Good to see CV back on the bench and sad to see no DR still.

Continuity looks good though.

Stil no Rose   .. everything seems very quiate about his injury

Be handy if Mansfield could find a winner in the next 10 minutes
To be fair Colchester have looked ok

Quiate

Are you sure it's not an evening kick off - can't see many black and white stripes here in Wrexham

The same 3-5-2/5-3-2 which has worked pretty well of late so can't really complain about that. Hope we pass it a bit better this week.

Does anybody know what Rose injury is ?

Quoted from denni266

Stil no Rose   .. everything seems very quiate about his injury

The expectation by some was that he would be back for this game, so his injury must be preet serious.

There are not many on here at kick off, I assume there all at the game watching Town win.

UTM

How did he get a shot off there?

3 or 4 players on him and no one put a challenge in. 1-0 Wrexham

1 0 down, looked like handball before that wasn't given

Poor goalkeeping

Pathetic defending and keeping.

excrement all round that. No sound on marinerstv for me.

Keeper ?

As good as Cartwright had been recently, that was an absolute shocker

Goalkeeping howler

Three players don’t get near enough and Cartwright should have done better poor start

We're really not looking up for this.

Poor from Cartwright there, going to be an uphill task now.

What a soft goal . Definitely a keeper error. He had to dive under it. I thought we had stopped giving this kind of gift away.

Static caravans have more movement than we do at the moment

Town need to work on breaking better. We've been so pedestrian this season.

Cartwright is having a howler

Cartwright having a bit of a shocker.

We alwase seem to want to do it the hard way

Sutton winning   :-/

Sutton 1-0 up.

Sutton 1 up.

Cartwright is looking positively NLN.

Quoted from Plankton

Cartwright is looking positively NLN.

The same as our attack, 25 mins gone and no shot on target.

Shame we haven’t got a decent gK on the bench because I’d be hooking Cartwright at half time

Missing Rose here.  Obikwu not having a good game.  Tharme getting some good tackles in.

Some half decent approach pllay but zero quality in the final third. Sorely missing Rosey. Honestly already can't see us getting anything from this game.

intercourse off 2-0 we looked amateur in that break.

That's how you break

Let's move on to the next one.

No coming back from that with this team. Game over.

2 0 all too easy. We have no fight nothing, just toothless in attack and defence

Did Cartwright just sit down

That was quality from them - precise passing that’s what you pay for - which is where we suffer

Just hope accy and donny can get win now

We always freeze in front of big crowds at home

So far no threat up front or wide and excrement defending.

Think our only hope is to keep the score down, front 2 look weak, easily dispossed and not strong enough.

This is an insipid performance. Our keeper is useless, our midfield are doing nothing with possession and our strikers are just stood around not making runs. Why none of them cleaned any of the Wrexham players out on that counter I have no idea but how's Cannon been allowed to score from that sort of distance and angle?

Clearly Wilson can’t be @rsed today.

That's the quality that those Hollywood dollars buys. Players who could be playing in the league above and maybe two leagues from where they play in can do that. Our team looks clumsy and out of ideas in comparison.

Terrible performance from all turning out to be a disaster of a day

flipping useless

Our lack of quality is really showing here

Get Chas on.  

That’s it then.

Let’s hope Doncaster win.

Complete lack of spine from Town

3-0. We're absolutely shite. This is going to be a thrashing. We look like a relegated side.

flipping hell, I thought we were past this.

Time for bed my head says.  My heart will make me hope and keep on watching.

Back to relying on others slip up

To think these players are picking up a wage this week total joke pathetic performance

3  0 down and out, were useless today.

3 shots 3 goals

Here we go again.  :B

Artell will tell us all we deserved more from the game because the stats say so

Goal difference taking a hammering again.

This is gonna be a cricket score

Nothing to do with how good Wrexham are but that was just utter excrement defending.

Clinical from Wrexham, Cartwright not having a good game.

Damage limitation from here on in.

Good possession early on but with no end output, they are just in a different class, our crosses just not hitting the spot.

flipping embarrassing. These twits just give in when it's going against them.

Quoted from AndyGTFC

flipping hell, I thought we were past this.

We're losing because our dreadful keeper has let two shots in he should be saving, and we've let a third in because instead of properly clearing a ball we've just hit it straight to a Wrexham player on the edge of the box and it's rebounded to Mullin for a quality finish. We've actually had far the better of possession but we've just got no quality in midfield to capitalise on it.

This could revert us back to our mentality a month ago. Doesnt bode well at all.

