- 15' Saxon Earley is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Shrewsbury Town FC tonight.
- 17' The referee has no hesitation. Sam Cosgrove is booked for Plymouth Argyle FC — Yellow card on 17.
- 22' Supporters expect more eagerness from Robert Street, as he is very good at scoring at Montgomery Waters Meadow with 4 goals in the last 4 games.
- 27' Shrewsbury Town FC have won 385 goals from 329 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
