PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

Denis Smith: “We have had a lot of the play, but not created as many chances as we would have liked. At one-nil down we just needed a bit of luck, but then they scored a second, deflected off the back of Brian Carey – it was very frustrating. It will take some convincing that the better side won, as I feel we deserved something out of the game. The first goal came from people not marking who asked them to. They (the players) decided to alter things out on the pitch, they said they had decided that. It’s a decision they have to make, but on this occasion it was the wrong one – that’s life! The pitch was fine to play on. The wind dropped and it was a super surface. We have had the play, but what we haven’t done is keep a cleansheet and scored some goals. We have to look at the front players and see what we can do about that. At the end of the game though people will look at the result and that’s all that matters!” [Source: Wrexham AFC]
Mark McGhee: "I am pleased that we continued the form we showed in our previous match at Notts County." [Source: Nationwide Football]
