Post-Cambridge | Michael Appleton

Michael Appleton met with the media after watching his Shrewsbury side fall to a cruel defeat at Cambridge.

A 90th minute penalty from Ben Knight broke Town's hearts as Neil Harris's side continued their outstanding home form.

Appleton's side more than deserved a point as they hit the road for the second time in the space of a few days.

Debutant Matt Cox had made a good save to deny Sully Kaikai early in the game.

But that moment aside, the hosts offered little - with Josh Ruffles inches away from putting Town ahead shortly after the interval.

In the 90th minute though, Cambridge got a fortuitous penalty when Luca Hoole was judged to have handled the ball - with Knight going on to convert.

Speaking to the media post-match, Appleton said the hosts never should have ben awarded the late spot-kick.

He also discussed the overall performance and his hopes of making further additions this month.
