Peter Taylor's first full season as City boss started in defeat after his side fell 3-1 to ten-man Shrewsbury.

Although Tom Adeyemi had given the visitors a lead with a goal on his debut, Jake Robinson scored a hat-trick to send them home pointless.

City made a positive start to the game, playing with real confidence and spark, taking the lead when Adeyemi latched onto a knock down from James Hanson to clip the ball over the onrushing Ben Smith.

Gareth Evans came close to adding a second when he hit the post from around ten yards out but Shrewsbury levelled in controversial circumstances.

Jon McLaughlin seemed to be unfairly challenged when he dropped the ball from Mark Wright's corner but play continued and Robinson hammered home from close range.

Lively winger Lionel Ainsworth proved to be the catalyst for a Shrewsbury charge after the break, tormenting Robbie Threlfall after switching from left to right.

His cross set up Robinson for a headed second before the striker completed his hat-trick with a lofted finish from Matt Harrold's through ball.

McIntyre was sent off for kicking out at Louis Moult with 22 minutes remaining but Shrewsbury held on to claim the points.
