Simpson was runner up in League Two's Manager of the Month for August

Paul Simpson has told his players to react positively to their 1-0 loss at Morecambe on Saturday, their first league defeat of the season.

"Maybe we needed this, maybe people got too carried away and thought everything in the garden was full of roses," he admitted to BBC Radio Shropshire.

"We've got to make sure this is a kick up the backside and we react in the right way.

"We've got good players and we're a good footballing side," Simpson said.

Town have now slipped to fifth in League Two after topping the table earlier this season.
