The Shrews boss last week pointed to the forthcoming four games and insisted they will play a big part in shaping his side's destiny come May, with the battle for automatic promotion and the play-offs hotting up.[LNB]Simpson saw his fifth-placed charges clear the first hurdle with victory over local rivals Hereford on Saturday, and he is now preparing for Friday's trip to third-placed Bury before games against fourth-placed Rotherham next Monday and second-placed Bournemouth on the Saturday.[LNB]"We can't ask anymore from the players having got nine points from three games," he explained. "I've now said to them we've got a really important eight days, starting on Friday, in which we have to be totally professional. There's no point celebrating the fact we've got nine points.[LNB]"We'll enjoy it and it makes training much easier this week but you are always preparing for the next game until the last game of the season decides what is going to happen.[LNB]"We've got a big game at Bury and we have to make sure we are professional about everything we do between now and then and don't think we have made it as we are a long way from achieving anything."[LNB][LNB]
