...whatever happens tonight.
If we lose we are not suddenly a bad team, Hurst isn't a shiite manager and a defeat in September doesn't mean that we can't go up and are doomed to years in the non league swamp
If we should win, then we are not suddenly the best side in non league. We can't get promotion in mid September and we still be a work in progress

Wrexham are pretty strong favourites with the bookies, for good reasons. Let's be realistic, we struggled to beat part time Weymouth, all our stars were aligned and we had the football gods with us to beat Barnet. We drew with Stockport ,who've been Dikked at home by the might of Dagenham and Yeovil, whilst on Saturday for much of the second half we were under the cosh and it took some great goalkeeping/defending to keep us in it

all i'm saying let's retain a bit of perspective (and lets hope the haters don't have the opportunity to suddenly make a return with their negativity and bile)

Well said Forza. Stick by them, there's plenty of promise and character in this squad but we're absolutely still a work in progress.

Wrexham fan here - we aint a championship winning side far from it to be honest- its going to take us time to get things right. Yes the players we have brought in are better and stand out but its not been fantastic football.

Hopefully we can hang on till January and address our problems id take a point tonight and be very happy.

1-1 Prediction with 430 away fans!

lose Forza, lose??, we are Grimsby !!!  I dont think we have to worry about anybody this season, they should worry about us. We are playing the best football for many years, i admit a few narrow escapes in defending, but we are a more attacking side now, we have goals in us, and the best thing is... the lads are up for it.

You're right about staying level headed but by 22:00 tonight we'll have a much clearer view of what this team can achieve and the usual suspects will be out in force either way.
To be fair if we do well tonight it'll be tough not to start getting very positive!

Was thinking about this today. Too early in the season to get too carried away or downbeat.

Early days yet.

Well said. Remember the poem If.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Yep well said although it won't stop some. We have made a better start then I thought all things considered - and I quite like the look of this team so far.

Yep, we'll lose a few but I'm optimistic. Come next season at this time we'll be in league 2.
