I don't think anyone on this thread is denying that it was a really good away performance - it definitely was. But they kind of 'rag dolled' us and their fans walked away trying to work out how they didn't win

If the same game was replayed 10 times? I'd say Wrexham win 7, Draw 2, We win 1...

Some posters, I'd be one, look at things through desperation to get out of this warped league with its 1+1 promotion chance out of 24. That's fricking tough. So looking for ways we can be a dominant team...
Laddo put it well above ''The reason we didn't show enough going forward for 90 mins is because at the moment we aren't good enough or performing well enough to do it against top sides'' It's very early days, but that's a bit of an uncomfortable position to be in when you're desperate to regain league status in a 1+1 league, with Chesterfield already ripping through their matches, let alone Wrexham.

I made my case though in this thread - we will go as far as Rodrigues and Roberts can take us. Two have great seasons, we're top. One has a great season we're top 3. Neither...we can forget it.
Yeah I appreciate what you're saying but I don't think we were outplayed or ragdolled as you say. Wrexham had the best of the chances and game but seeing as it's their first one of the season infront of their own fans with all the hullabaloo surrounding them plus them bringing in players from leagues above, this was always going to be hardest away game of the season and by and large we did ok. Other teams would have got pumped 5 or 6 nothing but we drew one all. I don't see a good dogged, defensive performance as being outplayed, yes they had the best of the game as you say but they were always going to on that particular night.

Roberts looked knackered when he came on and we couldn't get Rodriguez into the game in the second half but it was a bitty half until they scored which got them going again. I don't really know what people expect, if they expect us to go away to Wrexham with the circumstances of that night and be all over them then they're deluded. On nights like that you take what you can on the break and defend for your lives, the way people are talking we lost 5 nil but last time I checked it was one all. Good result for me away to the league favourites and now we have a run to really get a head of steam. I don't believe we'll win the league but do believe we'll get into the playoffs and then we'll have to see what happens.
