I went with my partners eldest who is a West Ham fans and sees things a little differently. His thoughts were that the ref was rubbish and bottled the sending off of Mullin, that we were very niaive and predictable and that we were probably just the better side but a scoredraw would have been the fairest result. He also mentioned how lightweight we looked against them.
On the long journey back to Thanet we were trying to figure out why we never looked like scoring. What we thought was that we made it too easy for Wrexham.
When we were attacking, especially in the second half we would attack down one wing, the Wrexham defence would drift across, we would stop, turn pass back and across to the other wing and the defence would stuff across that way. Towards the end they were drifting before we had started the process of changing wings leaving huge gaps in the centre but nobody took a chance to run into those gaps. We just became so predictable. A few shots from distance, runs into the box would have given their defence something to think about. The sort corners were another example. We were never going to win an aerial fuel, but they were putting 3 men just in front of Jones for the corners, a long one every so often, even if it were put to the far side of / edge of the box would have stopped that, but we never tried anything different.
Our defence was excellent today. If they hadn't had that lucky break for the first, we wouldn't have conceded the second and apart from that we looked pretty secure.
On the way back to the car we were chatting with some Wrexham fans and they felt the same (except they saw the Mullin incident differently).
Overall we were look good for finishing at the top end of the table, another day we would have won that. There were some good lessons there, and we have proved good at learning our lessons. I think we will be in the mix at the end of the season, but my feeling is we will be in a group fighting for the 3rd promotion spot behind Stockport and Mansfield. We could as easily finish 8th as 3rd though as I think it will be quite tight at the end.
