Yeah probably was a bit harsh tbh. although Given the rest of them were 3's, 4's and 5's, a 6 was a relatively high mark!!

He was head and shoulders above anyone else in sky blue...

He was brilliant. Just because his teammates weren't doesn't change that.

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.
Click to expand...

I literally described us as a strong top 6 team which means we agree. We won't be automatically promoted, lets revisit this in May and see if this is "bedwetting"

His pre match press conference interviews are poor too. Frank has run out of answers whe he keeps askibg him about the fans.
When SKY did the press conference last week they were 100% better than the amateurs we have on CWR.
Can we get that fella who did the pre season and fills in occasionally, he’s miles better than Gurney and Bailey…..And I don’t mean Dave Bennett

So do you agree that we are a strong top 6 team or top 2? Are you saying we will be automatically promoted?

Zero proper questions about why he waited so long to make subs etc.


Just questions about how good Moore was

Some of the so called bed wetting is justified.

Moore can be delt with by marking him out the game. Yet we have him enough space to score a perfect hattrick.

Think it depends what the yellow is for but if it’s for stopping an attack or whatever the offence is then play on basically counteracts it. @Adge or @Sky Blue Pete would know.
Click to expand...
Yes-no yellow card if the attack continues as “a promising attack” has not been denied or stopped and the play has continued.

I think we learnt that the players who came in were not as good as the regulars. That is where Franks 10% went.
Bidders not as good as JDS, KKH not as good as MVE and Wolfie had a nightmare.
Kitch was an inch from clearing their first goal but played him on.
Three players coming in who had hardly any minutes really showed.
Thought Tatsu was fouled for their third goal.
Clearly, Eccles and Torp are not match fit.
I suspect there may be a bug going around as so many players looked lethargic and it wasn't Wrexham being good. When was the last time you saw BTA not put a shift in this season?

Poor all round. Wrexham are nothing special long ball merchants yet we capitulated and allowed Moore a hat trick he didn’t have to work hard for.

We don't agree. The bookies, the data nerds, the goddamn league table ffs all suggest we are a top-2 calibre team. It's not a fantasy, this is who we are - we lost one game tonight, the world continues to turn.

That was piss poor to watch
Wright had about two touches all match and me going for a shit earlier to tonight, was twenty times the effort he put in tonight.
It absolutely proves, one important injury, eg Rudi, Thomas ,Torpedo etc and we are fucked.
Frank needs to give them a bollocking for losing to a such a route one anti football team like Wrexham, they are one of the worst teams in this division

Lats hasn’t played for months and Perry hasn’t played men’s football at all. We weren’t about to put him up against Moore.

Yeah-although a bit of a novice I thought he was better than the unbearable Lorna Bailey and the droning on that Gurney serves us up.
Surely CWR will address this crap that has/is being served up on/pre match days, it really does need binning.
With local BBC radio on the whole in the doldrums I’m not sure that this format is helping their case.

I think we then lose the midfield battle them O’brien is a quality player at this level. I mean we already did but still

I think if Rudi and Torp fully fit we dominate the midfield and Bobby and MvE available at the back we smash them

Tbh it wasnt half as bad as it used to be. That performance tonight had been coming and you cant polish a turd But we move on to Tuesday, hopefully not with Wolfy and Lats as our centre halves

Bidwell could've played LCB at a push but if DaSilva wasn't fit enough to start then I wouldn't have wanted Brau against Kabore

Yeah I’m not sure the answer to 4 shit defenders is 5 shit defenders. I think Eccles and Simms are probably the only two other than Brau (lol) who could have started realistically.

I've no idea what game you were watching tonight son, but the general consensus on here is that we were missing Thomas, MvE and Dasilva the most.

Im bloody glad you dont pick the team.

For me it showed Doug needs to get the chequebook out if he wants autos this year. It won’t just come with this squad playing at this intensity.

I’m talking about the formation rather than individuals. You’re correct probably not possible - it’s a worry that with one injured CB we cannot play 5ATB. It was obvious early on we lose tonight.
