Nearly perfect placement for the corner taker with the wings

Great corner by Alfie

Okonkwo needs to challenge for that

Yikes, neither of their goalkeepers look useful.

I know it’s not a league match or lineup but relegation looking like a very real possibility for Wrexham. We don’t belong in the championship

3 games into the season man and they bottled two of them.

Depends if the owners have the cojones to change manager if it’s looking dark come Nov/Dec

Feels like a comment from a clueless american bandwagon fan.

Nah that's harsh mate.

I'd rather read a bunch of posts from someone like this lad than the many try hards on here who post like Football Twitter accounts (not that you are one).

I don't think they've looked that impressive when I've seen them. Doyle should make a difference, but I think Parkinson is out of his depth (I'm not a Wrexham fan).

Harsh? Relegation likely for a team that spent 30m on reinforcements, plus they do not belong in the Championship? Callum Doyle, Conor Coady, Lewis O'Brien, George Thomason, Nathan Broadhead, Ryan Hardie, Kieffer Moore...

How is that a reaction you would like to hear AFTER THREE MATCHES have been played!?

Standard overreaction from a bandwagon fan expecting wins without having a clue how hard it is to LITERALLY have to change your entire starting lineup like Wrexham has, while not having time to do a proper pre-season due to commercial obligations in Australia, on top of the fact key players picked up injuries already.

But he's a fan. He's just venting.

u/20wall 1d ago

So you’re saying Wrexham hasn’t been pitiful in the 3.5 games we’ve played thus far this season? Completely outmatched in all 4

Not even remotely, squad that opened the season had 8-9 players that never played together before, legitimately not even in pre-season friendlies, this is a massive issue early on, still they outplayed Southampton that first half and took a well deserved lead. Unfortunately a worldie of a free kick and a late stunner took the points.

WBA outplayed them thoroughly, injuries added issues up front and especially with zero depth in the midfield, but then again, there were quite a few glimpses of what this Wrexham squad is capable of.

Against Wednesday they bottled it properly in the end but again thoroughly dominated, went up 2-0 before honestly unexplainable tactical blunders by Phil thinking he is still in League Two to sit back deep and allow them back in.

Overall, looking at other matches and teams in the Championship, a comfortable 15-16, there are some dreadful fucking teams down there, without talent, depth or budget to field even 1/3 of the squad Wrexham has.

I can't differentiate between Brits and Americans anymore. So many Brits have just the worst opinions ever and it gets upvoted to high hell. Americans at least try to have unbiased takes, Brits with the "I know footy mate I'm fooken English you twatpiss"

The fact nobody realizes Jose is a shit tier coach is just one of many testaments to that

u/Dave1711 1d ago

long ways to go, you have a lot of new players still gelling and you played two of the best teams in the championship to start your season and were competitive with.

some of the bottom teams are proper shite it'll be a tough year and definitely very different to what most wrexham fans are used too

u/smidget1090 1d ago

Everyone in the championship is pretty good. They all have decent players, funding and infrastructure. (Aside from poor Sheffield Wednesday)
