Shrewsbury have received opposition boss Brendan Rodgers' support ahead of their Carling Cup fixture against Swansea.
Rodgers' wife Susan is a Shrewsbury fan as her father is Shrews striking great Mike Kearney who later worked with the current Swansea boss whilst at Reading. Rodgers is full of praise for the Shrews but refused to let the connection interrupt his preparation. He told the BBC: "I have actually followed Shrewsbury over a number of years because of the connection. "They have a very experienced manager who has been around the game for many years. "It is a club I have seen develop. We don't underestimate them but we want a Swansea win."
