DRAGONS SUFFER NEW YEAR HANGOVER
By Mark Williams
45-60 minutes: The half time break
allowed Denis Smith to reorganise the shape of the side that was lost since
the departure of Shaun Pejic midway through the first half. Carlos Edwards
went on a run that took him past four defenders before it was brought to an
abrupt end with by a lunge from Paul Smith. Darren Ferguson swung in the
free kick but Dennis Lawrence’s header back across goal went about a yard
wide. Wrexham did not have to wait long for the equaliser when Brian Carey
was unmarked in the area to head home four minutes after the restart. The
move was started by Carey when he laid the ball off to Darren Ferguson just
inside the Wednesday half and the tall defender made his way to the box and
by this time Ferguson had fed Paul Barrett on the right. Barrett looked up
and picked out the unmarked Carey with a good cross that the defender
glanced in across Lucas from twelve yards. Wrexham continued to pressure the
Wednesday defence and almost made it two goals in as many minutes. Dennis
Lawrence met Darren Ferguson’s corner with a well directed header that was
destined for the top corner but Robbie Mustoe rose at the last minute to
head the ball away for a corner that came to nothing. Score 1-1 with Wrexham
back on top. |

PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES |
Denis Smith: "I’m disappointed, as I thought it was an entertaining game and I thought deserved something out of it. Perhaps a draw would have been a fair result. They have come and had a go at us, so give them some credit as well. It was a shame that Shaun Pejic had to go off injured, as with Craig and Steve already out, I have 75 minutes of the game remaining, so do I put on an 18-year-old or switch Jim back into defence. The reason I bought Jim into the side was to mark the lad who would was to go on and score their first goal! The second was a poor back pass, which was only cleared up to midfield, and they built up from there. Overall though it was a good game and Sheffield Wednesday came here to play, which entertained the crowd. Others have come here and not wanted to play, so I have no complaints. If we continue to play like that, then we will do well and anyone who has been here today can’t say we didn’t perform well. People who have paid their money today have had value for it.” [Source: Wrexham AFC] |
Chris Turner: "When you're on one of these runs in football it becomes difficult. I don't think we deserved some of the results we've got and each week it goes by it ebbs at players' confidence and self-belief. We counter-attacked well and looked good in Wrexham's half. We missed a couple of chances in the first half and Mark Robins hit the post. They pushed us back in the second half and we were wondering if it would be another week like Tranmere. But the players dug in, worked very hard and had the break that we haven't had for a number of weeks. We've been playing reasonably well of late and January is going to be a big month for us, with three home games. This was one of the hardest [matches this month] and we've won away from home. Hopefully we can set ourselves up for a good push." [Source: Sheffield Wednesday FC] |
