PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

Denis Smith: "It's a game we should have won after hitting the woodwork on a couple of occasions but give their keeper credit. He possibly made the best save of his career when stopping Steve Roberts, along with other saves to deny both Craig Morgan and Mark Jones. It'll take us time to get our rhythm back, but against a team which has won their last three matches and had a 1 million pound player on the bench, we were the better team. Having Danny back in the middle made a difference, and Ben Foster looks like what a keeper should be. He makes the right decisions at the right time, he comes for the right balls in the box and he's got a good kick on him. He didn't really have many saves to make but from what we have seen in training, he can do that as well. I saw him for one morning in training and immediately told John Rudge, I'll take him now if you want! After what they [Stoke] had said about him, I can see why they rate him so highly. Juan will be back but Danny will be missing at Walsall. What we need to do is try and get a settled team. People are still getting used to those around them - look at Mark Jones, he's really settling into that role. Carlos has come back although it can't be easy to play with that cast on his arm, but we are now gradually starting to get a settled team. I thought Doncaster were a good side but we were better." [Source: Wrexham AFC]

Dave Penney: "To be fair the pitch was awful but they knew how to play on it and took advantage of that. They knocked it long and we could not with the players we had. But you can't take it away from them they played well and Andy had to pull a world class save off to keep us level." [Source: Doncaster Rovers FC]
Steve Roberts: "At least I can have drink with my brother tonight with getting some stick. He played well and I thought he had scored with that scorcher!" [Source: Doncaster Rovers FC]

Morell34: "Thought we started off sluggishly today with the last week taking it's toll emotionally and physically. Just general things like Fergie dwelling on the ball and Danny Williams ball watching but we really improved second half. The defence was really tight but up front we were static and immobile. We really got going second half and Mark Jones got more into the game. We held our own against a decent side, could have taken the points too, showing just how much of a false position we are in, now we've got players and confidence back."

paulm: "Foster looked very competent. We shaded it against a team who have won 3 in a row and looked a decent side. Starting to look a bit more promising. What about that save off Steve Robert's thunderbolt? One of the best saves seen at The Racecourse in a few years."
