Cheltenham T. face a trip to Shrewsbury Town at Prostar Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them being consigned to defeat by opponents in 4 of the 7 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2010, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Two match.
