A look ahead to Cardiff’s trip to Shrewsbury

Cardiff head to New Meadow to take on Shrewsbury Town on Saturday afternoon in their second friendly fixture of pre-season.


Paul Trollope will take a full squad of first team players to New Meadow to take on League One outfit Shrewsbury Town. The teams will go head-to-head in four 30-minute periods in a bid to give everyone the chance to play without regular substitutions disrupting the flow of the contest.

The travelling Bluebirds supporters will unexpectedly see every fit first team player in action throughout the course of the afternoon. Paul Trollope will be looking to watch all his players in action before they travel to their pre-season training camp in Germany next week.

Cardiff made the trip to Shrewsbury last pre-season and the teams couldn’t be separated on that occasion, drawing 2-2. Joe Mason and Anthony Pilkington scored for the Bluebirds, and Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and James Collins scored for the home team.


The two teams would go on to meet during the season when they met at the Cardiff City Stadium during January, in a FA Cup Third Round tie. Micky Mellon’s men pulled off an upset with Andy Mangan scoring the winning goal to initiate a cup run for The Town.

Shrewsbury endured a poor season in League One last season, following promotion from League Two the season before. Micky Mellon’s men finished just one spot above the relegation zone in 20th, surviving the drop by four points.

The disappointing league campaign meant their FA Cup run which saw them beat Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday, was the highlight of their season. The Shrews were eventually knocked out by Manchester United at Meadow Lane in the Fifth Round.
