The odds for them to win, of 4.75 left no room for doubt. The defeat was clear before the match started.

The defense showed numerous shortcomings during the match. Aristote Nsiala was on a bad day, never on time for his appointment with the ball, definitely one of the worst on the field.

The performances of Shrewsbury Town in recent matches suggest that they are having difficulty scoring goals, with a low number of goals and a high number of matches where they failed to score. This indicates that their attacking play is not creating enough quality chances and needs improvement.

With 41% of ball possession averaged per game over the course of this league, Shrewsbury Town can hardly be said to be the kind of team that imposes its textures on the field. However,in the next match of the season against Rotherham United they will have to come down with a whole different attitude on the pitch, and try to build more scoring chances.

One of the team's signings for the season still seems to be in a slow pace of adaptation. Aristote Nsiala played another underwhelming game in the club's last appearance, against Mansfield Town. He failed to show the expected security and did not help Shrewsbury Town to come out with the victory.

Best goalscorer from Shrewsbury Town

Leo Castledine has proved to be a tremendous individual asset for the team's offense this season. With 2 goals scored in the competition, the Midfielder has been instrumental in leading Shrewsbury Town to obtain favorable outcomes on several occasions.

Rotherham United analysis

We have reached matchday 7 in League One and at the moment Rotherham United has made 5 goals and conceded 9.

Rotherham United is currently struggling to find the back of the net, with a low number of goals scored and a high number of games where they failed to score. This suggests that their attacking play needs to be improved, with a focus on creating better opportunities and converting them into goals.

The outcome of the match promises to be less than positive for the team, which is awaiting a complicated away game and has some less than comforting attacking numbers: only 0.71 goals on average per game in this tournament.
