Normal service resumed for Haji Wright.

Woolfenden is awful.

skybluearmy7 · 2025-10-31T21:58:12+0000

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.

Must have missed but why was Thomas on the bench?

He wasn't.

pusbccfc · 2025-10-31T21:58:33+0000

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.

JSL · 2025-10-31T21:58:39+0000

All the hype about carthorse Moore. Unbearable. He even looks like one FFS

FL outdone by a team that had 2 1/2 days rest. Stupid team selection and tactics.

Poor goals to give Moore all three really

Nick · 2025-10-31T21:58:54+0000

We really missed not having a long throw as well

they hasn't fucking clue and they are too busy dancing around in celebration

Irony when in reality me and few others actually called it right based on the team picked. you just parrot what you read online without any real knowledge

Danceswithhorses · 2025-10-31T21:59:06+0000

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.

Get them back in April

mark82 · 2025-10-31T21:59:13+0000

Everyone fit, we're the best team in the league still. Tonight shows we don't have the depth to miss 5 starters.

covmutley · 2025-10-31T21:59:15+0000

Was always going to be tough. Lots of players out and Wrexham had to bounce back after their shocker against Cardiff.

No need to panic or overreact. Still top. Regroup and go again.

It's Greggs new log in mate

MikeyMoo · 2025-10-31T21:59:33+0000

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.

Again, very few choices. Who would you have started?

This BTA at AM experiment was going to catch up with us eventually, we've been getting away with it, we have no control in midfield. Torp and Eccles should have started.

jordan210 · 2025-10-31T21:59:48+0000

Simms for wright should have been done at half time letting bta play of simms for 15-20

He wasn't on the bench, he has a calf injury.

do you play andrews? or do you play the not fully fit torp and eccles?

Yes, you do.

lifeskyblue · 2025-10-31T22:00:41+0000

High line exploited throughout and showed how easy it was to bully us all over the pitch

It was Pompey away last season.

It was exactly that! I just hope we react to it because we cant get any worse that that!

Eccles was so poor when he came on as well.

fernandopartridge · 2025-10-31T22:01:13+0000

Lampard needs to learn from tonight

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.

Jamesimus · 2025-10-31T22:01:38+0000

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.

Wtf?

The only positive one is he might put wright up for sale in January.

2nd highest scorer in the league Wright? Good thinking

xcraigx · 2025-10-31T22:01:43+0000

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

We missed MvE's dynamism completely.

The difference between him and KKH is stark from what I've seen of KKH so far. It's not even close.

I saw him sat with the bench in the coverage, didnt catch the lineups

southern_comfort · 2025-10-31T22:02:26+0000

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

Frostie · 2025-10-31T22:02:27+0000

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.

SkyBlueBarmy84 · 2025-10-31T22:02:35+0000

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.

I think we all know that autos are a fantasy anyway. Solid top 6 team this year, keep expectations sensible

Unbelievable bedwetting here. All the performances, results, underlying data, you name it so far this season suggest we are one of the best teams in the league, and a 1-goal loss away to Wrexham with several first-team players missing doesn't change that.
