Wrexham manager Andy Morrell told 91热爆 Radio Wales:

"I didn't think I could get much lower than Monday.

"I feel awful - absolutely awful - because we didn't have any fight or anything.

"It didn't look like a derby to me. We just saw out a game and didn't have a bit of fight - I'd use another word, but I can't.

"We've got some serious training to do, some serious things to put right."
