      Holt nets five as Shrewsbury progress

      Grant Holt spectacularly smashed five as Shrewsbury demolished Wycombe 7-0 in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at Adams Park, emphasising the visitors' promotion credentials against the League Two leaders. Having bagged two in the opening 27 minutes, Town's record signing added a further three in eight second-half minutes, the pick a stunning 22-yard volley, as the Shrews cruised into the area quarter-finals. Town took the lead after 12 minutes when the former Nottingham Forest striker climbed highest to power a Ben Davies corner and Holt had his second from close range 15 minutes later. Holt then turned provider on 39 minutes as Kevin McIntyre slotted home his cross. The hosts showed more purpose after the break and Brazilian forward Magno Vieria almost jinked his way through after 59 minutes but a spectacular 25-yard Shane Cansdell-Sherriff chip killed off any hopes of a Wycombe comeback. Holt claimed the match ball 10 minutes from time with another header before crashing home a volley and then drilled home his fifth of the match and ninth of the season to compound the Chairboys' misery on 85 minutes.
