It's a good point. Dalby is still young, and he has looked really good in spells. He can improve.

He's only young, his balls will drop soon enough.

Fantastic cup tie with end to end stuff.
Wrexham guilty at times of trying to play out of tricky defensive positions, but I suspect that may have been Parky urging them to play an expansive game.
First half should have been a scoreline that Mansfield could never recover from, but luck was against us and Mansfield roared back in the 2nd half and made a real game of it.
No doubt at all that we deserved the win, but it could easily have ended up in a draw.
The handball non penalty was scandalous and definitely should have been a red for the tackle on Cannon.
I really feel for Cannon. He's upped his game recently and was definitely playing himself into the lineup and now what looks like a tough ankle injury. That's certainly not going to help him!
Congrats to Dalby too. I've always liked him but yesterday he really looked the part, strong and decisive.
Even if a few different decisions might have given him a hat trick, he's really showing us what he's capable of. How on earth will defences be able to contain both him and Mullin at the same time. And let's not forget his assist for Mullin's goal.
In defense, Okonkwo continues to make the difference for us. Even though the niggling little back 3 errors are still there, he is able to clean up a lot of the resulting messes and we just look so strong.
Forde's back, Mendy is playing a step up, Parky's tactics are spot on.... I could ramble on and I'm clearly still on a high - Long may it continue!

Good strikers hit the target, really good strikers hit the corners.

Dalby is a confidence player and now he's got one he'll get plenty more. Massive opportunity for him v Gillingham with Mullin out.
