Does anyone have any thoughts on the new lad Crockett? - I know he only played around 12 to 15 mins but just wondered if he made any contribution. (Couldn't watch the match as I am on a ship in the Caribbean)

He wasnt on long enough to make any impression on the game..

A few nice touches - looked tidy enough.

I like Nemane….but couldn’t comment on his knockers!

He has a pair ! Durham and one other!

Opposition view for what its worth. Nemane had a far better game than Langstaff who was completely anonymous bar his early chance.

Langstaff didn't cover himself in glory by missing an easy chance created by Crowley. However the frustration for me with Nemane isn't his workrate or his inability to defend. As a winger or as a wing back his decision making and final ball are not good enough. It may be unfair to compare him with Jodi Jones as Jones is playing at a level below his ability but the discrepancy between the assists provided by each player tells you all you need to know. If Langstaff is relying on Nemane for service he will be anonymous.

Nemane's final ball is much more standard for a League Two player, though. You've got to remember we only have Jones because we took a chance on him after he missed three years through injury - he isn't a fourth tier footballer, and Nemane wouldn't be either if he had a more consistent final ball.

I thought he played well even more out of position than usual on Saturday and is a very useful member of the squad.

We both agree that Jones is an exception but Austin, Crowley and even Langstaff (cross for McGoldrick v Newport} are better crosses of the ball than Nemane, which is his principal role. I certainly don't object to his place in the squad but for me his isn't consistent enough to start.

But Nemane is much, much quicker than any of those and his main threat is getting in behind and cutting the ball back - while the others, particularly Jones and Crowley, have the quality to deliver a cross without needing to dart in behind their full back (Jones can do both, which is why he's so good).

Basically, if Nemane could deliver the ball consistently in addition to his pace and really clever movement in behind, he'd be playing in the Championship.

Interesting that an article in the Athletic today says that Wrexham spent Friday devising a plan in training to stop Jones. Essentially they decided to have two men on him wherever he was on the pitch
We're going to see this in games against other opponents I guess. It should give the chance for Nemane and Crowley to have more opportunities to attack
