It will be a different prospect for our home games.
And we played plenty of long balls yesterday. We were fortunate Wrexham were so open.
Looking at the highlights again, Wrexham were too lightweight - very little physicality. We won’t get it that easy every week.
A lot have said Wrexham were too lightweight but I think it was more a case of us being so fit/sharp and up for the battle. Fair play to GA. He identified one of our major weaknesses from last season and set about addressing it. If we press and battle like we did yesterday in every game we will give anyone a right tough game.
Completely agree. I said pre-match that my big hope was that we’d be sharper than them for all the work put in during pre-season. We were first to just about every loose ball and relentlessly pressed them. They way it tends to work is that usually tails off after the first few games as all teams get up to speed. It’s then down to the quality you have. Yesterday’s performance from all the new arrivals showed promise.
Another factor for Wrexham’s sluggishness could be jet lag. Seen a few posts on their forum about the effects lasting a lot longer than you’d expect. Basically for every hour of time difference the body needs an extra day of recovery. Never heard that length of time before but they’re claiming it’s case.
