Ollie Westbury gives his take on Salop's 1-0 defeat to Bristol Rovers.
Salop were looking for another positive result on the road and had first half chances.
They fell behind in the second half before Tom Bloxham thought he had scored a late equaliser.
However the goal was chalked off for offside and Salop fell to another loss.

00:00Shrewsbury Town fall to another disappointing defeat on the road at Bristol Rovers at the
00:06Memorial Ground this evening, where it was controversy late on as Town thought they'd
00:11scored a goal in the closing moments of the game to get an equaliser, to make it 1-1 and
00:17to take a point, probably a point they deserved in fairness on the balance of the game. It
00:21was probably a game that was fairly low on quality, but Celep had some very good chances
00:26which seems to be a familiar trend that we keep repeating. But the goal was then ruled
00:31out for offside, very similar-ish to the goal if anybody watched the game at Molyneux at
00:37the weekend where John Stone scored a late winner against Wolves. Probably John Marquise,
00:43the man peen-liced today, was even further outside of the goalkeeper's line of sight.
00:48He basically just was not interfering with play and it's been given us offside and Shrewsbury
00:52come home empty-handed. It feels like it's the latest in a long kind of string of disappointing
01:00decisions that have gone against Shrewsbury, which does tend to happen when you are down
01:04at that end of the league table and Town will be very, very disappointed that it has. It
01:08makes it even more cruel that it's so late on. But Town did have 89 minutes before that
01:12where they could have got themselves ahead in the game. George Lloyd and John Marquise
01:17had good chances to give Town the lead in the first half. Visitors took the lead then
01:21after the break. Probably if it was an XG, one of the moments in the game that had the
01:29lowest XG where it was a beautiful finish with the inside of his left foot, Shrewsbury's
01:33defenders generally just seemed to get a little bit attracted to the ball. But it's another
01:37disappointing loss that makes it nine from 13 now in League One. Other results have not
01:41gone their way so it really is tough times to be a Shrewsbury Town fan at the moment.
