Ollie Westbury ahead of Shrewsbury's trip to Reading

Ollie Westbury discusses Paul Hurst's pre-Reading press conference.

Transcript

00:00 Hello Shrewsbury fans, I've just spoken to Shrewsbury Town boss Paul Hurst ahead of the

00:15 trip to Reading this weekend. In terms of actual newsworthy items, probably the most

00:21 newsworthy thing is that Tom Flanagan got through a full training session today. He's

00:29 been involved in other parts of training this week. Too early I believe for him to be in

00:34 contention for a place in the matchday 18 at the Modayski or the Select Car Leasing

00:41 Stadium, whatever it's called these days. But it's good to see the defender recovering

00:48 and on the way back to action. Follow-up questions to be asked probably later next week as to

00:54 when we're more likely to see him back. But that will be a decision we'll make in conjunction

00:59 with the physios. Other stuff, Paul Hurst went down to Reading on Tuesday evening. He

01:07 actually told me quite a funny story that he was offered, for those that have seen,

01:10 that he was actually offered a red card. There was a protest at the ground in midweek and

01:16 he was offered a red card for the part of the protest but I think he politely declined

01:21 out of respect, which is kind of understandable. So he went down to watch them, obviously very

01:26 aware of Reading's threats. It's been another incredibly wet week here in the UK and Shrewsbury

01:33 have been training on the artificial, I'm not sure actually whether it's on the artificial

01:38 or at the ground, but they've not been at their training base, their Sundorn training

01:42 base. Really important game, really important run of six fixtures coming up for Shrewsbury

01:48 Town as they head into what is currently described as squeaky-bong time. You know, the really

01:55 important stage of the season and results is what the doctor orders. Looking forward

01:59 to this one and safe travels down there to the Shrewsbury fans that do make the journey

02:03 down to Reading.
