Denis Smith: "It was difficult not to improve in the
second half. If you don't play for 90 minutes, you don't win it's as simple
as that. You've got to play for the full 90 minutes to get something. I was
not impressed with the first-half, when we seemed to find it hard to
motivate ourselves. It shouldn't be necessary to speak to the players like I
did at half-time. A few things were said during the break, and we didn't
look like the same team in the second-half but that doesn't make me feel any
better. The last thing that we needed tonight was extra time, and with the
game against Grimsby coming up on Saturday, I left both Darren Ferguson and
Mark Jones on longer than I wanted to originally. Nothing good came out of
the game tonight, but I want promotion at the end of the season. Playing so
many games is not ideal preparation to achieve something."

Kenny Jackett: "That was a big night for Rory and he's
done well. We've been pleased with him, he's young and is going to be a very
good forward for the club. We knew Wrexham would make it tough for us, but
we got the job done and now there's another cup final to look forward to on
Sunday." [Source:

Leon Britton: "They made us work in the second half and we were
hanging on at the end. We knew they were a good team, the first goal was so
important for us. Then it was great for Rory to score, we've all been
wanting him to get off the mark. All the lads have had belief in him,
hopefully that's the first of many." [Source:
