Swindon Town registered their fourth consecutive victory as they collected all three points at Shrewsbury.
Anton Rodgers sent a free-kick over the bar and Ben Gladwin was denied three times from distance by Mark Halstead.
Nicky Ajose finally opened the scoring for Swindon as he turned in Rodgers' cross for his 10th goal of the season.
Junior Brown and Scott Vernon went close to equalisers for the home side, but defeat meant that Shrewsbury slipped to 20th position in League One.
Shrewsbury Town manager Micky Mellon told BBC Radio Shropshire:
"We didn't quite get going, we showed a bit more belief in the second half but we just didn't get onto the end of anything that was coming into the box.
"We deserved to get a draw in the second half. Most of the game was played inside the Swindon half but we failed to have that bit of luck and good fortune to get in front of the goalkeeper.
"I'm disappointed to concede - you have to pick bodies up, and two of them have come in at the back post unmarked and they have put the ball in the back of the net."
