Denis Smith: "The frustrating part of today's game was
not scoring when we were on top. We had three chances, including one that
Lee McEvilly should have put away, so to come off after 45 minutes with the
score still 0-0 was frustrating. Second half was much more even, but I felt
that we gave away a poor goal. Fair enough we've got ourselves back into the
match and strangely enough just at a time when I was looking to bring on
Robbie Foy. I did sit him down to see if the goal lifted us and I felt that
we did go for the win at the end. The only trouble with doing that is it
leaves you exposes in defence. Okay, Lee McEvilly should have scored early
on today but he works his socks off for us. He always looks like scoring, so
I've no complaints. Over the two games against Peterborough we've found them
a hard side to breakdown and difficult to play against. We are at a strange
part of the season, as fans start to get frustrated if you are not near the
top, but if you are top they expect you to gone on and win the League. There
is a long way to go in the campaign, so I want us to stay focused on the job
in hand. We look like we are starting to get players fit again and if we can
do that then I'm looking forward to seeing how good this team can really
become." [Source:

Mark Wright: "The boys were up at 6am to travel
because we couldn't stay overnight and that's a long day for them. I'm not
making excuses, but they looked as if they were still in the coach in the
first half. Certainly in the second half we took the game to them and did
the things I wanted. Wrexham really had the better of it in the first half.
In the second half we certainly did and I think we could have won the game.
He's (McEvilly) one of those players you'd want in your side because he's
got a physical presence, he gets after people and lets you know you've been
in a match. I've got a lot of time for him and when we heard he was leaving
Rochdale even we enquired about him. Denis (Smith) has got some good
players, Wrexham are a good side and you can see why they've been so strong
at home. They are a very, very confident side here, so to bounce back at a
hard place like this is a major plus for us."

Danny Williams then missed a sitter for Wrexham after Ferguson picked
him out just beyond the back post but Williams could only place his shot
across the face of goal despite only being six yards out.
Peterborough allowed a Wrexham throw in
on the left to be worked to Ferguson and as
he travelled along the edge of the area he played a perfectly weighted
inside pass for Mark Jones. It was brilliant vision from Ferguson and
Jones timed his run to perfection and his low shot beet Tyler but struck
the near post. Fortunately for Wrexham the ball rebounded across the
face of goal and struck the rushing back Burton who could do nothing as
the ball ended up in the net.
