What were the highlights of the Wrexham vs. Pompey match?
Wrexham 2 Pompey 1 and games just just finished with massive celebrations from Wrexham because they just managed to hold on and that is the size of it they just managed to hold on it was one of those games which at the end of the season you look at you open your program and
for the last game and you look at all the results through the season and there are games that you remember quite vividly and you're reminded of them and there are games then that you sort of vaguely remember And then there are games that you find you've kind of relegated into oblivion in your own mind. And I think that that game, Rex and Pompey, is one that we'll struggle to remember in any way because it was entirely unremarkable. It was a game that they won because they were at home playing. We were tired. They were probably equally tired, let's remember, but they were at home. And that meant that they just had a bus ride to the ground, whereas we had a right schlep of a round trip. I suspect that they, I don't know, that we went up the night before and then had to kill a day
in North Wales in preparation for the game.
How did fatigue impact the players' performance in the game?
And that's just not the same as waking up in your own bed, just being at home with your family through until whatever time they show up at the ground for away games, five o'clock, six o'clock, whatever. And we've been packing our overnight bags up in hotels. It makes all the difference. It has to, especially four out of five games within two weeks with the players not only feeling their fatigue, but knowing that if they can, they've got to save something for Saturday, which is what have we got? Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. OK, most of those players was an unchanged side. It was the same side that ran themselves into the ground on Saturday. And here they are now on a Tuesday night after having probably done a great long coach trip, five hours, something like that.
And then spent a difficult day waiting for the game to happen. That was the difference between the two teams in my book. If you edit the goals out, OK, we'll come back to that in a second because, yeah, OK, we conceded two headers, which some people will make a big remark out of. We aren't a tall team and it will be good to have Shaughnessy back. No offence to Ogilvy, who is superb as a centre-half. But he just doesn't have the aerial dominance. He's never going to. He's not really a centre-half. He's a good centre-half. He's a very good left-back. But we're covered in that department.
What statistical insights can we gather from the match?
Again, we'll have a word about Swanson in a moment. But no, take the goals out of that game. And it was a drab stalemate, a goalless draw. It wasn't particularly exciting. there were some good performances across the park from them and From us as well. I thought Harvey Blair in particular and stood out but on the whole we were worth a point and I think everybody is going to be saying the same thing after the game that we were worth a point what comments I have seen in the few minutes towards the end of the game and after the game the feeling is that they were delighted to come away with three points and I did see Their manager, Phil Parkinson, punched the air as if they'd won something spectacular when the final whistle went.
And I think that really kind of summed up their feeling. That was not a game between one team that is really pressing for honours and promotion to the Premier League. and another team who are, to all intents, struggling to avoid relegation to League One. If those two things were going to happen, and they're not, then you've got two divisions, two tiers between those two teams. And there weren't two tiers between those two teams, at least not during that game. Maybe across the whole season, you could slip a cigarette paper between the two of them. But on this occasion, in the course of that match, there was nothing to choose between the teams. Actually, if anything, on statistics, Pompey came out absolutely flying colors ahead of them one that caught my eye is that we had 15 corners in that game 15 corners we had and they had three and that that doesn't necessarily sum everything up but it certainly tells some of us that we were going down the wings
