Cheltenham’s resurgence under Steve Cotterill continued with a 3-1 home win over Shrewsbury.
Strikes from Hakeeb Adelakun and Jake Bickerstaff put the Robins two up at the break, with Isaac Hutchinson adding the third from the penalty spot.
John Marquis pulled one back for the Shrews but it was comfortable for Cheltenham against Cotterill’s old club.
Adelakun opened the scoring in the 14th minute, finishing Jordan Thomas’ low ball for his second goal in as many games.
He then turned provider, playing a ball over the top of the visiting back line for Bickerstaff to reach and apply a confident finish past Will Brook in the 31st minute.
Arkell Jude-Boyd was tripped in the box by Will Boyle and Hutchinson converted from the spot for the eighth goal of his loan spell from Bristol Rovers in the 54th minute.
Marquis gave the travelling fans something to celebrate in the 63rd minute, after Joe Day parried a deflected strike from Sam Clucas and Boyle delivered back into the middle, but Cheltenham had done enough to make it 10 points from their last four games.
