That really fucking pissed me off.

That was a stinking performance. Only Grimes and Sakamoto with credit.

KKH and especially Woolfenden look like back ups and no more. On that performance, neither is close to the starting 11.

I don't know how much was enforced, but that was a very, very poor team selection. With such a makeshift back 4, it desperately needed better protection. Should have sacrificed a forward for Torp, or if he wasn't fit enough, Eccles.

And I fucking hate Wrexham, the plastic cunts.

They wanted it more simple as that. Knew it was going to be a fight and we didn’t want it. The game is won and lost in midfield and they won most second balls. Not fully sold on woolfenden, given way too much space to Moore (how many times does this guy do his hair during a match lol). Onwards and upwards, still top.

Hopefully Frank owns that. Bidwell should not play another game this season. The two in midfield needed changing after 45 mins and he left it way too late.

At least we got that 'haven't lost' monkey off our back.
That game will probably show Frank that some players just aren't quite up to it, that is if we have promotion ambitions.

We’ve been amazing this season so far but we got exactly what we deserved tonight. We weren’t good enough I’m afraid.
Maybe we were believing the hype and getting too complacent.

Well played Kieffer Moore. You guys are right, Sakamoto was epic. Suspect lampard thought the game would fizzle out at 1-1 so made changes, at 2-1 made the more aggressive changes but at the end of the day Sakamoto made 1 and scored 1, he's 3 and 2 in this league, EMC got on the scoreboard for the first time, he's 2 and 2, we're diversifying where the goals come from even further. Wright will get back into it when the midfield reverts to Eccles and Torp then Rudoni and Torp. Our only issue tonight is at the back, 3 soft goals perhaps? Bobby Thomas a big, big miss.

Yes, you do.
which one? The kid who has a handful of league minutes or the 2 players who you may risk hurting themselves again if they play say an hour or so? It's not that easy a call is it.

Feel like KKH is a much more attack minded player and maybe a back 4 isn’t for him? Regardless, the change of personnel at the back wasn’t great (I know it was forced). Game won’t have done much for Woolfys confidence - I think he’s a good player but he was shite in the second half.

Allen poor second half, EMC did okay but became predictable with his approach play.

Bidwell end of 1st half set up a Wrexham attack and then 30 seconds later played someone onside for one of their better chances.

Bad day at the office for too many. Midfield needed more help / bodies in it.

Fatty James was disappointingly good for them in the 2nd half.

Well, a brother in law and a mate are Wrexham fans so it was always going to happen tonight.

Fair play to Wrexham they were better in every area of the pitch, poor performance from many of our players, Saka ran his socks off as normal shame his team mates didn’t turn up.
Every team will step up against us even more now they know how we can get turned over.
We need to show our strength of character and bounce back from this

Really, really disappointing but just backs up the point that the squad is too thin.
Missing 3 of our usual back 4 & 2 of our usual midfield 3 was always going to be tricky.

With that said, I'm surprised we lined up as we did or at least not change it up sooner, everyone could see what was coming.

That was abysmal.

Wrong formation. Wrong starting line up. Subs were too late. It was clear we had lost control of the game.

Bidwell needs to retire and “The Wolf” was miles off it.

Anyway, Wrexham deserved that. Moore totally dominated both CBs, and Kitching lost focus under pressure.
