Love them or hate them. There games are certainly entertaining 24 goals in 3 home games that's more than some teams see in 3 months. Let's hope it's another classic when we go there next month and we can come away on the right side of the result.

I thought it looked a tough game for them at home to Swindon, and wasn't surprised to see them getting dicked at half time, but fair play to come back and score 2 goals in added on time for a draw.

Of course, we are no strangers to scoring 5 at their place.

Watched the game this afternoon as unable to watch the Town game, not looking forward to playing either of these teams, we had a bad experience last season at Swindon and not looking forward to playing Wrexham either, Toner still causing problems using the long throws. Today’s game was all out attacking from both teams and the goals Wrexham scored were very similar to the goals they scored against us in the playoffs. Hopefully PH will watch this game and learn from it. UTM


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

Rightly so....with a defensive manager the world would end by conceding 5.......put someone like Holloway in the frame and a 5-5 draw sounds like a cracking game to be at...

1-1 v Mansfield with 2 (?) decent attempts on goal = 1 point
5 - 5 v Wrexham = 1 point...which game would you rather watch as a spectacle ?:

Wrexham have conceded 13 in in 4 league games and scored 13, we are sitting at scored 5 and conceded 4 in 4 league games if anybody needs a dose of reality. People would be going mental if we let in that many in the first 4 games of the season. You say you want their start but if it was GTFC you'd be moaning about it.

Thing is Wrexham are scoring regularly once they have tweaked the defence they are going to be top 3 all day long. As for us our striking options will remain limited unless we change formation and find another Liam Hearn or Omar bogle.

Wrexham spent a lot of money which only got them out of the NL at the 2nd, attempt after the investment from the Yanks. It was mooted that the squad was easily as strong as any L2 squad and probably lower L1 standard, so hardly brought in anybody.

13 goals conceded is not a good standard. Their goalie may be ex-England but at this level is he any good, and that goes for the rest of their defence. I'm not saying they as useless with 13 goals scored but they have suddenly found out they are not going to walk L2. Any thoughts of promotion again by them will have to be done the hard way on the pitch, and not by thought of their name and status.


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