Shrewsbury Town lost 2-0 to Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park on the opening day of the League Two season. Goals from Jordan Davies and Charlie Whitaker sealed the defeat for Salop, who came away from Merseyside empty-handed.
How the Match Unfolded
Despite the scoreline, Shrewsbury arguably shaded a keenly-contested first half. Davies broke the deadlock for the hosts before Whitaker doubled Tranmere's lead early in the second half to settle the contest.
Cowan's Reaction
Manager Gavin Cowan met with the media after the defeat and reflected on the opening-day contest. Cowan also praised the travelling support that made the trip to Merseyside.
What's Next
Shrewsbury return to action at home against Barnet next week as they look to bounce back from the defeat.
