Shrewsbury captain Graham Coughlan believes the club's supporters can help inspire a promotion push.

The Shrews lost to Gillingham in last season's League Two play-off final but are in the shake-up again, sitting seventh, six points off the top.

Coughlan said that the fans have a vital role to play in helping the team try to go one better this time around.

"They give us a great lift and an extra incentive in the dressing room," he told BBC Radio Shropshire.

Town were backed be more than 1,000 fans at Notts County on Saturday when only a late equaliser from Shrewsbury old boy Graeme Lee denied Paul Simpson's side all three points.

Lee's header prevented the Shrews collecting their fourth away win of the campaign, having already match last season's tally of three wins on the road by the end of September with victories at Accrington, Lincoln and Cheltenham.
