Buckle not grumbling with Wrexham point

Hatters boss Paul Buckle felt that the goalless draw with Wrexham was most definitely a point gained for his evolving side, writes Mike Simmonds.

Town bounced back from their embarrassing 3-0 defeat at Alfreton the previous weekend to record a first clean sheet of the campaign at Kenilworth Road, as they remained fifth in the Conference table against a side who had won their last four matches.

Buckle said: “I think it’s a point gained this week, I think the points were dropped last week (at Alfreton), we know that.

“I’m certainly not going to grumble about a 0-0 against this team, it would be very wrong of me to say we’re disappointed.

“We go to win the game every week, but that team out there (Wrexham) has been built now for quite a while and they were 19 points ahead of us last year.

“We worked a miracle to beat them in the play-offs and any team that finishes anywhere near them will be in good working order.”

Both sides had chances to win late on as Lathaniel Rowe-Turner’s drive flew into the side-netting while Town goalkeeper Mark Tyler pulled off a fine double save to preserve the point.

Buckle added: “I think we had some unbelievable opportunities in the game, whether it was good defending by them or we wanted an extra touch.

“They had some good chances as well. It’s what you expect, you’re not going to get Wrexham come here and not get a chance on our goal.”
