For the record, the BBC's stats for last night's game are:

Wrexham 16/3/0 v Newport 11/1/0

Apart from our own performance in front of goal, it's necessary to consider the opposition's defence as well, and Newport's goalie had a vital part to play for them according to all accounts - that word 'worldie' cropping up again, just as it does for so many goalies that we face!

Obviously, NONE of the 13 off-target shots that we had stood a chance of scoring - including a header that hit the crossbar, but we had three shots saved - certain goals otherwise, while Newport managed only one shot on target.

Somehow, we need to learn from Barnsley's record yesterday: Same number of shots as us - 16 - but 10 of theirs were on target, and FOUR of those resulted in goals.

As someone else said, 'practice, practice, practice!' I wonder how much time (if any) we spend practicing and improving shots on target at the Nine Acre?
