We’re odds on again to win an away match. I can’t see beyond a City win and any impartial football fan would think the same.
They’ve only lost 1 of their last 7 in the league. People being a bit blindsided by their performance the other night I think. Went to Boro and got a good point. I think we will win but a draw wouldn’t be the end of the world
You’d think if we were going to rest people it would be Tuesday, at home, team lower in the league, halfway between the two. Does feel like our alternate starting XI is more of an away side though.
Why were Tudgay and Ricketts doing your shopping?
Why surely sky blue? What’s the point in having a third kit if it’s not going to be worn?
North Wales is considered Everton’s catchment area…. So def some truth in this.
Which they will obviously earn more from if they wear the bastard thing!Extra income?
I'm really not comfortable going on an opposition forum and reading that 90% of their fans expect a hammering off us. I know it won't be as easy as that, but would love it if it is. Like others have suggested, bar crosses to Moore, and possibly the threat from the Man City loanee (Kabore), I can't see where the danger is from them (which is very unlike me). They did draw at Boro' though, so aren't complete mugs.
Yeah I get that. Me too. Someone said earlier, most games feel like a banana skin and so far we’ve made it. We could pump these or have an off night or no luck. We will lose at some point and when we do, how we react is a big sign
Bigger catchment than Nuneaton. My father in law was a regular attender and he lived in Abergele on the north Wales coast. 25 miles away. Wrexham have only tranmere to compete with.
They were outplayed by Middlesbrough and got a point. Middlesbrough have only won 3 out of their last 8 games.
Wrexham are not very good defensively. There's only 4 sides that have conceded more goals. We're the top scorers by miles. I wouldn't be confident if I was them either.
Happy to finally be playing for a big club, looking forward to pissing the league. The usual stuff.
It’s going well
I’m enjoying the football
Feet firmly on the ground
One game at a time
Made a great start
Not achieved anything
Fighting for the boys
Lampard has high expectations and we believe we can achieve good things with hard work
Fans have been brilliant
That was me guessing

Had a week to prepare so I’m sure Frank and the coaches will have either planned for that or assume we’ll score more and keep it as it is
I don't know enough about him to make judgement. I don't mind him being on the bench if Lampard judges him better than others available.
He’ll only be on the bench if we have more injuries. There are no others available
Got my head in the clouds as usual and apologies if this was posted somewhere but is Vic fit now? Great news if so.
If Torp is back, he'll drop out. Not sure anyone will complain about that. Hopefully Rudoni back soon too.
Do think we'll see Shepherd on the pitch at some point this year though. Maybe FA Cup if we get an appropriate draw.
Rob, Ryan, Red. Jesus Christ
Is switching to back 3 against a team who have an isolated looking Kiefer Moore up front a good move? Not sure.
It doesn't seem necessary really does it.
George Shepherd is a very talented young player...
having him in the first team squad makes it a fair bit more difficult for other Clubs to approach him,he has an agent already and a good family looking after his best interests.
I’m
Just psychologically I assume? There’s nothing like we’re due more if he’s played or anything is there? Or is there?

No we wouldn't be due more but he can't be approached without the Club being involved now.
Weird that isn’t the case when he’s just in the academy tbh. Either break under 16s off from pro clubs entirely or respect it the same for me.
