PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

Denis Smith: "If you look at it, can you say that they put great passes together? They have massed bodies behind the ball and relied on breakaways. They waited for us to fall over or give it them, and then breakaway. If you look on possession, we've won the game. It's a very hard game to analyse. Did they try and pass and work hard? I would say yes they did. Were they naive with their defending? Yes at times. It's a strange result. In the first-half the first two times that they came into our half, they scored. The in the second-half, they did it again. It wasn't particularly good build-up play; it was just getting the ball out and seeing that happened. That's frustrating. If you put all they plays into a computer, it would probably come out and say that we should have won, but we haven't. We have to get onto the next game but we can't forget about getting beaten in this manner. That's twice now that we have played the pretty football but lost. But I'm still not one of those people who say's right lets launch the ball. We still need to get the job one, but at the moment I'm not sure how. Having said that, before next weekend I'll have found out." [Source: Wrexham AFC]

Neale Cooper: "That was just what we needed. The lads were magnificent today and I am delighted for them to end the run of bad results away from home. Antony Sweeney was immense for us today and deserved his two goals and I also thought Michael Nelson was superb - back to how he was playing last season. Every goal was well made and we got what we deserved for extreme hard work and some pure quality football." [Source: Hartlepool United FC]
