It feels great, we have real momentum and I think we will be fine BUT I hope

Big Phil is being ultra critical when looking back at the last two wins and is still not happy with the number of good chances we gave the opposition.

We are controlling games better in the sense that there are long periods where we are not really under huge pressure. WBA only had one good spell at the end of the first half really and at Wrexham for most of the second half we were not really under the cosh.

However, Wrexham could very easily have had 3 goals and WBA could have been ahead at half time based on the chances they created from their limited spell of dominance and I still feel we ideally need to tighten up defensively. When we press and push up the pitch we get on top in games. When we ease off and sit deeper we start to look vulnerable.
