faith with the same XI who saw off Burton 3-0 in midweek. Turner added five new faces on deadline day but only midfielder David Davis took part in Tuesday`s emphatic victory over the Brewers - with defender Paul Downing, midfielder Nicky Wroe and goalkeeper Lee Nicholls now expected to come into contention at Roots Hall. Fellow signing Kelvin Lomax is nearing his comeback from ligament trouble and will soon be available for selection. Jermaine Grandison also turned his loan move from Coventry into a permanent deal and, having returned from a slight hamstring injury to face Burton, is again expected to line up this weekend. Winger Jon Taylor marked his full league debut with a brace against Albion and will be difficult to replace, as will the rest of the XI who started at the Greenhous Meadow including recalled striker Matt Harrold. Town have been boosted by the return to full training of striker Nathan Elder this week after nine months out with knee ligament damage, although he now needs to build up his fitness before being considered for first-team action.