Wind has been with us this half too, can't see a way back into this game.

Same old story i'm afraid. I've not been overly impressed with Wrexham but we are f.....g clueless in the final third. Having said that Wrexham's second goal was a perfect illustration of how to counter attack effectively, a really good goal.

Quoted from Chrisblor

We've actually had far the better of possession but we've just got no quality in midfield to capitalise on it.

I much prefer it when we have less possession and win

46 mins and our first tame shot on goal. Pathetic.

Missing rose up top

Never thought I’d say this but let Eastwood have a go Cartwright isn’t up to it , or even better try and find a experienced free agent

We're very much in this relegation battle. The side don't look up for it, through attitude and a lack of ability. We're getting torn apart every time they break and move forward.

Quoted from Sir Matt Tease

Same old story i'm afraid. I've not been overly impressed with Wrexham but we are f.....g clueless in the final third. Having said that Wrexham's second goal was a perfect illustration of how to counter attack effectively, a really good goal.

It was a nice move but we were naive enough to let it happen. Countless opportunities to commit a foul as they broke were missed, and then we've let them score from a ridiculous angle because our keeper looks like he's afraid of touching the ball today.

Its not going well for your sell out Cup Final is it ! Watched abit of it and you lot are p××r poor arent you? Lots of these on long contracts as well! :'(

4 shots 3 goals tells the whole story

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

Never thought I’d say this but let Eastwood have a go Cartwright isn’t up to it , or even better try and find a experienced free agent

Clint?

Mullin should've been fouled 60 yards from goal on their 2nd

We were never going to continue unbeaten until the end of the season and these shite performances will crop up but we're still in the driving seat over the other 3 teams, lets keep going and hope we bounce back to how we was in the next game.

Quoted from David Frazer

Its not going well for your sell out Cup Final is it ! Watched abit of it and you lot are p××r poor arent you? Lots of these on long contracts as well! :'(

Go get a life you weird girl private

Thought it would be closer than this. Wrexham TBF have been ruthless. It's game over already.  

Holohan, Clifton, Obikwu & Green all look like they’ve been plucked from the under 9s team. All look absolutely incapable of playing one simple forward past, the former two have been guilty of that all bloody season as well.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Clint?

I think a 93 yr old Clint would do a better job.  Both our keepers aren’t the required level needed

We look an absolute bunch of cloggers. Terrible first touches...passes off the mark...flat footed ...really poor

I'm sure the schizo reactions compared to a win or draw will be super negative talking about how the world is now ending and Artell is the devil, we need a new keeper because our resident goalkeeping expert says he should be saving every single shot on goal, etc.

Maybe some perspective is needed on why they are in a battle to finish as league champions and why we are in a battle to not get relegated again. People are acting like this is a game we should be winning when it was always going to be a tough game.

What's Holohan's pass completion % today? Into double figures?

1st goal was Cartwights fault.
2nd and 3rd there are 10 players in front of him that are doing absolutely F all

Useless all over the park

To think anyone has the opinion Cartwright should be back next season. He is gash

Quoted from pontoonlew

Holohan, Clifton, Obikwu & Green all look like they’ve been plucked from the under 9s team. All look absolutely incapable of playing one simple forward past, the former two have been guilty of that all bloody season as well.

The four you mention have been exceptionally poor

Don't think we have been that bad in general play today tbf

They have had less of the game but scored everytime they have gone forward.

We didn't stay in the game so i will be in the bar as long as possible again.

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

The four you mention have been exceptionally poor

They’ve  all been crap, 1 to 11

Done enough before this game so back to sh***t defending. To good to go down!!!

Quoted from Chrisblor

We've actually had far the better of possession but we've just got no quality in midfield to capitalise on it.

Still getting smashed at home again though, that's the bit I thought we were past after the last few games.

Hopefully we can get back to being solid defensively again over the next few games.

Quoted from DB

1st goal was Cartwights fault.
2nd and 3rd there are 10 players in front of him that are doing absolutely F all

Looked a nasty bounce to be fair....kicked up somewhat...Holohan didn't control a simple ball and no one closed the fella down...

Quoted from moosey_club

Looked a nasty bounce to be fair....kicked up somewhat...Holohan didn't control a simple ball and no one closed the fella down...

You cannot possibly defend the goalkeeper.

Oddly enough, I think Holohan and Clifton have both passed it and retained possession much better than in the last couple of home games!

