A

Agreed they will score, but if our strikers perform how they have been we should decimate them

Definitely think they could score but looking at it, our defence seem well suited to deal with Moore which will be the big factor for them.

We just can’t allow them to get the first as they’ll then put 11 people behind the ball

What times everybody leaving ? We are Leaving at 15:30

12, but we have a Travelodge. Traffic shouldn't be too bad, in theory, as it's half term.

A few going at 1 & using Chester as a halfway house

Did you get chips in Crewe from across the road, ( best chips ever )

That chippy was brilliant. Every time we played there I bought chips from that Chippy and ate them by the wall outside the ground. I even called in there once on the way past from somewhere else (don't remember where) and found out the owner is/was a Coventry City fan - I had my home shirt on and we chatted about the football club.

I also used to enjoy the chippy near Nottingham Forest's ground

It's not even the traffic that's bad. You get a lot of dickhead/idiot drivers up here and has an insane number of accidents even when the roads are empty. There's literally no speed cameras between Shrewsbury and Wrexham (might get the odd trap set up on the way).

After Shrewsbury it's round about after round about, it's fucking irritating. Watch yourselves on the second round about it has a sharp bend and have seen cars turn over on it.

If up during the day and have the car do go have a drive around Llangollen/Horseshoe pass or Ruthin through Moel Famau.. some nice views if you are into that and the weather is good.

Really looking forward to this. New ground for my son. Last time I went there was early 90s, but I might be making that up. Was it in the cup? Can't remember.

Leaving at 12, Travelodge booked.

I'm nervous about tonight, but only in the context of keeping our great run going. I do think we will be too strong for them, but Moore is a threat and Bobby and Kitch need to keep him quiet. I can easily see us getting a 3-0 win, equally being defeated 1-0. Fingers crossed Torp is back and Haji is firing. I'll go for a comfortable 2-0.

94/95 League Cup

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Let's keep the momentum going tonight lads...these 2 records would be insane to beat

 

[Calista]

Get the kids in bed after trick or treating, large vodka and coke

They really ought to be able to nod off without that.

23 pages on a match thread before kick-off is mental...

23 pages on a match thread before kick-off is mental...

Literally.. just skim read the last 10 pages as I thought GIMOC might have been on with some bullshit about one of our best players being injured for 6months

 

[Briles]

Got to remember every player we play against whilst we are top will want to play well so we sign them in Jan

 

[jordan210]

Feel like its going to be tough game with Wrexham playing anti football

That M6 at this time is hit and miss. I would go toll then A5 -A483

Weve decided to leave at 3 .. surely 5 hours is ok

 

[skybluecam]

Any news on Torp? I’d be very confident if he’s back in.

 

[Briles]

TV games are good for us and the players. We have quite a few players who will be hoping for international call ups for the World cup next year. BTA and Wright. I reckon Tats and Torp will feel they have a chance too if they and we continue form, Even maybe Dasilva if Wales manage it. Showcasing their credentials on TV can only help them in that, for what its worth I'm going 2-3 tonight with us conceding a few sloppy set pieces

 

[shmmeee]

Andy Turner had him as available in his preview but that’s not always accurate and seems to be a guess based on Lampards vague comments.

 

[ceetee]

It doesn't matter how well they play or how well we play
They'll just lump balls into Moore and he's bound to get his head on a couple of them

The one opposite Rochdales ground was also superb but yes the one by Crewe was top draw

Haji should really be up for this one, I imagine this will have quite a good level of viewers in America, so a great game for him to make his case

 

[Briles]

We have some new American fans too. Hes over in Jan so keep an eye out for your free pint

No but he was on that wolf video on the pitch where he'd most likely been doing some 'after training' practice (given it seemed most other players were not out on the grass at that point)

I don’t mind that. Quick forwards getting in behind have exposed us at times, Moore moves at a glacial pace.

[procdoc]

Fuck Wrexham. Frankie Goes To Hollywood tonight for three points

 

[procdoc]

Another record is there to be broken, 7 consecutive wins

 

[Briles]

Fuck Wrexham. Frankie Goes To Hollywood tonight for three points

 

[skyblue_55]

Surely our previous wins have shown you all something ?
We are the nearest thing , to a complete team in this league .
Frank will have seen enough of Wrexham to put a more than adequate Skyblues side out , to win this game .
Onwards & upwards Skyblues

I'd like to throw in the chippy outside fleetwoods ground on the corner. It was superb.
