[espoo blade]

ffs

 

[ml1997]

You can’t say it’s not entertaining.

 

[gooseh]

This is a bit silly

 

[fifty shades of blade]

BAsic defending needed there

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Absolute cracker of a game.

 

[Jan Age]

We aren’t planting well at all … they are shocking defensively terrible as are we… they can easily win this 5-3

Anyone laughing about Chong just had the ball no pressure and played it all way back to cooper which 2 mins later led to the goal

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Gonna need to score at least 5 to win this at this rate

 

[Pintor75]

Need Brooks on secondhalf to help Seriki, go 442, too open this 5 at the back

 

[Addison]

Never thought Id say this but we need McGuiness on for second half we look so weak in the air at the back. Also Brooks for Chong who has contributed very little so far.

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

Come on Gus....

3 goals in 24 mins away at a team unbeaten in 8 at home and all you can do is moan?

 

[shrubbery]

An absolute defensive horror show from both sides. Both keepers look shaky as fuck too. Wouldn’t be surprised if this ended 5-5 at this rate.

Yeah, the close up of the players on that last corner showed how much taller Moore is. It's just the other aspects of McGuinness' game that frighten me even more.

 

[The Crab]

Don’t disagree, but defensively soft. Three goals yes but Wrexham very much in this. Heck of a game for the neutral

As a coach wilder can’t be happy …

It’s an entertaining game to watch granted but distances are all over the pace and no one seems to know who’s holding and who’s pressing

 

[Nagima]

Our great forward play is being undone when our fullbacks are high and wide and Chong plus Hamer not getting back quick enough when things breakdown. We need to tweak things a bit to tighten up.

 

[Thrice]

Arblaster playing with fire there. Calling for offside and the ball hit his arm.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Weird match so far.

Our defence looks very shaky and much of it is related to Cooper’s lack of confidence.
His very first touch of the ball was to collect an easy cross and he slightly fumbled it but it he easily collected it at the 2nd attempt.

Maybe our defence only looks bad because Wrexham are playing 3 up front and both teams are playing direct.
It’s a bit like a basketball match and you sense there’s more goals.

We have been soft at the back so far agreed, but at the same time since our revival started we got enough goals in us to still see games out.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

These taff cnts dont know the rules

 

[Pintor75]

Wilder needs to change this second half, this system not working ( if its a system?)

 

[Jan Age]

Wilder needs to change this second half, this system not working

Agreed… a change and we see this one through easily

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Need Brooks on secondhalf to help Seriki, go 442, too open this 5 at the back

Chong and Hamer are just 2 gaps where an active player ought to be today.

 

[Thrice]

Brooks for Chong seems like an obvious change at HT. Chong has been weak.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Defence needs sorting big time in January. But you can’t say we aren’t more entertaining these days

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Hamer has been very quiet that half.

 

[1973Blade]

Crazy game , need to be less careless in possession

 

[@thelane]

Attacking wise, great first half….but we are giving the ball away with unforced errors and Chong isn’t tracking back….Brookes for Chong second half….and a bit of calmness at the back

 

[Champagneblade]

Brooks for Chong seems like an obvious change at HT. Chong has been weak.

Chong should have scored at the end of the half. He had a lot of room to work an angle. Brooks would have scored there.

 

[toledo]

I'm a Cooper fan but with the height that Wrexham have at crosses and corners, he needs to manage his 6 and 18 yard box by going off his line and catching the ball... its been his biggest problem for some time...

But what a crazy game, and all we need is to be 1 goal more that Wrexham at the end of the game....3-2, 4-3, 5-4, 6-5... just 1 more.....
