Josh Sheehan effort enough as Bolton boost play-off chances with Shrewsbury win
Posted Sunday, April 23, 2023 by PA
Midfielder Josh Sheehan was on target with the only goal to boost Bolton’s hopes of a play-off spot following a 1-0 Sky bet League One win over Shrewsbury.
Marko Marosi’s second-half save denied Dion Charles and the home side’s top scorer also had a goal disallowed for a foul.
Another effort from Conor Bradley deflected onto the crossbar and Marosi saved from George Johnston.
With the frustration growing for manager Ian Evatt, Sheehan curled in a 25-yard, left-footed shot after 63 minutes to register his second goal of the campaign.
Bolton – beaten 3-2 at the Montgomery Waters Meadow Stadium last December – could have eased late nerves with a second goal.
Instead, Marosi denied Kyle Dempsey and Victor Adeboyejo in quick succession.
However, for all their doggedness, Steve Cotterill’s Shrews lacked a cutting edge and have won only once in their last 10 games.
Papa John’s Trophy champions Bolton – who moved into fifth place as a result – have three more games to cement a top-six finish, including back-to-back home matches with Accrington and Fleetwood.
