Team News From The Shrewsbury Camp

Last updated : 04 October 2013 By Thetashkentterror

Midfielder Luke Summerfield spoke to his club's official website ahead of his side's League One match against Carlisle at the Greenhous Meadow Stadium tomorrow afternoon, Summerfield hoping for victories against the Blues and then Gillingham:

"Every game is winnable in this league and these two home games coming up are no different. We've played well, especially in the first half against Wolves, and if we carry that into the next two games we should have no problem getting the wins. It was tough losing last weekend, it was more or less the last kick of the game and we were bitterly disappointed, but we've got another game to look forward to on Saturday.

“We are in the results business though, we have played well in bits and pieces and haven’t got any just rewards for our play. We want to pass the ball but we need to get results whatever way they come, if we win or ugly or if we win nice the three points is what we play for on a Saturday and hopefully we can start off getting those this weekend, and we have got enough quality here to do that and to score goals.

“Tom Bradshaw has scored a few goals and done well for us. Hopefully he can carry on scoring goals, but it's not just down to the centre forwards to score goals. We need as a whole unit, as a squad, to chip in with goals. I think I have missed a few chances myself to be fair, I am due a goal, I am not renowned for scoring and I want to influence it in other ways but I would love to get one just to get me going.”

 

 

It’s muddled team news for the home side tomorrow, although we can start with three definite absentees as young strikers Graham Burke and Curtis Main have this week returned to Aston Villa and Middlesbrough respectively following recent loan spells at the Greenhous Meadow Stadium. While centre-half Dave Winfield sits out a one-match suspension following a two yellow card sending off at Bradford City last weekend.

We then move on to two players who are available but are short of match fitness as they make their return from spells on the sidelines through injury. Centre-half Tamika Mkandawire (hamstring) and striker John Marsden (broken foot) playing in a reserve game defeat against Wigan in midweek, but during that game midfielder Dave McAllister took a knock to the knee and will therefore need to be assessed before the United match.

Wideman Paul Parry meanwhile didn’t play in that second-string game but after missing the last two Town games with a hip problem he is now back available for selection. Finally comes fellow midfielder Jon Taylor who returns to the fold having missed last weekend’s 2-1 defeat at the Coral Valley Stadium because of a one-match ban.

 

 

The referee for tomorrow's match is Andy Madley from Ossett in West Yorkshire and he will be assisted down the lines by John Law from Worcester and Steven Plane from Pershore, also in Worcestershire. Meanwhile the fourth official is Danny Gratton from Stone in Staffordshire. One job for Mr Madley to conduct before kick-off being the holding of a minute’s silence in memory of former player Peter Broadbent, who died aged 80 earlier this week.
