Goals from Tom Bayliss and Jordan Shipley ensured the Shrews were 2-0 up at the break at Montgomery Waters Meadow. Zak Jules pulled one back for Dons nine minutes into the second-half, but Dawson Devoy’s red card on 59 minutes put paid to Dons’ attempts at securing an unlikely equaliser.
Both Liam Manning and Warren O’Hora felt Dons performed better down to 10-men as they dropped back into the bottom three in League One.
While there were few individually poor performances, the collective of the team was disappointingly low once again.
Here’s how we rated the players.
1. Top Don: Jamie Cumming - 7
Made a handful of solid stops to keep the score civil, denying Christian Saydee twice at least as well as a Rekiel Pyke effort which turned out to be offside. Little he could have done for the goals, especially with one deflected away from his dive Photo: Jane Russell
2. Jack Tucker - 5
Looked nervous as Dons' defence struggled in the first-half in particular. Hooked at half-time. Photo: Jane Russell
3. Warren O'Hora - 5.5
Looked off-colour in the first-half as Dons defence looked frail. Recovered in the second period. Photo: Jane Russell
4. Zak Jules - 6
Like O'Hora, had a nervous and tentative first-half, but got his second goal of the season and got back on top of things in the second. Photo: Jane Russell
