Shrewsbury Town remain rooted to the foot of the Football League following a 1-1 home draw against Grimsby Town.
Still reeling from their 4-1 drubbing at Leyton Orient last Saturday, things got worse before they became better for the home side as Terry Fleming fired the visitors ahead after just five minutes.
But Shrewsbury hit back, and although Luke Rodgers had a penalty saved seven minutes before the break, Jimmy Quinn's men finally drew level when full-back Jake Sedgemore saw his 77th minute free-kick slip through the hands of Grimsby keeper Tony Williams and into the net.
Manager Quinn made several changes from the side trounced in east London at the weekend, which included giving a first start of the season for veteran midfielder Martin O'Connor – but it all looked to no avail as Fleming was left unmarked to shoot the Mariners ahead.
Shrewsbury, however, recovered from this set-back and after Jamie Tolley and Duane Darby both went close, Rodgers himself won the 38th minute penalty kick for an infringement only seen by referee Jones.
Rodgers took the ensuing spot-kick himself only to see Williams palm it to safety.
After the break Shrewsbury continued to press, but John McDermott and Andy Parkinson both went close to extending the visitor's lead, before Sedgemore's free-kick and Williams' error enabled the Gay Meadow side to avoid their fourth home defeat of the season.
