Bolton Wanderers 1-0 Shrewsbury Town

Midfielder Josh Sheehan was on target with the only goal to boost Bolton's hopes of a play-off spot following a 1-0 League One win over Shrewsbury.

Marko Marosi's second-half save denied Dion Charles and the home side's top scorer also had a goal disallowed for a foul.

Another effort from Conor Bradley deflected onto the crossbar and Marosi saved from George Johnston.

With the frustration growing for manager Ian Evatt, Sheehan curled in a 25-yard, left-footed shot after 63 minutes to register his second goal of the campaign.

Bolton - beaten 3-2 Shrewsbury last December - could have eased late nerves with a second goal.

Instead, Marosi denied Kyle Dempsey and Victor Adeboyejo in quick succession.

However, for all their doggedness, Steve Cotterill's Shrews lacked a cutting edge and have won only once in their last 10 games.

Papa John's Trophy champions Bolton - who moved into fifth place as a result - have three more games to cement a top-six finish, including back-to-back home matches with Accrington and Fleetwood.