We're not creating anything which isn't perhaps surprising given the team contains 2 strikers and 5 defensive midfielders. Forwards have done little, but the service into them has been awful (obviously, the wind is a factor for some of the passes).

Did the first goal deflect a little? I always wonder when a keeper dives past a shot, though it was bouncing and hit well. I thought the second was a good finish, but no idea why none of the defenders went with the run. Third, a poor clearance followed by a lucky deflection straight to the striker. On another day with a better luck, we'd only be a goal down, but no obvious way that we're going to get back into this one.

Quoted from Abdul19

What's Holohan's pass completion % today? Into double figures?

Holohan's an easy target for criticism as he actually tries to make things happen, opposed to Green who charges around the pitch bundling into people and occasionally manages a five yard pass. We should have realised Hurst had lost his recruitment touch when he made Green his main target of the previous summer window.

We're completing 69% of our passes compared to 55% for Wrexham in the first half. The problem in possession is a lack of movement and creativity in midfield and attack. Our biggest issues today have been in defence and in goal.

its a case of men v's boys out there. or more a case of money v's not much money.

thought there have been a few fouls missed by the ref and some very questionable decisions by the lino!!!

but, you can see the huge gulf in ability and confidence in the 2 sides. were being reliant on the veggies and sutton not getting anything once again today i feel.

Relying on Tharme's long throws.  

Its been nearly 3 weeks since last meltdown, here we go..... let the showdown begin, geez.Just let it go, a bad day, onto the next

Cartwright seems to have lost the abiity to kick a ball today, especially to his own players.

And why is it we only have Doug Tharme who can head a ball?

Rodgers shows his intelligence.

Quoted from dicko995

Its been nearly 3 weeks since last meltdown, here we go..... let the showdown begin, geez.Just let it go, a bad day, onto the next

This club deserves better and we should not be accepting this level of performance. There will be 7000 town fans there today and they were served up this shower.

Don’t think it’s as bad as some other of the other games we’ve been thrashed, there’s just a severe lack of quality in our team.

Our set pieces have been pathetic today.

We really, really need Danny Rose back soon

Quoted from dicko995

Its been nearly 3 weeks since last meltdown, here we go..... let the showdown begin, geez.Just let it go, a bad day, onto the next

It’s not a meltdown, we’re just discussing how poor we are today , you know like most fans in the ground will of done at half time . Hope your rose tinted life works for you though

(anger3)(anger4)(anger3)

rodgers does what i hate and commits a foul letting their defence have a freekick instead of a throw in and taking the pressure off

Mrs DB watched it for a while and wondered if the Womens Team would do better?

Goal for Donny!

FGR losing at least

Quoted from Kris2

I don't care who we are playing and if I'm being honest I had this game down as a loss but I at least expected a decent effort from us but we have been crap all over the pitch.

Rearrange the words to describe Town's performance today/   less head chickens.

If FGR lose today we are still in the driving seat regarding survival. They play the current top five in their next five games.

Can anybody take a half decent free kick for Town? Please make yourself known!

Quoted from Chrisblor

FGR losing at least

At least thats something going in our favour

We need the vegans to lose today and this result won’t be as toxic as it looks on paper. An Accrington goal or two and a Notts winner would also be welcome.

Another goal for Sutton 2-0

Sutton have suddenly found some form, they only have 6 games left though.

Quoted from arryarryarry

I don't care who we are playing and if I'm being honest I had this game down as a loss but I at least expected a decent effort from us but we have been crap all over the pitch.

And that is the problem . it's not that we are losing, but the total lack of effort from all of them. You expect your team to put in 100% but this lot just turned up to collect their wages.

I’m not about to lose my shït about this. As someone else said, we’re up against a money team challenging for the title. Of course they’re going to exploit the problems we have and which we all know about. I’m not sure Bradford will.

We’ve improved a lot over the last two months. I’m still hopeful we’ll see it out. Couldn’t see anything other than a loss today though.

Malarky at least has a go at taking people on.  

Quoted from MarinerDevil

Sutton have suddenly found some form, they only have 6 games left though.

3-0 now

Quoted from DB

Quote from Wrexham commentator 'No one from Grimsby has looked to threaten the Wrexham defence' After 75 mins it tells a true story

We don't have any creativity in midfield. Our previous run of results have come from being solid defensively and nicking scrappy goals. Today we've been poor at the back and our strikers have had zero service and haven't held the ball up well on the rare occasions it has come their way. At least we're no longer playing like we did at Mansfield and conceding about thirty shots a match.

