Perry’s Winner Seals Shrewsbury’s Third Straight Victory, Seven Points Clear

Cowan’s early tenure has tightened structure to turn Croud Meadow into the springboard for survival.

Overview

  • Shrewsbury beat Notts County 1-0 through a second‑half strike from Taylor Perry to complete three wins on the bounce for the first time in three years.
  • The side remains unbeaten at Croud Meadow under Gavin Cowan and now sits seven points above the League Two relegation zone.
  • An eighth home clean sheet underscored growing resilience, with goalkeeper Matt Cox producing important stops against the play-off contenders.
  • Brentford loanee Iwan Morgan, who scored against Swindon, was again influential and tested the visitors as his impact continues to grow.
  • Assistant coach Dave Edwards praised a renewed mentality and club “connection,” noting a return of 10 points from five games, while Anthony Scully’s first-half injury was a concern.
