Shrewsbury have made decent progress in 2022-23 and currently occupy 16th place in League One, having accumulated 23 points from 19 matches under Steve Cotterill.

Nevertheless, the Shrews are on a run of three matches without a victory and will welcome the challenge of FA Cup football as they look to get back on track.

In the first round of the competition, Shrewsbury secured progression with a 2-1 victory over York City thanks to goals from Jordan Shipley and an effort from Luke Leahy, cancelling out a Manny Duku reply.

Last season, Shrewsbury managed to reach the third round of the tournament with wins over Stratford Town and Carlisle United, before bowing out to Liverpool at Anfield by a score of 4-1.

Come Saturday, they will be aiming to put their name in the hat for the next round and potentially net a glamour tie against Premier League opposition once again.

Peterborough come into this tie having enjoyed a positive start to the campaign in League One, sitting in the playoff positions on 31 points from 19 fixtures.

Grant McCann has endured some frustrating fortunes in the last few weeks, however, as his side have won just once in their last five games in all competitions.

Last time out, the Posh were on the end of a 4-2 defeat in the EFL Trophy by Chelsea Under-21s, as goals from Johnson Clarke-Harris and Jack Taylor proved to be merely consolations, as a double from Malik Mothersille and strikes from Cesare Casadei and Ben Elliott decided proceedings.

Shrewsbury Town host Peterborough United in the second round of the FA Cup this Saturday afternoon.

Both teams come into the game having lost 1-0 away in their weekend league fixture. Sheffield Wednesday scored through Mark McGuinness in the first half at the Hillsborough Stadium to claim all three points against Salop.

Meanwhile, Scott Sinclair’s second-half goal for Bristol Rovers against Peterborough was enough to win the game at the Memorial Stadium.

A changed Peterborough side then lost 4-2 at the Weston Homes Stadium on Tuesday night and were knocked out of the EFL Trophy by Chelsea under-21s.

In the FA Cup, Shrewsbury made it to this stage after beating York City 2-1 at Montgomery Waters Meadow earlier in the month. After drawing 0-0 in their first-round tie at home to Salford City, Peterborough then won their FA Cup replay 3-0 at The Peninsula Stadium to progress to the second round.

The Posh and Salop have met 58 times before, with both sides winning 20 of those fixtures and 18 ending in draws. The sides last met in the Sky Bet League One in January 2021 when Shrewsbury won the home fixture 2-0. The fixture at the London Road Stadium in October 2020 ended in a 5-1 defeat for Salop.

Home side Shrewsbury could look to make a couple of changes ahead of their FA Cup tie against Peterborough this weekend.

Target man Tom Bloxham could be preferred to loanee Christian Saydee in attack, while Rekeil Pyke could be handed a start in midfield over Jordan Shipley.

Experienced goalkeeper Marko Marosi is expected to keep his place between the sticks, while Tom Bayliss and Robert Street are in danger of picking up a suspension if they are booked during the encounter.

For the visitors, they are likely to make several changes following their choice to field a weakened side in the loss to Chelsea U21s in the EFL Trophy.

Jack Marriott could come back into contention away to Shrewsbury, while Jeando Fuchs and Jack Taylor may link up in midfield from the start as they look to control the match from the beginning.

Ronnie Edwards is suspended for the match due to picking up a straight red against Bristol Rovers last weekend. Jeando Fuchs and Jack Taylor are at risk of suspension if they are yellow carded during the game.

Shrewsbury Town possible starting lineup:
Marosi; Pennington, Dunkley, Flanagan; Pyke, Leahy, Winchester, Moore; Bayliss; Street, Bloxham

Peterborough United possible starting lineup:
Bergstrom; Thompson, Kent, Knight, Butler; Fuchs, Taylor; Poku, Burrows, Mason-Clark; Marriott

In the week that the Bulls lost their most famous ex-player, FA Cup legend Ronnie Radford – 50 years on from his iconic match-winning goal against Newcastle – it briefly looked like there might be some left-over magic in the air.

For seven minutes, the sixth-tier outfit led after Miles Storey’s goal against the team 81 places above them in the English football pyramid in League One.

But Pompey hit back, with Reeco Hackett quickly levelling before second-half goals from Colby Bishop and substitute Joe Pigott earned the twice FA Cup winners a safe passage to Monday’s second-round draw

Making their first trip to Edgar Street in 38 years, Pompey were given a good first-half workout by the fired-up hosts.

Although home keeper Dale Eve had to keep out Hackett’s left-foot curler bound for the top corner, Pompey had a first real scare when Bishop’s challenge on Hereford’s former million-pound marksman Tyrone Barnett in the visitors’ penalty box went unpunished.

And there was worse to follow for Pompey when Hereford took the lead on 26 minutes.

Sean Raggett played a loose pass inside to Hackett, who was immediately closed down and robbed by Storey – and the former Pompey player raced away down the inside-left channel before keeping his cool to nutmeg on-loan West Bromwich Albion keeper Josh Griffiths.

Fittingly, just two days on from the announcement of the sad passing of Hereford’s legendary number 11, their modern-day number 11 emulated his predecessor.

There had already been a minute’s silence, which cascaded into applause from the whole ground, followed by chants of ‘there’s only one Ronnie Radford’ when the clock showed 11 minutes.

But this goal was destined not to prove so famous.

Ronan Curtis headed down Connor Ogilvie’s far-post cross for Hackett to bring down and fire home coolly from six yards.

On 63 minutes, Portsmouth took the lead when, from Clark Robertson’s in-swinging right-foot corner from the left, Bishop timed his run to get there first and head his 10th goal of the season.

And Pigott wrapped up victory 10 minutes from time when, again from a corner by skipper Robertson, Bishop won the initial header before Pigott reacted sharpest to sidefoot home

Hereford FC boss Josh Gowling told BBC Sport:

“I’m really disappointed because we should have got something out of it, but goals change games – and the quality of the delivery they have changes games.

“In the first half we were excellent. We were in the ascendancy and they looked nervous.

“We were on top and looked like we could go on and win, but we’ve made one mistake, it has cost us a goal and that’s the difference in levels.

“We’ve given them a leg up and a little lift and you could see their performance raise after that.”

Portsmouth boss Danny Cowley told BBC Sport:”

I was so sad to hear the news about Ronnie Radford. He was such an iconic figure and he had that iconic moment. For a lot of people my age, his famous goal was their first memories of the FA Cup. But what a brilliant night to celebrate his life
