Brian Carey: "While I'm delighted by the result, I was
fearing it was going to be another one of those days. I thought I might be
sitting here discussing a penalty decision that wasn't given to us, but
thanks to Jeff's goal it hasn't come back to be an issue. We have players
who have been busting a gut in training and with the reserves, to get the
chance to get out onto the pitch. Matty Done is one of them and today he
came on to good effect. There has always been a great spirit throughout the
placed and we are certainly no doom and gloom club. For team spirit we would
be top of the league and that played a big part today. I don't suppose Jeff
can believe he has scored the winner as he doesn't get many, but hey, this
is only the first result, there is still plenty to do and a long way to go.
There is still a lot of football to be played and teams around us will pick
up results that you might not expect, nothing can be taken for granted. It
will chop and change week after week, but we have to maintain what we are
doing and this is only the beginning. Our discipline was excellent today,
and one or two will have looked at us in the last few weeks and said we
don't have any discipline at all, with players getting sent off left, right
and centre. But credit to the players today, because we asked them to be
mindful of that. I was also pleased with the new lads, because it's not easy
coming straight into the side, but they all contributed very well."

Paul Trollope: "It was a performance that lacked
quality. We had a few spells when we got a hold of the game, but we lacked
quality with the final shot, pass or cross too many times. We've hauled
ourselves into a half decent position over the last week, but we lacked in
too many areas today and too many times we fizzled out in the Wrexham half.
It wasn't good enough - we deserved nothing from the game and Wrexham
thoroughly deserved their victory. The expectancy was there for us to win
today, but it reminded me of what happened last season which is a real
concern. Some of the players out there are the same ones, so it tells us we
haven't learned as a group." [Source:
