We should have won it says Wrexham skipper

NEIL TAYLOR bemoaned his luck in front of goal after twice going close against Eastwood Town.
The Wrexham captain, who got his hands on the FA Cup on Friday, was one of a number of players who failed to put the ball in the back of the net in the goal-less draw.
"I should have stuck it in twice, and so should a couple of the other lads, but it just wasn't going to go in," said Taylor.
"I probably had too much time to think about what I was going to do with the shot. If I had put it either side of him I'd have scored but I hit it straight at the keeper.
"And the first one I felt I should have scored off the one-two, as it sat up nicely for me.
"But you have these days when it isn't going to go in and I am sure quite a few of the lads will be saying they should have scored.
"That was the way it was and credit to Gavin Ward as he made saves when Eastwood had chances.
"Second half it was all us, it was just a case of putting it in the net but we didn't."
Taylor wants Wrexham to finish the job off in tomorrow's replay at Coronation Park.
"We have definitely been given a good game. It is never going to be easy," said Taylor.
"They came here and did what we thought they would do and at the end we should have won - but we haven't lost.
"That is the way we are looking at it.
"Apart from the last half-an-hour I don't think they did just sit with ten men behind the ball, but you couldn't expect them to come out at us all game.
"It is only half-time, we have got to go and do a job there which we should have done today but we haven't lost."
Taylor switched to a central midfield position in the absence of injured duo Andy Fleming and on-loan Joe Allen and he added: "I really don't mind where I play.
"I have played different positions under every manager that has been here.
"The gaffer asked me if I could play in there and I said I will play wherever you want.
"As long as I am in the team and playing that is all I want."
