Shrewsbury Town are away at Chesterfield tomorrow and manager Paul Hurst believes they're playing well enough to pick up plenty of points on the road between now and the end of the season.

And Hurst said he doesn't feel there is any lack of confidence among his players or concern that they can't win away, having beaten high-flying Scunthorpe recently.
