Wrexham midfielder, Andy Cannon has opened up about his return from suspension against Notts County.

Andy Cannon signed for Wrexham last winter and went on to make 20 appearances as National League promotion was secured.

This season he has appeared eight times but a red card against Crawley Town scuppered his progress this season.

Just six minutes after being brought on by Phil Parkinson, the midfielder saw red. Despite his protests, he was given his marching orders and missed three games.

What has Andy Cannon said?

Despite missing the games, Cannon still wasn’t very pleased about the decision: “I know it was late but personally, I didn’t think it was a red card.”

The former Stockport County man had to wait 21 days to make his return to League Two action. He came into one of the biggest games of the season.

He made his seventh start of the season, and first since August, up against rivals Notts County last weekend.

Speaking to Leader Live, Cannon opened up about his return: “Then to get chucked back in for a game like that with Notts County was perfect.

“The atmosphere was great, it was three points and we played really well.”

The Englishman played his part as the Reds pulled off a 2-0 away win against their former National League rivals.

With that being said, Cannon was full of praise for the league and the opposition: “There is no easy game in this league. We have gone up a level and everyone brings something different.

“Notts County are a great team. They move the ball well but we had a game plan and we stuck to it.”

It is great to have players returning from suspension and injury. As the season goes on, the squad needs to be durable.

Despite all the injuries the Reds still find themselves up there in the table and long may that continue.
