Bolton manager Ian Evatt expressed frustration at what he perceived as time-wasting tactics from Shrewsbury during their 2-2 draw which left Derby County on the brink of Championship promotion. Despite needing a win, Bolton could only manage a draw hitting the woodwork late in the game.

Evatt criticized Shrewsbury tactics feeling they excessively ran down the clock. Derby needing just four points from their last two games to secure promotion benefitted from Shrewsbury result. Rams coach Paul Warne jokingly asking Shrewsbury for a favor referenced their previous draw against Derby emphasizing their potential to impact promotion races unexpectedly.
