Victories sometimes are lost by focusing too much on playing pretty football, yet it was a decent game - quite exciting in fact. I left the game feeling like my club is on the verge of finding the right path, let's make it clear - we won't win every game. Notts has never been a side that turns over opposition teams and we are in the National League for a reason. Wrexham played well, I thought they look good on the counter and played neat passing football. First half they had a tendency to drop to the floor in an attempt to break up the play or just disrupt it. It's probably the best team performance I have seen for quite a while, attacking wise we played very well. Wrexham caused some issues at the back, so early on in the season, I think those kind of misfortunes are natural. It's something Neal Ardley needs to stomp out over the course of the season. I absolutely agree with the harshness of benching some of the best performers from the Harrogate win, however, there might be a valid reason such as fitness or slight niggles. Back to the game, Regan Booty looks a class player. He threw his heart into the first half and I honestly feel he played well. I know some fault him for the goal conceded, yet even experienced players ball up and this is the second time he's played for us. Wes Thomas looked a threat, when you run with his type of pace, it's difficult to slow down to pick out the perfect pass. I felt every player tried, even Michael Doyle (although his work rate could be better). The team played as one, they seemed united in moving together and I feel the signs are promising. I think this team could become something special, provided everything continues to work in the right direction.

Some Wrexham fans are giving it 'large' on social media, going on about them being a big club and how Notts is Nottingham Forests B team - very weak banter at best. They're not a sleeping giant, just like us, we have found ourselves exactly where we belong but at least Nottingham isn't Wrexham. To the game, I just think Notts needs to control it by passing wisely. Wrexham has a few good players, they're a decent team, but nothing special. Exactly nothing to be afraid of, if they win it will either be down to being better on the day or poor defensive play by Notts. I am quite confident we could make it two back-to-back wins.
