Quoted from TownSNAFU5
Wrexham will also try and increase their American fan base with high profile matches in the USA.


If they keep losing I don't think it will do their American fan base any good.



You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I love listening to managers who have this spiel about tatical planning. The whole randomness of ball sports is there’s no way of planning of what happens in a few seconds so the only way of really being successful is having players who can make split second decisions based on their abilities. Jolley could say all that stuff but if you haven’t got the athletes to react to losing the ball and winning it back you’re basically fu.cked .

Which is why we got relegated to the conference for the first time because most of them were useless urine. heads

a dose of reality here. It didn't work against Chelsea, coz they were simply too good. However it might well have worked against Palace, if we haven't had the early sending off. As it was we held them for well over 85 minutes

We played some really nice football at times under jolley, I could always see what he was trying to do, seemed a promising intellegent young manager driven to madness by the fentmeister general, reminded me of that episode of the simpsons with frank grimes

We barely ever played nice football under Jolley. The odd game here and there such as Exeter away but generally the football was uninspiring, defensive dirge for most of his time here. Wasn't there reports after he'd left that he'd had players man marking the opposition when WE had a throw in?

Palace had 34 shots. That isn't a tactical victory. That's a combination of good last ditch defending and poor finishing.

I'm sure Jolley was a high earning trader in New York before he got into football coaching / management - he must really love the game to still be giving it a go in the Spanish lower league .

I thought he was ok , honest John had obviously given Jolley his side of the story regarding Humberside judging by his rant on there : Rob Straightin was 'a fu*kin straight shooter '(maybe it was an in joke )  but Burns and Tondeur were something else , not quite so good ; I can't remember what he said now but he seemed to flip out big time seemed a man on the edge .

Mullin suffered a punctured lung this morning in a friendly with manure.
Probably out for 6-8 weeks, might be our game he makes his return.

Strange how their loss to Chelsea youths was highlighted but their 3.1 victory over Man Spew youths goes unmentioned. Cherry picking
