Shrewsbury Town boss satisfied with start to the season

Shrewsbury Town boss Sam Ricketts is pleased with his sides’ opening few months of the season.

The 38-year-old has said he is happy that goals have been spread around his squad.

Ricketts, who spent his playing career with spells at the likes of Hull City, Bolton Wanderers and Coventry City, took over the Shrews just under a year ago having previously managed National League side Wrexham.

His side finished 18th in the last campaign and are now 11th, two points outside the Play-Offs.

They beat Macclesfield Town on Wednesday 3-1 in the Leasing.com Trophy.

Ricketts has said, as per a report by the Shropshire Star: “We haven’t scored a lot this year, but we have shared them around, which is quite encouraging. Defenders have been chipping in and now midfielders, the forwards have been scoring as well. Three goals on Wednesday is good and we have to keep working on it, keep putting teams to the sword.”

When we were 1-0 up, we had two or three instances where you think we should score and we missed the target, but we got the goals our dominance deserved.”

Midfielder Brad Walker scored an impressive free-kick against the Silkmen and Ricketts said: “I think (Cristiano) Ronaldo might be watching Brad Walker after tonight! I’ve seen him do it a couple of times and nearly scored but I was delighted for him with the goal and performance after what he’s been through.”

Next up for Shrewsbury after the international in League One is a home fixture against Bristol Rovers.
