George Lloyd put Shrewsbury Town in the lead as they went on to clinch only their second win in League Two this season
Shrewsbury moved out of the League Two relegation zone following a comfortable 2-0 win at home to Cambridge.
George Lloyd and Will Boyle scored first-half goals as the struggling Shrews picked up their first home league victory of the season.
The lacklustre visitors never looked likely to rescue a point after failing to get a single shot on target during a flat second half.
Lloyd put the hosts ahead after taking advantage of a defensive mix-up after 12 minutes.
Zak Bradshaw had a long-range effort saved by Will Brook as the game went through a quiet spell.
Town doubled their advantage when Boyle headed home a Sam Clucas corner after 36 minutes.
Tommy McDermott was inches away from slotting home a teasing Clucas cross five minutes before the break.
Lloyd and Anthony Scully nearly got on the end of Ismeal Kabia's dangerous cross early in the second half.
Lloyd had a shot well-blocked by Liam Bennett with eight minutes to go as the game petered out.
