Saunders craving clean sheets

Wrexham manager Dean Saunders is not satisfied with his team's run of four wins on the trot, pointing to a lack of clean sheets as the reason behind his discontent.

Speaking to the Daily Post about the 3-1 win at Weymouth, the Dragons' boss said: "I was disappointed we conceded a goal at the end, which would have been suicide had it been 0-0, but overall it's a good three points for us."

Weymouth, whose manager John Hollins was suspended two days before the game, put in a stubborn performance, even giving the Dragons problems in the second half.

"I'm really pleased because we had a bit of pressure on us in the second half," said Saunders.

"We scored the first goal, which could have affected them since they don't have a manager at the moment, but to be fair they came at us a bit in the second half.

"I was a bit worried before the game about the size of our team and whether we could resist that sort of long ball game, but they did the job, we got through that bad patch and a bit of class told at the other end.

"In these sort of games if you don't make silly mistakes you stay in it.

"They had clear-cut chances and they missed, but we stuck at it and resisted their long balls into the box by making sure if we didn't get the first one we'd get the second.

"I told the players that eventually we'd get a chance at the other end or they would make a mistake and that's what happened.

"We could have gone on and scored a few more at the end."
