Shrewsbury – Reading preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Shrewsbury vs Reading lineups.

Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury’s struggles continued on Tuesday when they lost their rescheduled game vs Bolton 0-2. The Shrews never looked like scoring yet again and conceded twice late on to suffer another defeat. 

Shrewsbury are under pressure after 7 defeats in the last 11 rounds (W2 D2). Not just that but the Shrews scored only 3 goals in those 11 league matches. 

Main goalie Marosi was hurt in that game on Tuesday and he is under assessment now. Starting defenders Nurse and Feeney are certain to miss due to injuries while misfiring striker Bowman is a fresh concern with a hamstring issue. 

There is good news too though. Captain Dunkley managed to reduce his suspension so he will be available again. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Burgoyne (GK), Sraha, Flanagan, Dunkley, Winchester, Perry, Bayliss, Kenneh, Bennett, Phillips & Mata

Reading

Reading are last in the standings after going winless in the last 8 rounds. On Tuesday they only drew 1-1 at home vs Bristol Rovers. The Royals played well in this match and could have won. 

The team is up for sale with no buyers coming forward. The players are waiting for delayed wages. The last position is also because twice already Reading were penalised with a points deduction. 

All this makes it very hard for coach Selles to manage. To add to the problems the team’s two main ball-handlers in midfield Savage and Mbengue are missing this trip due to suspensions. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Button (GK), Bindon, Yiadom, Abbey, Guinness-Walker, Craig, Wing, Hutchinson, Knibbs, Azeez & Smith 

​Starting Lineups

The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

​Player to Watch: Max Mata

Shrewsbury has struggled for goals all season. One of the main reasons for that is that their summer signing Max Mata is yet to find the back of the net despite already making 11 league appearances. 

The New Zealander is under pressure to finally start delivering and he will be watched closely as he likely starts yet again with the manager desperate to see him finally begin his goal count.
