No one denying that. Just said it's one of the pre game factors to take into account
Yeah, Watford are a better team than the league table shows at the moment. Wrexham aren't.
Agreed, from relegation back in 2001, it was a state of managed decline. I fell into this category but was also at uni in those dark days. Seen Marcus Tudgay and Sam Ricketts at my local Sainsbury’s when doing my shopping (we had Morecambe away in the cup) and genuinely couldn't care.
Watford did aim for the ball over the top, but I think they threatened most simply exploiting all that space in midfield. Kieffer Moore isn’t there for his pace let’s be honest, he’s there as a target man. Nullify him you nullify their threat.
Not so much a scalp, but that annoying shit team above their station that teams love knocking back down a peg or two. I think fans, more than teams/players/managers want to beat them for their sheer arrogance. I dont think it'll be in FL team talk on Friday about how big they are and how this is our Wembley and a big scalp if we can take it. But the fans forum, as will be with most forums this season, will be Kevin Keegan "love it if we went there and beat them" simply because they want to see them knocked back down! Theyre also bang average and I dont think any fan wants to go and get rolled over by bang average, overpaid, journeymen.Find it funny that people obsessed with Wrexham and how much they dislike them, then say they are annoyed by the notion that their fans say they are a scalp for some teams
Cardiff yes..... Wrexham not so much. A few years ago they were in L2 before relegation to NL in 2008 they averaged 4k. Never been very well supported since late 70s/80s when they had a brief 4 years in second for their one and only time at that level they averaged 14k, 10k, 6k and 4k.
Like other Welsh fans who hate England but don’t want to play in their own pyramid
How about nicking the dirge LIIIIIIIVVVERPOOL to DEEEEAAAADDPOOL?
We could just counter it with incessant sheep bleating. Moral high ground etc
Reminds me of one of Mitchell Johnsons worst ever days in cricket at Edgbaston. Every time he got the ball the entire crowd chimed in with MIIIIIITCHELLLLLLLLLL! MIIIIIITCHELLLLLLL! Had a shocker of a day!How about nicking the dirge LIIIIIIIVVVERPOOL to DEEEEAAAADDPOOL?
Quite common for fans to slow chant an opposition players name as a pisstake in US sports, especially baseball.
Crowd really got in his head!
Last time they were in level two, they had the same average crowd as they’re getting now.Cardiff yes..... Wrexham not so much. A few years ago they were in L2 before relegation to NL in 2008 they averaged 4k. Never been very well supported since late 70s/80s when they had a brief 4 years in second for their one and only time at that level they averaged 14k, 10k, 6k and 4k.
The North Wales area has potential though and with new interest in football round those parts (and tourists) could see them getting around 20k.
Some of their fans still think they will build the 55k stadium though...
i’d be surprised if they sang anything at all after watching them last night!
‘One team in Wales’
And we should reply by singing 'We were at Northampton & Birmingham & Burton, who the fuck are you?'
I'd play that team too, especially after seeing last nights game, although the Wrexham team will look very different the system wont. I think Kitch and Thomas can cope with the threat of moore, although I do think Lampard will go 3 at the back again like at Pompey. There not a great side, and defensively they are shite so hope we go and try to attack them and cause problems for them.
Nice to see a post about Coventry city on here...
I think everyone believes KKH is more than adequate quality to play. For me it's more about it being his first start cince the cup game?
As long as we have our front 4 we should beat them easily, they are static at the back and HW and BTA should capitalise on balls down the sides and through the centre, I expect to see HW getting the same sort of balls that led to the sending off against Watford.
He's looked sharp whenever he's come on as sub, I'm not too worried
