Thoughts from the Gaffer on three points against 1876 Bangor

Well done on another three points last night, we got off to a great start with a goal from Jordan Evans in the first three minutes, but our game becomes scrappy?

M.A. "Yes pleased with the start, it’s something we always say for games, but after that we became very sloppy and I thought Bangor were better than us in their press and passing. I felt they didn’t really create much but we needed to be better. Going in at half time winning 2-0 was flattering to be honest"

Danny Warren scoring his 13th league goal of the season and then he has had to come off at half time, but Oli is there to make that jump into the game?

M.A. "Yes delighted for Danny to score again and taking him off was just a precaution really. Oli is more than capable than stepping up and contributed with a goal too. He had a good presence up there"

They say it is always difficult playing against 10 men and it is difficult to break them down?

M.A. "Yes they were better than us in the first half and then they sat in and made it difficult for us to create clear chances and obviously trying to catch us on the counter"

They had their chance with John Barry nearly catching Keighan out with an audacious strike from the half way line and also conceding one is disappointing as you always want that clean sheet?

M.A. "Yes it came from us giving the ball away centrally and I think everyone in the ground saw the opportunity was on. It would have been a special goal. I think Keighan had it covered though! Yes that was disappointing and again something we wanted to avoid.

It's nice to go into the weekend knowing the game has been played, we look ahead to another Friday night game this time a trip to Denbigh, what are you expecting from that game?

M.A. "I think it will be very similar to Friday so we will have to be much better"

Lastly you also now have a nearly full strength squad back and it gives you some decision headaches?

M.A. Yes, just Ryan out at the moment and it’s a good headache and as I always say to the group they all contribute over the season. When given opportunities it’s up to players to take them"
