    FT: Charlton 0-1 Shrewsbury

    Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Hurst told Sky Sports:

    "It's very good with the form that Charlton have been in and a big crowd.

    "I backed the players that they could handle that and the longer the game went on the more a threat we looked.

    "I thought as an away team it was a very professional job, it's a boring cliche but it's only half time.

    "It's certainly not over because we've given ourselves a very small advantage."

  4. 'Jon's done that all season'published at 21:47 British Summer Time 10 May 2018

    FT: Charlton 0-1 Shrewsbury

    Shrewsbury Town captain Mat Sadler heaped praise on goalscorer Jon Nolan when speaking to Sky Sports:

    "Jon's done that all season, he's got a knack of scoring good goals.

    "But it’s very much half-time in the tie, we wanted to make sure going into the second leg that we were in it and it was all to play for and it certainly is.

    "We've beaten them twice here they beat us once at home, so it's only half-time. That's the first 90 done."

    Just a couple of minutes to go - what can Charlton do to try and salvage something from this first leg?

    Shrewsbury had the fourth-best home record in the regular season, losing just five times at home, although Charlton had the fifth-best away record - so it could be tight when they meet again on Sunday.

    Jon Nolan (80 mins)

    What a strike! Jon Nolan on the half-volley from 20 yards straight into the top corner!

    A lovely header down from Stefan Payne into the path of Shrewsbury's star man and it's a strike worthy of sending any side to Wembley. How he kept that shot down, I do not know.

    Nick Clark: If you really think the team in third or fourth place should be favoured, I think you are not really in favour of play-offs. Surely if you want them to have an advantage, they should get promoted automatically like in the old days.

    Steve C: Give teams a goal start for every three points they finished in front of the opposition. Any team more than 15 points ahead get a bye to the final.
