It meant a slight tweak to a 3-4-1-2 system with Bayliss sitting behind a front two of Christian Saydee and Rob Street. Everton icon Duncan Ferguson began his management career at Montgomery Waters Meadow. He opted for a 4-3-3 formation with Amadou Bakayoko in the centre-forward position. Town started brightly and came close to taking the lead just four minutes in when Saydee held the ball up from a free-kick before laying it off to Shipley. The versatile left wing-back then saw a powerful low drive whistle just past the post – with the onrushing Matt Pennington inches away from meeting it at the back post.
Doohan, though, proved equal to the effort. Early into the second half Garrick received the ball on the edge box but his deflected effort get sent for a corner which Salop deal with. Just before the hour mark Shrewsbury won a corner which Bayliss took and sent his cross to the back post. A Forest Green defender managed to get ahead of Taylor Moore to send it for another Salop corner. In the subsequent move, Bayliss played a short ball to Leahy who found Shipley on the edge of the box. The versatile left wing-back’s powerful shot hit Corey O’Keeffe on the arm in the box, but the referee waved away Town's penalty claims.
