    We definitely need a left winger, but EMC, much as I have always liked him, does have to up his game. Rather than giving all the credit to EMC, it might have been something said by Lampard at half time.

    I have always struggled with Torp and Eccles being on the pitch at the same time, particularly from a distance; and one is numbered 28 and the other 29

    This belongs on the Wrexham thread as much as here but we were overly focused on the long ball out l. Need to mix it up a bit. Robins would have been cross I wonder if Haji Wright is suited to being target man for long balls. He prefers it to his feet. May explain his ineffectiveness lately...

    If it were me (and I know nothing) I would be play 4-3-3 as usual, but with Woolfie rather than Thomas and Allen in midfield doing the snappy dirty stuff. Then bring Torp on after an hour or so to get him up to speed Oh and I'd say to EMC that if he wants to play a full 90 minutes he's got to...

    I can rely on FP to find something wrong with almost anything I post. He's like a stalker. Better check your maps and the league tables. Chester miles down and Chester and Shrewsbury are both in England. Not sure Tranmere are competition, but the Wirral is sort of No Man's Land.

    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.

    Will Rob and Ryan do a DK and dump the most successful manager in the history of the club for one to take them to another level?

    That said I think we will win this easily. They are not as good as Pompey

    Me too, I really like what they have done. They did not pick an underperforming big club like Brum or now Sheff Wed - which would have been a lot easier. They deliberately went for an economically run down part of the UK with a medium sized club. They turned down their first choice Hartlepool...

    Even earlier than that, Charles Hughes in the late 1950's advocated long ball. He was derided for being a dinosaur, now he could be seen as prescient

    I thought Simms was impressive in his mobility on Saturday, not something you normally associate with him. Got its reward

    Well I'm going for no goals conceded. This is our trademark. I hope we get one or two. Good luck to those making the trip, and I hope we finish with eleven men on the pitch, not nine....

    ungrammatical, but I get your gist. I'm going to put in the box marked 'complacent over-optimism'. It's next to the box marked 'Summer window has been crap'

    We undoubtedly need better to secure automatics. Most on here thought that would be beyond us this year and play offs were the goal. After all, the summer window had been poor [allegedly]. There are only two places up for grabs and at least four teams in the mix. Complacency, which is rife on...
