What The Papers Say: Town Alert Over Hotshot Threat

Last updated : 22 August 2008 By Stray Shots Team
The Shropshire Star has reported taht Shrewsbury Town boss Paul Simpson has declared, "We've got to be prepared" ahead of tomorrow afternoons League Two fixture against The Shots.

Town have the chance to extend their perfect start to the League Two season to three matches when last season's Blue Square Premier champions - managed by former QPR boss Gary Waddock - head to the Prostar Stadium.

But Exeter offered evidence of the threat promoted teams can pose last week as they pushed Town all the way before Simpson's men emerged with a 1-0 away triumph.

The Town boss is expecting an equally testing challenge tomorrow in what will be the first meeting between the clubs since the Conference play-off final of 2003-4.