Brilliant finish there Arthur

My only real concern is just the damage to the confidence again.. we were just starting to get it together and a bit and now we are being humped. As you say, we were never going to get a result against Wrexham so my expectations were set accordingly but was hoping we would just defend like hell and maybe scrape through a draw. Ho hum.

Great goal for Gnahoua

Well done Arthur

Arthur made that look easy

Orsi scores again, how i miss that guy

Donny 2-0 FGR

Fgr 2-0 down.

Well done Donny.

I struggle to see what these players do all week ?

No plan
No idea's
No threat
No creativity
No hope

F.....g clueless !

I don't think I've ever seen a group of players with a worse first touch than this rabble and a total lack of any plan in the final third.

We are in real trouble !

See, not looking so bad is it?

Wrexham would have scored double figures against the Town side that played Donny.

If Obikwu had scored that sitter I reckon we'd have got a third. These are nothing special for all the money they've had thrown at them

Obikwu should score there

They take their chances, we don't. Obikwu misses a sitter.

Quoted from DB

They take their chances, we don't. Obikwu misses a sitter.

They have a few quality players we don’t have any at the club other than 1 whose not playing today , predictable result today but not everyone is as good as Wrexham

The reaction is because we have given in timidly, and now are looking over our shoulder at what FGR and Sutton are doing.

Personally I'm angry because the 2023 24 season ended in mid September and all we have been doing is rear-guard fighting just to keep away from the drop zone. What a waste of a year.

Mani would have scored that Obikwu miss.  Hard to keep down.

Quoted from Mayaman

Mani would have scored that Obikwu miss.  Hard to keep down.

Silly

We still have a six point cushion, but have a tough game next week. However it sounds like FGR were very poor today so hard to see them getting many points from their next five fixtures.

We had all assumed that Sutton were dead, but they have won their last two so maybe we need to keep an eye on them now.

Rodgers, the only player I have ever seen, tries to avoid a throw in halfway to the halfway line, concedes a corner.

I was hoping for a point. It’s a strange league this. Watched Mansfield V Colchester and thought the home side were poor, given where they are in the table. We need 11 more points to be safe.

At least we won the second half.

Again, another match where the opponents ran faster, were far more accurate with passing, and harrassed our players for 90 minutes, forcing mistakes.

Mullin should have been booked for his "face" injury !!!

Sadly, 2nd best until Arthur came on to give them a bit back - deserved his goal and praise to Harry for a solid game today.

At least Mullins didn't get a penno and Palmer didn't score, so not that bad.

They proved why they are up there, and we're not !

Unimpressed with Wrexham who have some good players but are pretty basic in their style of play. Unfortunately, we let them score with their first shot and didn't play at all well for much of the game, but I still think the scoreline actually flattered them a little!

Obikwu just not experienced enough to get anywhere against their defenders, Wilson too quiet other than that one snapshot and having Pyke as a replacement on the bench is almost a waste of a substitution. It would have been a game made for Rose whose nouse would have won us In lot of possession and free-kicks.

I think we'll need to keep battling it out for the points for the rest of the season because our lack of pace and the poor standard of our general passing can't be improved with the current squad. Big rebuild required in the summer, though hopefully still as a League club.

Agree with this - after today, Sutton have emerged as the main threat. Given they’ve only got 6 games left, you would hope a couple more wins from ourselves would be enough. Sutton would need promotion form over those remaining games to overturn that.

Quoted from hampshiremariner

I was hoping for a point. It’s a strange league this. Watched Mansfield V Colchester and thought the home side were poor, given where they are in the table. We need 11 more points to be safe.

11 points?
Not sure about that.

I think maybe 47 points could be enough. 8 points from 8 games. 6 pointer with Colchester could be massive.

Quoted from chaos33

I think maybe 47 points could be enough. 8 points from 8 games. 6 pointer with Colchester could be massive.

You think either FGR or Sutton are going to average about
2 points per game for the rest of the season? They're not even close to 1 so far.

42 will be enough, I'd not be surprised if we lost every game now and still stay up.

Quoted from pen penfras

I admire your optimism. I’m not so sure that what you’re averaging in points per game over a season is as relevant as how many you’re acquiring in the current form period , but as I say, the picture will go game by game. If we lose the next two, and at least one of FGR, Sutton or Colchester pick up 4/6 points, then  I’m not sure there’s going to be much solace in your season PPG faith. Every passing round of fixtures brings an effective ‘net result’ that’s bigger than what we do. Yesterday wasn’t terrible in that regard -  one win, one draw and one defeat amongst our rivals, and nobody breathing down our neck. Yet.
Each fixture now has the power to shift the picture and mindsets quite markedly.

