Two points almost given away tonight.

Alty were dead on their feet for the last 30 minutes and let us come onto them but, despite the odd bit of decent football here and there, the final pass, cross or shot just wasn't good enough.

Still should have won really, but it just never looked like it was going to happen tonight as none of the midfielders or strikers looked like they were going to do that extra little bit to grasp the points.

Not LJL's best game, though he was horribly isolated for the first half. I think we probably would have won if he had stayed on and played alongside Oates who showed a good touch on a couple of occasions but didn't have the physical presence to cause their defence too many problems. Unfortunately, Hannah showed absolutely nothing when he came on which was a disappointment.

As others have mentioned, our crossing was just rubbish tonight. Got in behind their defence on so many occasions it was untrue but barely a cross or cutback got near to one of our men. Must do better than that - Arnold's goal the other week showed how easy it should be when you get into a good position but we just weren't accurate tonight.

Quite surprised at the restraint and it's good to read

Box to box, passing, movement, desire,,,,9/10
In and around the box, cutting edge, bravery, trickery, guile, intelligence...1/10

Says it all; results business, goals are everything

If, and it might be a big if, Hurst can get a 'jack in the box' striker to the club it might (just might) turn things around... but even I don't quite believe that as I write it

A bloke next to me summed it up brilliantly IMO - "it's not sh*te, it's not crap, but it's not good enough"

Two positives: team are playing for Hurst - you don't put that amount of energy in if you don't give a crap and we have the second best defensive record in the league.

PLEASE Paul find a goal scorer

Had the Paddy header fallen to Disley, I think we'd have been talking about a victory tonight. Paddy been poor for last couple of games, did the chance 1st half fall to him too? Whilst the keeper made a decent save, he should've never stood a chance.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

I don't think there was any problem with the first half effort. If it had fallen on his left foot, it probably would have beaten the keeper, but he hit it pretty well with his right and it was a very good reaction save. As per usual, the ball didn't fall to any of our players in the box (on any occasion tonight).

We really miss pittman. We are a different side when he's up front. As for tonight when I heard that neilsen was in for hannah I thought excellent he'll be in the free role behind lenny. Was surprised to see him stuck on the left side of a midfield 5. Formation didnt work for me though as LJL needs a strike partner to flick onto. Think we were too conservative and scared to lose tonight. Now two tough away trips

I cannot understand how some seem to be happy with that tonight, I thought we were very poor, yes we had plenty of the ball and played it around but they were probably the worst team in many a long while we have seen, they passed it more to our players than they did their own.

As for Hurst, going out with one loan striker against a bottom 5 team at home, what message does that send out?

Not sure how anyone could suggest Mackreth had a good game his passing/crossing were crap, MOTM for me was Azwad.

I hope Wrecscum have a bad day on Saturday, or they will tear us a new one


When did that last happen? We've had plenty of poor performances this calendar year, but I can't remember us being battered.

As for tonight, much better than last week (obviously) but created next to nothing apart from McLaughlin's 2 chances. Thought they were going to nick it with that Reeves chances 5 minutes from the end.

Quoted from Lambretta Mariner


He headed one over too.


Clearest chances of the night fell to Paddy with the unchallenged header from 7yards the most glaring. Hit the target from there and he scores.

I thought the formation, which was fluid, at times 4-3-3, other times 4-1-4-1 worked well in that we found space, played at a tempo BUT it just died in the last 20/25 yards. Failure to bring in the elusive 'number 9' lets everyone down

Bottom line is that you stand and fall by your home results, get those right and by n large you keep your job. Failure to beat any of Dover, Nuneaton, Southport and Altrincham says it all.

Wrexham have a huge 150 birthday celebration day planned for Saturday. Can we be party poopers or will we be cannon fodder

Difficult to do so when we mostly had one in the box against 5+ defenders

Despite our possession, I'll just point out they've had some chances that had me worried.
