70 – A deflected shot from Dave McAllister loops up over the stranded Carson but bouncing back off the crossbar and the Bury keeper recovers to gather it on his line.

4:15pm

59 - Ironic cheers from ther Shrews fans as Marvin Morgan gets off the home team's first shot of the match, but the blocked effort rolls tamely to Trevor Carson.

YELLOW - Ebanks-Landell is booked for taking Morgan out on the wing

4:08pm

52 - John-Lewis heads a difficult chance wide after rising highest to Worrall's deep cross.

4:04pm

It looks a case of neither side wanting to lose, but I would say that, with the run of fixtures coming up, this is one Bury have to win...

4:02pm

Bury had the better of the first half, but neither side created a decent chance of note, other than Skarz's free-kick.

4:01pm

K/O: Bury kick off with no changes on either side. 

3:46pm

3:45pm

H/T: Shrewsbury Town 0 Bury 0

3:41pm

Bury are looking a little disjointed, with Skarz and Worrall the only players offering any real width, forcing them to cross from deep and no chance of getting in behind the Shrews defence.

On the plus side, Shrewsbury are yet to muster a shot - on or off the target.

3:37pm

John-Lewis is getting a rollicking by Blackwell and rightly so. The striker is not putting the same shift in he did against MK Dons. Seems to be more interested in defending the centre cirlce than closing the Shrews defenders down. 

3:28pm

29 - Ajose gets his first sniff at goal, but he's out-muscled at the near post by Cameron Gayle as he attempts to get on the end of Worrall's cross from the right

3:25pm

26 - Chris Weale in the Shrews goal gets down low to his right to keep a curling Joe Skarz free-kick out..

3:23pm

3:20pm

21 - Marvin Morgan slips marker Ashley Eastham in the box but his lay-off is intercepted. Of the new signings, Zubar looks to have settled the quickest...

3:18pm

Not much quality so far on a bobbly pitch. Bury look solid though and are just edging possession..

3:12pm

13 - New boy Zubar puts in an uncompromising clearing header and then hoofs another cross clear - is he Sodje in disguise?

3:10pm

One other name missing from the Bury squad is Andrai Jones - quite a risky one to drop considering Blackwell only has Mark Hughes as defensive cover on the bnench and an inexperienced right-back in Worrall on the field. Hope that doesn't come back to haunt the Shakers boss.

3:05pm

6 - Mambo puts in a great block to deny Schumacher in the box. Resulting corner comes to nothing.

3:04pm

5 - Worrall has started at right-back but did well to make it all the way up to the Shrews byline then to put in Bury's first cross. Going to be a lung-busting day for David by the looks of it...

3:02pm

As predicted, Ajose is playing in a wide role on the right of a five man midfield, with John-Lewis the loan frontman, reprising the role he performed so well in at MK Dons. Just need a goal now Lenny...

2:58pm

K/O: Shrews get the game under way...

2:57pm

Players are out at the Greenhous, Bury playing in their black away kit and Shrews in their usual yellow and blue.

Both sets of players, not surprisingly, warming up. They'll need it, not a good day for tight hamstrings... 

2:54pm

2:44pm

Bryan Flynn not trusting anything to chance ahead of Doncaster's visit to Gigg Lane next week. He's personally scotuing the Bury team, braving a chill westerly breeze with pad at the ready...

Team news

Kevin Blackwell makes three changes from the team that started at MK Dons in Bury's last match two weeks ago.

New loan signings Ashley Eastham and Stephane Zubar go straight in at centre-back, with Mark Hughes dropping to the bench and Efe Sodje left out of the squad altogether.

Nicky Ajose, Blackwell's third new signing of the week, also comes straight into the first team, with Tom Hopper losing out as the sixth loanee at the club, meaning he can take no part in the squad.

The other surprise is a maximum seven players on the bench, with David Healy and Andy Bishop both returning from injuries to strengthen Blackwell's hand.

Shrewsbury, who have only won once in seven games, make two changes, with Jabo Mambo coming in from Charlton.

Connor Goldson makes way for him, with Cameron Gayle switching to right-back.

Rob Purdie also comes in for Luke Summerfield and will play on the left of midfield, while Tom Bradshaw keeps Luke Rodgers out in attack.  

2:16pm

Full line-ups

SHREWSBURY: Weale; Gayle, D Jones, Mambo, Jacobson; Taylor, McAllister, Richards, Purdie; Bradshaw, Morgan.

BURY: Carson; Worrall, Eastham, Zubar, Skarz; Ebanks-Landell, Thompson, Schumacher; Soares, John-Lewis, Ajose.

1:57pm

It's a bit chilly down here at the Greenhous, but the match between Shrewsbury and Bury is definitely on.

We are just waiting for the team news, with changes expected on both sides.

Returning Shakers Nicky Ajose and Ashley Eastham are in line to make their second debuts for the club, while new centre-back Stephane Zubar could make his first.

Despite signing two defenders this week, it looks like Kevin Blackwell could stick with David Worrall at right-back, although that is still to be confirmed.
