Kris Bright
lol, he couldn't score in a brothel at the Knights, and Ricki was in a position to sign him before, so I don't imagine any change to the status quo now
Talking to my mate who's over there at present there was talk of him heading off to a conference club on loan (Oxford has been a regular for shrews players lately) but that obviously fell through.
The current manager isn't exactly appreciated and I'd say this doesn't help Bright when it comes to the fans
Shrews, six points adrift of the top seven, go into the clash needing all three points to keep alive any faint hopes of gatecrashing the play-off places. Lincoln meanwhile find themselves on the fringes of a relegation battle but victory could see them safe this weekend.
Town midfielder Benjamin Van den Broek is nursing a tight hamstring after an impressive contribution as a 61st-minute substitute in the goalless draw against Cheltenham on Tuesday and his fitness will be monitored over the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, a sickness bug has hit the club this week affecting several players including striker Dave Hibbert and defender Kelvin Langmead and Simpson will again check on the players concerned as late as possible.
Captain Graham Coughlan (thigh), midfielder Craig Disley (ankle) and Jake Robinson (ligament damage) are all still in recovery but could be back in full training by the end of the month.
Striker Kris Bright grabbed a brace to help Town`s reserves to a 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in midweek and he will be pushing for involvement along with youngster Tom Bradshaw, while Steve Leslie is also hoping for a start having come off the bench of late.
Fellow forward Nathan Elder will return to the club on April 24 when his loan spell at AFC Wimbledon comes to an end.
It was Town's first home goal for eight hours and three minutes.
Steven Leslie's centre was turned in from close-range by Bright seven minutes from time - seven minutes away from setting a 124-year-old club record of five goalless home games.
This is a very good news ahead of WC:hope he plays the 3 games remaining because he just played the last 26 minutes of this game!
It took until late in the second half for Town to turn their chances into goals when Kris Bright slotted the ball home.It was testimony to Bright's perseverance and determination over the season to finally get his Town account off the mark: "Recently he's been working extremely hard and in the week he got a couple of goals in the reserves.
"In all fairness to him he shouldn't have played in the week as he felt ill but because we had others dropping out he said he'd give it a go, and that is credit to him.
"He has waited a long time for that and has had a very frustrating time but I would imagine that will be a big weight off his shoulders and hopefully there will be more to come from him.
"The goal showed an instinct, he was in the right area and we got the win."
Its about time. Good on him

Plus Jeremy Brockie can cover there if needed, and I imagine he should make the squad.
Jeremy should counted as a covering midfielder if anything and not a striker. Costa may have a very good inside running because he can present speed and impact off the bench.
Hopefully in the next three games Kris will have complete games and press a reasonable case, even though it is a bit late in the piece. It's not impossible to press hard and make a statement. He's not off the radar because we only have so much players overseas to consider.
Might give him a chance for more game time...if he doesnt get the flick.
May also see Rory Fallon follow him back to the shrews (wishful thinking) gings2010-05-02 01:11:47
Supposedly played very well & unlucky not to score keeper making a couple of good saves & also hiiting post.
I'll tell you now, Bright won't go.
We already have four top strikers, plus Brockie who is fit and could cover upfront if he needs.
Taken from one of the shrews fans message boards after the morecambe game. A few have said his link up play was good and was man of the match in their opinion

Good for Kris if they go as it may give him a chance. Not so good as odds are money will be spent big time in the striking department
"Kris Bright finds the net with a goal from just outside the area to the bottom left corner of the goal. Port Vale 0-1 Shrewsbury".
