The Shrews
Tuesday night’s opposition currently hold one of the proudest records in all four divisions, having not lost at home since December 2011, a run which PNE hope to end.
Since their promotion to League One, Shrewsbury have witnessed several players heading in and out of the club, including now PNE duo Nicky Wroe and Shane Cansdell-Sherriff.
However, there will be one familiar in the opposition half for PNE supporters in the shape of former Welsh international and Preston winger Paul Parry.
Starting the new campaign with two defeats against Leeds and Sheffield United, Turner will be looking for a quick response from his side against the Lilywhites.
