00:00I'm at Shrewsbury's Sundorn Castle training base in what is my final pre-match Shrewsbury Town presser before I move on.
00:11Shrewsbury head coach Michael Appleton and midfielder slash wingback Sam Klukas have spoken to the press this morning ahead of the trip to Harrogate tomorrow.
00:20Town with very much a clean bit of health going into that game.
00:24Probably the best one that they've had so far this season with not as many players being in the treatment room means that Michael Appleton is going to have decisions to make of the players that he leaves out of the town squad with them going in search of their second win of the season and their second on the road.
00:40Chuck Saniki sounds like he's going to be in the matchday squad for the first time since he signed as a free agent just a couple of weeks ago.
00:47He wasn't involved in Salford. He's not exactly had a great deal of football and a great deal of training over the last six months since he left Cholton at the end of the last season.
00:57So building up his fitness has been key but he is sure to offer a big difference to the town 11.
01:05Michael Appleton still pleased with the performances and the trending that Shrewsbury are going down but obviously he is aware that results are kind of just as important too.
01:14You know, he revealed that Shrewsbury in the last few weeks have doubled almost every stat in terms of going forward, final third entries, crosses into the box, shots, shots on target.
01:24So the stats are backing up, you know, the eye test which suggests that town are improving and they are getting better.
01:30But ultimately it's the three points on a Saturday that they need to get and they need to get more often.
01:34This feels like a really important fixture away at Harrogate in North Yorkshire simply because they've got MK Dons at home the week after.
01:41And that takes us to the 10 game mark which is usually a pretty good yardstick of where a team is at.
01:46Town, they need a win as they head to Harrogate.
