Hartlepool boss disappointed to be denied win at Wrexham

But the manager said there was frustration that they did not come away from a rainswept Racecourse Ground with maximum points.

Jonathan Franks hit the bar on the hour while Devante Rodney failed to convert a fantastic opening shortly afterwards.

“I think the players are happy with a clean sheet, that’s three in the last four games,” said Harrison.

“Clean sheets mean a lot to defenders and goalkeepers, but the lads are disappointed not to have won the game - we did enough to win it.

“It wasn’t a dominant performance like Maidstone, but we did enough to win it.

“We put some great balls across the box and had a good opening for Devante, Franksy hit the bar too and we have had some great dead-play delivery from Devs.

“Franksy has probably hit it too true and it’s come back off the bar and with Devante, I think he was surprised to get the ball there.

“It’s disappointing, but nice to feel disappointed coming to a big National League club like Wrexham and only getting a point.

“It’s pleasing that the players are disappointed, I don’t want people celebrating a point – we want to do better than that.”

The point moved Pools up to 17th and lifted confidence still further ahead of Saturday’s TV test at Leyton Orient.

“It’s a great point on the back of Saturday’s win over Dagenham,” said Harrison.
