They're one of the most oiled sides I can remember. On paper their team is pretty solid/average but as a team they certainly are impressive and full of confidence. I think someone will turn them over soon and they'll fall away a bit. I'm still annoyed by that game yesterday, especially with the ref and the such poor defending for the first goal. I hope we learn from that. I must say though I really enjoy this style of play, think it suits us and a great base to build a squad around.

Not going to stir up the 2 parky/Wrexham fans by mentioning Phil but we need to remember.... We had just 2 outfield players out there yesterday with much more than a season's experience against a side full of vastly experienced pros who have been together for a couple of years. We haven't signed anyone for a year and have seen several first team players sold since then to pay the wages.....everyone else in L1 has signed at least 5 players this summer. IMO we are doing very well to compete as the position is not dissimilar to Bolton a few seasons ago in L1 when they were being slaughtered every week. Final thing - I like Wing as… More →

I felt fairly enthused despite the result. Played some good stuff, and tbh things didn't quite go our way at times - a couple of loose balls just out of reach, rebounds falling for them etc. 3rd goal for them would be called a foul 9 times out of 10, looked clear contact on Kelvin. Obviously played into their hands by letting them go 2 up and then they low blocked and we struggled to find a way through - though we still hit the crossbar twice and forced a cracking save from their keeper As you say considering the circumstances I think we’ve had a strong start to the season. Nothing but praise at this stage for Selles from me Knibbs… More →

I couldn't watch the game unfortunately but the result wasn't unexpected. We are a bit of a soft touch and will have to get used to well organised ,more physical sides overpowering us. The hope for this week is obviously for the takeover to happen but just as importantly for us to keep our best players Wing and Bindon by the time the transfer window closes. Unfortunately the loan players that I see us linked to tend to be young ball-playing attacking midfield and forward players (we already have plenty of them) when really our need is a couple of stronger full-backs (will Yiadom ever be fit enough for a whole season?) a similar… More →

They didn't get Mullin to move from League 1, the summer after he'd just been promoted with Cambridge as League 2 top scorer, to the National League by offering him flowers and chocolates. I don't begrudge them at all, but they've spent a lot of money to get where they are.

Wrexham may not have payed big transfer fees but they've certainly bought success with huge wages for the level they were playing at for players too good for it. I know they're aging, but Fletcher? McClean? You don't fly up the leagues like that paying the going rate and being sensible with signings.

Disappointing result but I thought we actually played ok. Wrexham were clinical with the chances they had whereas we look toothless in attack and ran out ideas. I really wasn't happy with the stand arrangement, I was near the middle aisle that went down to the front but there was no exit. There was apparently an aisle mid way down the stand but it just looked like another row of seats. Terrible stadium design not helped by poor stewarding that should have kept that exit aisle clear. Decent prematch in the Royal Oak, it seemed to be Royals takeover with very few Wrexham fans. Getting away wasn't great. The trains to Chester were… More →

We`ve now played 2 of the hardest away games we`re likely to have all season, next up is current leaders Stockport, then Bolton, then relegated Rotherham followed by Barnsley, That fixture computer hasn`t done us too many favours, but hey we have to play them all sooner or later so best to get them out of the way now.
