History of the Southend United v Shrewsbury Town fixture
Southend United prepare to entertain Shrewsbury Town at Roots Hall on Friday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Shrimpers are clearly on top, having won 17 and lost only 6 of the 28 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Roots Hall was less than a year ago, in February 2011, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League Two match.
