Head2Head & Team News - Shrewsbury Town

Last updated : 23 November 2007 By Deano
After the exit from the FA Cup in midweek, Mark Robins' men will want an immediate response as they go in search of six straight league two victories.

Robins must decide on whether to stick with a 4-3-3 formation or revert to a 4-4-2, and has a few selection posers.

Pablo Mills will return to midfield, maybe in the expense of Jamie Yates who could drop out after Mark Hudson's impressive form on the right. Loanee Ian Ross is also eager for his first start but it's unlikely he'll figure from the off. Meanwhile Andy Todd and Peter Holmes netted on Wednesday afternoon as the reserves beat Barnsley 3-1.

Whilst competition is fierce in the midfield area, Derek Holmes (right), who also scored in the same reserve game, is fit after a six week lay off with a broken foot to add pressure to Chris O'Grady. Marc Newsham and Ryan Taylor in attack. It will also be a special occasion for full back Paul Hurst, who will break the club record league appearance total by passing Danny Williams' record of 461 games.

MillersMAD predicted line up:
Warrington, Tonge, Coughlan, Sharps, Hurst, Hudson, Mills, Harrison, Brogan, Taylor, O'Grady.

The Shrews sit in 11th place, 5 points off the play off pack and arrive with two ex Millers in Dave Hibbert and Colin Murdock (left) in their ranks. Hibbert returned from injury in last weeks win over Barnet and is still Town's leading scorer this term.

They go into the clash without the suspended Ben Heard who picked up his fifth booking last weekend whilst Marc Tierney is a doubt with a shin problem.

Loanee Shane Tudor will start out wide and is hopeful of a permanent move from Port Vale in January. Michael Symes is also pushing for a starting role alongside Hibbert.
