Shrewsbury Town boss Steve Cotterill said the effort of his players was magnificent in their 1-1 draw against Portsmouth
Salop were up against it all week in the lead-up to the game with the boss unsure if he had 10 senior fit players available for him to select from.
Of the Cotterill six subs, none of the outfield players had made a senior League One appearance between them and so given the circumstances it was a brilliant result for Shrews and the boss was proud of the players."We had 10 fit senior players going into today, and the 11th one Tom Flanagan should never have played today.
They looked set to earn all three points but they were pegged back in the 82nd minute when Marlon Pack headed beyond Marko Marosi from a corner.He said:"Brilliant for him. He has lost his grandad in the last couple of weeks who has had a massive impact on his life. he took him to games when he was a kid."I had a grandad I adored, so I have huge sympathy for him. He is just a top top boy.
