Overview
- Second‑half strikes from Anthony Scully and Luca Hoole secured a 2-1 victory after Tyler Walker pulled one back for Barrow.
- The result delivered Gavin Cowan’s first win in charge and extended Shrewsbury’s unbeaten run at the Meadow to three matches.
- Cowan made four changes, with January signing Kevin Berkoe handed his first start as Sam Clucas and Sam Stubbs missed out through injury.
- John Marquis was forced off inside 15 minutes with a knock, while Cowan praised player buy‑in and highlighted progress in the final third.
- Persistent travel issues still loom large, with just one league away win, five straight away defeats, 34 away goals conceded and only 12 scored, as two more home games now follow.
