As I’m losing the will to live reading some of the hysterical comments on here from last nights game, I will restrict myself to the following observations.
Firstly, if you read my pre match posts I anticipated a difficult night. Wrexham are a well run club ( unlike ours) one point of the playoffs with good investment. I see them as solid playoff contenders at the very least.
Secondly, again I ask, were you not entertained? A cracking match, end to end, with some brilliant goals and excitement.
Thirdly, we lost the first half 2 nil and won the second ( with more of our first team squad on the pitch) 3 one. We lost the penalty lottery, their goalkeeper was brilliant throughout the game, as were the Wrexham team as a whole. Good luck to them.
Fourthly, SD will have learnt a lot about his squad last night. None of those players are his choice and as for selection, following a busy Christmas schedule, this was our second game in 3 days ( with travelling time from East London to North Wales). SD has been in charge for less than 3 months. Contrary to rather tedious, repetitive and dim mantras on here of “SD out” and variations thereof, I think no manager should be dismissed without being allowed to shape his squad through at least 2 transfer windows and a pre season. Especially with his record so far in trying to steady the ship after the baleful effects of Nunos disaffection, Postacoglaus disaster, Edu’s recruitment and Marinkinakos negative interference ( though we all, of course, admire his investment and ambition).

He won't be getting his own players stokey as he's toast at the end of the season, its as simple as that.

A well reasoned post which I largely agree with. Those shouting "out" all the time are tedious and predictable. With Aina and possibly Yates and Sangare back we can win Five more games and pull off some draws. All reasons for optimism.
Dominguez is getting better and Jesus is working hard with little reward. Hutchinson will improve he's still young. Let's concentrate on supporting the lads however we can. Moaning about their mistakes, Edu and Dyche gets nowhere fast.

You’ll restrict yourself but you’ll still have a pop at those who see something different to you. I’m sure your paragraphs contain some valid intelligent remarks but I’m too hysterical to read them and they’re written by an ostrich - so I can’t be bothered.
Dyche is the worst manager since Megson.

How would we know if any of the starting 11 can play? Lump it and hope to 5 players with an average height of 5'5. Dyche is to blame for last nights result, he was only bailed out by CHO actually turning up for once.
We were poor and made to look even worse by a guy with the tactical intelligence of a brussel sprout. Noticed how well Kalimuendo did on his debut for Frankfurt. ?.

Stokey I agree. There are some in this web site that forget last years FAcup early rounds and a penalty shoot out against Exeter! Also a Swansea defeat this season ( Nuno ).
I watched the whole match and yes was entertained. My own view is that McAtee played as well as a recent Anderson , he is only 21. He will come good in the fullness of time. Poor Morato tried to protect Cunha and slipped up in his own role.
All the goals scored were well taken for both sides. Jesus goal was a great header and OD third was a worthy goal of the season. This was always going to be a tricky away match. No way was this result SDs fault as a manager.
This was a second string expensive side which all of us if we are honest would have started with giving them a chance to shine. SD was right to criticize them. The TNT commentators said exactly the same thing at half time.
We will see similar casualties from the premiership today. As with us it allows the manager to try different players in a pressure match. To lesser teams such as Wrexham a chance to progress and they deserved to
To survive this season is our aim maybe do well in Europe for the first time in a while
We will not be relegated I am confident. SD should then be given a decent contract.

Stop on stars, if you don't agree with them there's something wrong you, which in fact works both ways. We maybe hysterical but at least we are not delusional. Dyche is an outdated cretaceous cretin. ?.

I'm a bit busy at the moment, and although this delusional defending of the indefensible is barely worth a reply, I'm sick of letting this nonsense slide. I'll be replying in more detail later.
Don't be fooled fellow trickies, just because someone can spell and has the spare time to write an essay where a few words will do, it does not mean what they write is based on football nous or tactical insight. Stokey's post may be opinion, but it's a wrong one. Plain and simple.
Dych is a bottom half manager, with outdated tactics not fit for modern football. The sooner he gets the fook out of my club, the better.
Sack Gingersaurus please, Marinakis!

DTP …. So you keep saying…. ???
Gold stars I’m not having a pop at anyone. It’s just a mind numbingly dull mantra of largely unsupported statements. I can only imagine you were watching a different game to me. It was a great game with very little “lumping “ it up and lots of end to end action. As for “ Dyche is to blame” which of the players out there is he responsible for signing? Who else could he play up top who’s taller than 5’5”? Is it his fault Woody and Yates ( that would have been his kind of game) are injured and Taiwo finished?
By the way one of our midgets managed to score with a far post header……
Answers on a post card please…….

Nononuno, the Swansea cup defeat was Angeball not Nuno.

If over the course of 5 games you cross 500 times eventually even you Stokey would get on the end of one. Yes we don't have woody so how about actually doing his job and use a more tactically intelligent approach to the game. One dimensional lump, hoof and "have it" football belongs on a Sunday league pitch and to be fair that's insulting players at that level.
For a so called intelligent, educated and logical man you are sounding more deluded with each defence of the cretaceous crustacean.
I actually thought King Lear saying "the untun'd and jarring senses, O' th' deaf world. " suited the state of delusion coming from some here, for those who don't know King Lear lost his marbles and was self aware of his loss of those said marbles. ?.

Redfred nononuno is another fan that wanted better manager look what they've ended up with ?????.
10 Jan 2026 16:49:31
Skeggs no forest fan wanted nuno to go, he wanted to go and made statements that made his position untenable, just the same as maresca and Amorin.

Oddly enough Red Robin King Lear was the first Shakespeare play I ever saw performed live at Nottingham Playhouse on a School trip when I was 14 or 15, From then on I was hooked.
I was boring Lego with the storm scene quote the other night when he was telling me about Lieutenant Dan’s speech from Forest Gump….
