Dibble errors cost Wrexham dear

Posted Wednesday, September 25, 2019 by PA

Wrexham remain without a National League win since August 13 after losing a 3-2 thriller at AFC Fylde on a night to forget for visiting keeper Christian Dibble.

The Dragons felt like their fortunes were changing eight minutes in when Jamie Lawlor drove in a loose ball from a free-kick.

But the home side were level a minute shy of the half-hour, though. Goalkeeper Dibble got in bother as he tried to deal with a back-pass and Danny Rowe nipped in to score.

The Welsh outfit regained the lead on the stroke of the half-time whistle, Jason Oswell converting after good work from Mark Harris.

Harris fired over as Wrexham looked to push clear, but Dibble made another error seconds before the hour as he failed to deal with Dan Bradley’s effort which brought the home side level.

Dan Lavercombe tipped a Harris header wide, before Dibble redeemed himself of sorts as he denied Bradley.

Dibble could do nothing as Nick Haughton cracked in a brilliant third (68) and the stopper did well to deny the same man as Fylde looked to make it safe amid a number of goalmouth scrambles.

Wrexham had a late appeal for handball in the box turned down as their bad fortune continued.
