With three players suspended for the next two games and the January transfer window not open for several weeks, the Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Hurst has hinted some fringe-players may get their chance against Bristol Rovers and Bolton Wanderers.
Hurst has also hinted he may have some new faces lined up, when the transfer window opens.
Quote MessageFingers crossed we don't pick up any injuries before those two games. It just makes the task even harder, but it's a chance for one or two lads who maybe have been on the sidelines to come in. And for the lads that have been in the team, they've got to roll up their sleeves and give absolutely everything."
Paul Hurst, Shrewsbury Town manager

A stained glass window set in a bathroom window in Church Stretton could be worth thousands of pounds.
Designed by artist Margaret Rope, whose works are held by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others, its origins were discovered by homeowner Rosalind Garrard after moving in four years ago.
Ms Garrard said the window is believed to have been created while Rope was a student at the Birmingham Municipal School of Art.
Image source, Rosalind GarrardIt depicts a scene from the Apocrypha showing Judith's beheading of of Holofernes, a subject also covered by artist Caravaggio.
A similar window also designed by Rope while a student in Birmingham recently sold at auction to a USA buyer for £30,000, Ms Garrard said.
She is hoping someone can help shed some light on how it came to be in Church Stretton.
