Blimey, that wasn't fun to watch. Deserved to win but it could easily have been a different result. We're light up front now. Let's hope McBurnie was rested. We moved the ball around really well at times tonight but the final shot or pass was often wanting. We also were slow around their box and took too many touches and too much time to create something or have a pop.
Davies - 7 - Didn't have a great deal to do. Came for one throw in and flapped a bit but his penalty save was the turning point.
Osborn - 7.5 - Best game for us for a long time. I like his low had passes into the forwards. Why haven't we been seeing more of that. Did well tonight, up and down and involved in most things, including setting up the first. Can also take a corner.
Robinson 8 - Thought he was superb all night. Got forward well first half and it was him and Osborn linking up which caused them a lot of problems first half. Solid at the back.
Egan - 6 - A bit all over the shop at times but did well winning headers on corners. There were a couple of iffy moments at the back.
Anel - 5 - Sure, great finish for the goal and did well going forward but he was a mess at the back. It might not have been a pen (debatable I think) but wtf was he thinking. Also a couple of wild challenges and one mad charge out for a header which left a huge gap behind him.
Basham - 6 - Did a job at RWB but struggled with it a fair bit after the first 25 minutes. We did look for solid when he moved inside.
Coulibaly - 6 - Decent debut. Looks tidy on the ball and offers himself. Bit less comfortable when pressed and defensively the jury is still out. Still, looks like he can at least come on and help us from the bench.
Berge - 6.5 - Mixed as per usual. Dangerous when running at the opposition and put some nice passed in but takes far too long on the ball. Wants an extra touch all the time and needs to hit things first time (like the well taken goal)
McAtee - 7 - Made a few bad decisions first half but also looked lively. Kept going and helped finish them off. Involved in most things we did well.
Ndiaye - 6 - The drop in form continues. It's weird. He's still putting in the work rate but seems to have lost his confidence on the ball. Didn't hold his run first half and needs to offer more with the ball at his feet. Had chances to run at players but instead chose to lay it off.
Sharp - 6.5 - He had chances tonight and should have done better with them. He was also involved in most of our better play and did a good job of holding the ball up and linking up play. Seems to work well with McAtee. Cool finish to win the game.
Subs:
Norwood - 5.5 - Stupid tackle for the penalty and struggled to get up to game speed. Looked to be more ambitious with the ball which helped move us forward quickly.
Lowe - 6 - Did ok. Added more energy and pushed us up down the left.
Hecky - 6 - 32 shots tonight and we looked like we'd been told to shoot more (albeit much of the finishing was terrible first half). Got there in the end and thankfully avoided extra time.
Wrexham weren't quite the force as they are at home and we were so wasteful infront of goal but they always threatened to cause us a problem. Mullin again caused Egan and especially Anel far too many problems.
Fleetwood 1 Wednesday 0.
