00:00We've just spoken to Shrewsbury's head coach Gareth Ainsworth ahead of the game against
00:06Mansfield at the Crowd Meadow this weekend. Shrewsbury back in League One action after
00:10the defeat against Stockport on Tuesday evening. Another 1-0 defeat to back up the 1-0 defeat
00:16they suffered just almost seven days ago against Chalton. Town have been much better at home
00:23in recent weeks. They have taken seven points from the last nine available with the game
00:29against Wrexham and a couple of good runs that were back over the Christmas period.
00:33I bumped into Morgan Feeney on the training ground today. He is up and about and moving
00:38around. A bit of an update and some stories coming based on his health and how he's doing
00:46and what happened post-match on Tuesday evening. Lots and lots of questions about the transfer
00:54window and where Shrewsbury are at and what's happening with fees and things that they've
00:58brought in. Plenty of information to be coming out of today's press conference. It was a
01:04really, really interesting one. Some good questions asked, some good answers given and
01:09I think it's all the kind of thing that's fairly fascinating from a Shrewsbury perspective
01:14of where they are and how the remainder of the transfer window is going to look for Shrewsbury
01:20Town. A couple of injury updates. I'm not quite sure on whether Morgan Feeney will actually
01:27be available this weekend. It will probably be too soon for him but there is a good chance
01:33that Leo Castledine, Luca Hall and Aaron Pierre will be back in the team to face Mansfield.
01:39Gareth Ainsworth revealing that the plan for Pierre was always to be available for this
01:44match so that's an interesting one. Town, they could do with a win. Bottom of the league,
01:51it's been a difficult week or so with the sides around them winning and their position
01:55becoming increasingly more vulnerable at the bottom of the league one table. Town need
02:00to win and they need to win fast. 57 points still left to play for for Shrewsbury and
02:04they need to start picking some up.
