  Agreed. Very organized as I'd expect a Parky side to be. I hope we never have to watch that kind of turgid crap football that Parkinsons sides play. He has one tactic....lump it into the box to the big fat tall bloke. They may be well organised but they ain't all that. Second half of the season they will be found out. Wrexham have won 88 league games in the 3 and a bit seasons since Phil Parkinson has been manager, and I don’t think I’ve seen one fan from another team admit that we played well against them. Goal no.1 was a counter attack and a cross in to the box. Easy as you like. Goal no.2 was a clinical counter attack from our…

  Not going to stir up the 2 parky/Wrexham fans by mentioning Phil but we need to remember.... We had just 2 outfield players out there yesterday with much more than a season's experience against a side full of vastly experienced pros who have been together for a couple of years. We haven't signed anyone for a year and have seen several first team players sold since then to pay the wages.....everyone else in L1 has signed at least 5 players this summer. IMO we are doing very well to compete as the position is not dissimilar to Bolton a few seasons ago in L1 when they were being slaughtered every week. Final thing - I like Wing as…

  I couldn't watch the game unfortunately but the result wasn't unexpected. We are a bit of a soft touch and will have to get used to well organised ,more physical sides overpowering us. The hope for this week is obviously for the takeover to happen but just as importantly for us to keep our best players Wing and Bindon by the time the transfer window closes. Unfortunately the loan players that I see us linked to tend to be young ball-playing attacking midfield and forward players (we already have plenty of them) when really our need is a couple of stronger full-backs (will Yiadom ever be fit enough for a whole season?) a similar…

  Wrexham may not have payed big transfer fees but they've certainly bought success with huge wages for the level they were playing at for players too good for it. I know they're aging, but Fletcher? McClean? You don't fly up the leagues like that paying the going rate and being sensible with signings.

  Disappointing result but I thought we actually played ok. Wrexham were clinical with the chances they had whereas we look toothless in attack and ran out ideas. I really wasn't happy with the stand arrangement, I was near the middle aisle that went down to the front but there was no exit. There was apparently an aisle mid way down the stand but it just looked like another row of seats. Terrible stadium design not helped by poor stewarding that should have kept that exit aisle clear. Decent prematch in the Royal Oak, it seemed to be Royals takeover with very few Wrexham fans. Getting away wasn't great. The trains to Chester were…

  We`ve now played 2 of the hardest away games we`re likely to have all season, next up is current leaders Stockport, then Bolton, then relegated Rotherham followed by Barnsley, That fixture computer hasn`t done us too many favours, but hey we have to play them all sooner or later so best to get them out of the way now.
