Shrewsbury had Conor Hourihane to thank as they secured a 1-0 home win over Derby.
The only goal came from the former Aston Villa midfielder, who headed into his own net from a Taylor Perry cross.
Just before half-time, referee Martin Woods pointed to the penalty spot after Curtis Nelson brought down Max Mata but Tom Bayliss took the effort and blazed the ball over the bar.
Shrewsbury went close again a minute later when Mata went through on goal but his effort was denied by Joe Wildsmith's foot.
The home side were in the ascendency after the break and Perry floated a cross into the box in the 56th minute.
