New captain Carl Winchester says Shrewsbury Town need to embrace the underdog mentality ahead of the new season.
The Salop players and staff will approach games aiming to prove people wrong, according to the Salop skipper, after they have been widely tipped for relegation ahead of the new League One season.
Winchester said:"I think just go out there and prove everyone wrong. From what we see is being said on social media, we are one of the favourites to go down. "We need to apply that to a Saturday, and I think we will be fine. I think the last time the gaffer was here, they were predicted to finish in the same position, and they ended up finishing third.
"The lads had a meeting about it and we spoke about it . We said 'Look lads, no one is giving us a chance, and that is before a ball has even been kicked' which I think is mad.
