00:00 I am just about to leave Pride Park as Shrewsbury came from behind Aaron Pierre with the 87th

00:06 minute equaliser to make it 1-1 as Salop get a point on the road. It's the second time

00:13 in two years that Shrewsbury have come from behind at Pride Park to get a point against

00:18 Derby who are always going to be one of those sides that are near the top of the division

00:22 in League One. I thought it was a game where I feel like Shrewsbury can be incredibly pleased

00:28 with the job they did defensively. I thought they limited Derby to very few chances. I

00:33 do really probably say that arguably a point was probably a fair result on the overall

00:38 complexion. It wasn't the best game to watch. There wasn't an awful lot of action really

00:43 until the 80th minute, probably just past that point. So Derby went ahead didn't they

00:49 in the 55th minute via Max Bird. A very disappointing way for Shrewsbury to concede obviously near

00:55 post corner. I think it was a miss hit corner and he got the better of his man and fired

01:00 it in into the net beyond Morosi. To be fair it's probably the point that Shrewsbury can

01:05 really still try to improve on and it is that goal threat. It is that creating of chances

01:10 and they didn't really look like getting back into it. Paul Hurst said that they need to

01:15 be harder to beat and if you can't go and win a game then the next best alternative

01:19 is to draw a game and that is exactly what they did. Aaron Pierre, brilliant work from

01:25 Mal Benning who must get credit for how excellent he has been in recent times. He has been an

01:29 excellent Mal Benning January player of the month. And there you go Shrewsbury level just

01:34 about hung on after Curtis Nelson hit the bar in the final stages but you know probably

01:39 a deserved point but we still do probably need to see more from town and from an attacking

01:44 perspective but maybe that's slightly harsh given the calibre of the opposition second

01:48 place derby promotion pushing derby. But it's 1-1 here, the trusty beanie is back, 100%,

01:54 not 100% record but not seen a defeat since the green beanie. Paul Hurst appreciates his

01:58 two and we will be seeing it at Barnsley at the Crowd Meadow on Tuesday evening.
