Appleton Urges Unity as Shrewsbury Slide to Second Bottom After Harrogate Defeat

Appleton calls for shared accountability after dropping captain John Marquis.

Overview

  • Shrewsbury lost 2-0 at Harrogate and remain second from bottom with five points from nine League Two matches.
  • The manager said players must match his disappointment and anger to address the poor start and basics like winning duels.
  • John Marquis was left out of the starting XI, with Appleton accepting the decision may have been wrong after the forward later came on.
  • Two experienced defenders went off within 10 minutes during the match, contributing to a back line that has conceded 18 goals so far.
  • Appleton praised the 621 travelling supporters and turns to a home match against MK Dons seeking a more pragmatic approach.
