Overview
- Following Saturday's 1-0 win over Oldham, defeats for Barrow and Harrogate confirmed Shrewsbury's League Two safety with three matches left.
- Gavin Cowan, appointed in late January, has taken 25 points from 16 games with eight wins in his first Football League job.
- Defender Will Boyle headed the winner in the first half and urged a reset to build momentum into the summer.
- Cowan kept a back-five shape, tightened the defense, and leaned on set plays, while 17-year-old Will Gray impressed on his first start.
- The club remains up for sale after failed takeover bids, which fans say fuels uncertainty even as safety protects jobs and next season's income.
