Re: Reaction vs Dag and Red
Honest opinion?
Hard fought win but should have been a stroll second half. First half nothing seemed to have changed. We lacked ambition, confidence and creativity. Tollitt was by far the most dangerous player. Though I don't know how we didn't go in one up....their keeper played a blinder all game. Second half we looked second best until the changes. One thing you will get from Rutherford and Beavon is drive and urgency. We needed it. Well taken goal but after that we really should have got three or four more. Wright's finishing is shocking. All in all, an important win. Convincing? Not by a long shot but if we do that now until the end of the season grabbing one goal wins everyone will be happy! Good to forget the background politics for a few hours but still nowhere near the perfect article. |

Re: Reaction vs Dag and Red
Thoughts - we were pretty poor first half - it was turning into another borefest.
Quite simply the game changed with the double substitution. Extremely disappointed with the anonymous grant again - and my Tranmere friends are spot on - Stockton unfortunately resembles a Rhyl beach donkey. Off they both went to be replaced by a double injection of intensity, hard running and pace. Oswell not in the 16 man squad - any explanation ? he looked very lively when he came on last home match with excellent positioning and good touches. Tollitt looked very good and great to see him starting and running hard at the opposition and taking them on - just what we need. Defence was hardly troubled all match - did Lainton make a save ? we should have won by far more than one goal - Akil Wright had 3 if not 4 opportunities that looked harder to miss than score yet fluffed the lot. Finally it was fantastic to see the Tech End lower section full of kids - the looks on some of the kids faces when the Tech End started singing with the drum at 2.50 pm was a picture - sure many had never been in a football ground before - hopefully we have captured a few long term and they will keep coming back now, especially as they had a birds eye view so close to the action - the club need to repeat this ASAP. |

Re: Reaction vs Dag and Red
i defo like Bevs and i think he could be a top candidate for player of the season , but in his mid 30s he is always getting sub'd half way into the 2nd half , i was so pleased he came on when he did today 30 odd mins to go fresh legs at that point full of running when the ops are tiring he run Daggers ragged they could'nt handle him defo an impact player and good on the new manager recognising his strengths and limitations and he scored the winner , good game good win against a form side great substitutions at a good time great 3 points , good decision making from Yosser, hope he gets it right for the next game and makes the neccessary improvments , Dagger keeper was really good some great saves , we could ave had a few today but for some glaring miss'es aswell , COYRs

Re: Reaction vs Dag and Red
Mentioned it on the live thread at half time that we had no impetus in the first half and were only focused on passing side to side. I also thought our passing, when it mattered, was poor.
Second half much better especially when the subs came on. We had a bit more about us and were more forceful going forward. Jennings put some decent crosses into the box and Beavon was lively. I thought Beavon was excellent when he came on, and it was good to see that Hughes made the subs nice and early to ensure an impact could be made. Tollitt better in second half but can see why he hasn't played thought his passing first half was poor but it maybe just from lack of games as it improved in the second. Wright, positionally, is great but finishing has to be some of the worse I've seen. The open goal should of hands down been a goal or at least hit the target. He stuck another over the bar from 3 yards out (I know the ball came to him quickly but should have done better). Today was typical Wrexham, if we play our remaining games like we played in the first half we'll be lucky to get playoffs but play like we did in the second half and we've got every chance of winning it. Its all about which Wrexham turns up and whether we can play like that for 90mins. Last edited by Outertowner; 9th February 2019 at 19.37:15.. |
