Wrexham Ratings:

Probably a fair result. Wolves dominated for long periods but created very little against an extremely limited but organised and physically committed Wrexham side. When Kiefer Moore looks like one of the best players on the pitch you know that this is not the Prem anymore!

Sa - 5 Yet again I am thinking maybe he could have done better for the goal. Could he have come for the cross? Having decided not to come for the cross could he have done better with the header? The reality is that if he had stood still it probably would have hit him but he squatted to set himself to dive and sadly by the time he dived, (upwards), the powerfully headed ball had gone in over his, (lowered), head. { Drama (sp) did the same thing the other week effectively squatting down under the ball! }

He made a few saves but at the moment his, (and presumably the defense's), confidence must be low that there won't be a "soft" call conceded every week. V worrying.  Ps For this goal however 2 other players also failed to cover themselves in glory see anon.

Jackson 6 - A surprisingly solid game defensively and ok going forwards.  His touch is poor and his passing is erratic but in a limited way he was effective/adequate at Wrexham.

Djiga 7 - He was badly at fault for the goal, somehow losing a player several inches shorter than him and allowing him a free header from 6 yards out - (that Sa managed to dive underneath - to be fair it was headed v firmly and from that range it should go in!) In contrast to that though he hit the lovely ball that Armstrong ran onto to score Wolves opener and was his usual, (usual at lest for the last few months), imperious self throughout.  

Krejci 8 - Not only solid at the back against the big physical Moore but both passed well and contributed his now customary threat in the opposition's box. Despite inexplicable indifference towards him on SM he was/is clearly, ( along with the similarly underrated Andre), always going to be one of the very best players in the whole division.  The fact that at the start of the transfer window Wolves had under contract 2 of the best half a dozen or so players in the Champ and "found" in Djiga and Lopez 2 more of the best say 12 players in the division yet aren't romping away with the league tells you everything about the appalling nature of the rest of the squad - see comment on the transfer window earlier - and the inadequacies of the manager.

Toti 5 - Struggled with Kabore (sp) throughout but battled away gamely. Better than Jackson but not a player Wolves should consider as a first 11 player but maybe might do as a backup 4th choice CB/2nd or 3rd choice LB.

Andre 7 - So good on the ball in tight spaces, (often v close to the Wolves penalty area!), and so effective at breaking up play. Possibly plays with the handbrake on but given the lack of a competent partner he can trust he perhaps deliberately does not push on as much as he might given his obvious quality on the ball and as a passer. 

Munetsi 5 - Hard to know what to say differently to last time or the time before. A limited player who adds little offensively and offers little defensively. Often plays within himself so as to not do too much damage but mainly the game passes him by.

Gomes 5 - Struggled to get into the game. As stated many times previously Wolves' obvious, (to me at least),shortcoming is quality in the final third. Gomes needs to offer more if he is to be a first choice and certainly if Wolves are promoted 

Lopez 6 - Sadly especially in the first half he also offered very little and struggled with what he must now expect every week, close and physical marking. Wolves need to diversify its offensive options, so that sides can't think that they only have to mark/double mark Lopez to nullify Wolves. This might allow Lopez to enjoy a yard or two of space which will allow him to once again carry the side. BB I never doubted his football ability, (as with Trincao it was obvious he could play), but I, as I did with Trincao, doubted his human qualities. To be fair to him since, (allegedly reluctantly), agreeing to stay here this season he has rolled up his sleeves and produced some astonishing performances. To date he has managed to cope to a degree- less so over the last few weeks - with the physical aspects of the game. Full credit to him and the club for this. 

Mane 6 - clearly not a WF but the manager insists on playing him there. He produces moments of quality but nowhere near enough. His output this season has been inadequate. Like Gomes, Wolves desperately need him to step up both for this season and most certainly if Wolves are promoted, next.  

Armstrong 7 - Is showing the fans what the club knew they were buying. He is a solid Championship footballer and although not an obvious CF will score goals at this level especially if Wolves can play him as a 2nd forward off of a real number 9

Subs 

Said 6 - Again a player who produces moments but not enough. 

Doyle 6 - A better performance. He is a perfectly competent 6 - sitting next to Andre - but is not a 10. Another player the manager needs to learn to use correctly to optimise the "value" in the squad.  

Bueno 6 - Looked ok especially going forwards. I keep hoping he will prove his doubters wrong and blossom into a reliable performer not just at this level but above. Sadly the jury remains out on him

Neave - n/a

JRB - n/a.

Fair marking for players
But a not fair result
