Brady ‘takes full responsibility’ after ‘soft’ Cobblers ‘rolled over’ against Wrexham
Jon Brady accepted ‘full responsibility’ for Cobblers’ defensive horror show against Wrexham on Saturday, admitting his side simply ‘rolled over’ during the 4-1 defeat.
Brady’s teams have always prided themselves on their intensity and competitiveness during his three and a half year reign at Sixfields but they were way off the pace at the Racecourse, conceding four soft goals all in alarmingly similar fashion
Ryan Barnett created all four goals with his delivery from the right as Cobblers repeatedly failed to stop cross and defend their box properly. They were also overpowered and overrun in midfield and out-muscled in too many individual battles.
“It was nowhere near good enough,” said Brady. “We lost so many duels all over the pitch. We were way too soft. It was disappointing and I don’t feel we have been that easy to roll over in my time.
“Wrexham are a really good side. They have top strikers and top players all over the pitch but we are in the game at 2-1 and we miss a chance to make it 2-2 just before their third. The goalkeeper makes a great save to tip it around the post from Tyler (Roberts).