Friday - you’d expect Stockport to beat FGR surely, and maybe Salford to beat Sutton. Colchester will see Newport as a juicy win opportunity.

In our hands which is the main thing and I think 5 points from our 3 home games and a draw in at least one of our away fixtures should see us safe but, we have to get those points and I agree lose the next two and it’s panic stations again.

If you look at fgr and suttons run ins .Apply points generously I would say 6 for Sutton and 8 for FGR .All we would need is 1 win .I know sometimes a team fighting for their lives achieve the odd fantastic result but not 3 or 4 in 8 games

Quoted from Maringer

Couldn't agree more and just about word for word what our group were saying.

On the Wrexham forum a few of their fans had been saying they hadn't been playing well and they actually didn't create much it was down to our poor quality midfield and defending that they scored 3, as for our likelihood of scoring that didn't look like it till Artell made the changes which we all thought came far too late.

PPG for remaining games based on PPG achieved in last 6 games [form]

Sutton 10/6 = 1.7ppg. Currently 33 points, 6 games left => 33+10 => 43 points
Forest Green 7/6 = 1.2ppg. Currently 33 points, 7 games left => 33+8 => 41 points
Colchester 5/6 [5 draws] = 0.8ppg. Currently 34 points, 9 games left = 34+7 => 41 points - although you think everything being equal they'll get another 3 or 4 more than this.

It's sketchy however you want to look at it but on this basis 42 points would keep us up.

Grimsby 9/6 = 1/5ppg. Currently 39 points, 8 games left => 39+12 => 51 points

What we're watching is of course pretty poor but it's so important to the club and the town we stay up and I'll keep encouraging all our players and not getting on anyone's back from here...

We had 60% possession on Sat but did not use it wisely.

Stockport had 35% possession but still beat MK 5-0!

To be fair, I don't think Wrexham were putting much effort into attacking during the second half. Quite happy to let us pass it backwards and forwards in midfield and in our own half which helped our possession stats. They were coasting and knew it. We knew it too which is why our players apparently set out for damage limitation in the second half and didn't really do much to try and get back into the game until the last 20 minutes or so.

I can understand why we were content to just stop the rot just after half-time, but it would have been better to see us try and attack a bit more than we did.

Yep. Reminded me of the Stockport game. It felt like they could've cranked it up if they wanted/needed to.

The third killed us but it would've taken a huge turnaround anyway. Speaking of the third, what an absolute shambles that was. Mullin was quality, not comparable with our 2 up top.

I hadn’t watched the highlights until just now. The first two Cartwright could have done better, actually I think the second was the poorer from him, it was a tight angle and he didn’t stay big - if he had the shot was would have been within an outstretched arm. The first had a bounce on the way through and he would also have been partly unsighted. But the greater issue for the first was the feeble second ball attempts from our midfield.

The third was a cracking finish tbf.

The second did hit his glove, I could hear it. Seems harsh but gut instinct was that he should've done better. First one was very difficult as it took a massive bounce that you can't really see on the highlights.

He just lost his confidence completely as the first half went on, some of the back passes didn't help mind.

Really good headline tonight on ITV English Football League Highlights for Town.
Despite defeat, it played back the goals from victory 5-4 against Wrexham and did a feature on the local hospital radio - well deserved for the volunteers that have provided commentary for the patients for many years 👏

Quoted from CSLM

The second did hit his glove, I could hear it. Seems harsh but gut instinct was that he should've done better. First one was very difficult as it took a massive bounce that you can't really see on the highlights.

Needs to do lot of work on his upper body strength the second goal went straight through him.

5 shots on target and three goals. We have to
face facts. The ratio of goals conceded to shots on target has been very high generally for us. Which says really that he doesn’t actually make enough saves. On Saturday I think he should have saved at least one if not both of the first two goals.

I saw some of the Sutton game. Their keeper made some very find saves at a time when they could easily have gone behind.

I just don’t think or keeping options are good enough for a relegation scrap and have definitely cost us points this season.

Yeah I'd agree with this, he's improved at claiming crosses and has odd games were he makes a series of good saves but generally isn't strong enough in this obviously vital area. We are improving him as a keeper which is great for Hull but it's costing us in the immediate I'm afraid. He's better than Eastwood no doubt though so I've no problem with him being picked but it's not a situation that should have arisen
