2 assists for Brewster

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Peck has had a good game. Hopefully we can get enough cover in to give him at least half a season at league one level !

 

[RWE]

Peck my MOM tonight closely followed by Souttar

 

[Sparky_Blade]

How's Souttar looked?

 

[RWE]

How's Souttar looked?

Really good. Absolute unit and positionally been really good.

Peck has had a good game. Hopefully we can get enough cover in to give him at least half a season at league one level !

Think he looks a level above the Wrexham players and probably the majority of anything in league 1.

I remember when he came on as sub against Brentford and didn't look out of place in that game against PL opposition.
I think his game is suited to having keep possession pass and move players like Hamer, O'Hare and Arblaster around him.

I suppose what your argument would be is that (a bit like Rak Sakyi for Palace) he could do with having regular competive games.
Arblaster went to Port Vale last season and it seems to have really helped his developement.
However as said I reckon Peck is good enough cover for us this season, he's really good at that pass and move style.

 

[SouthportBlade]

Peck has been outstanding. Fabulous little player and lovely to watch.

Oozes class, always looks in control and comfortable receiving the ball.

Wonder whether we will loan him out or keep him in and around the squad?

Also Souttar very impressive. Not out a foot wrong and looks pretty handy with ball at his feet.

 

[MayorOJC]

How's Souttar looked?

Like we've got King Kong in our defense. Absolute unit.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

To be fair, Coulibaly for all his faults, hasn't stopped running, pressing and not hiding. He has put in a shift, not set the world alight but kudos for the effort.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

If you hit Souttar over the bonce with a cricket bat, you'd break the bat

 

[Overthehills]

Pros -

Obviously Peck. Admired his ability for a while, he is head and shoulders above his age. Our midfield are our best asset this season, otherwise I would be tempted to give him a squad number. But a good loan would bring him on.

Seriki.. pre injury. Fair play to the lad! Bags of confidence and blistering pace.

Cons -

Slimane... Okay he managed to win us a pen. But his first touch at times was dismal. I don't feel that he has a place at the club and would happily invite offers.

 

[Shawy24]

Thank God for Souttar. But really where has Wilder put Hamer and why?

 

[Fatlad666]

How's Souttar looked?

Tip-top sir

Wrexham made ten changes to put it in context

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Also, if this was Grbic's first game, we would be very complimentary. However....

 

[Sparky_Blade]

Really good. Absolute unit and positionally been really good.

Pushing for a regular start?

 

[RWE]

Pushing for a regular start?

Tough one as I thought Anel and JLT played well against Preston but didn’t have much to do. We look a lot stronger both defending and attacking set pieces with Souttar in the side so I’d probably say yeah I think he’ll start

Edit: just scored from him heading the ball down from a corner

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Game over

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Souttar been excellent.

 

[MayorOJC]

Can't handle Souttar at set pieces, he's a foot above everyone

 

[Fatlad666]

I would like to thank Grbic tonight, probably last time we see him, wearing the shirt. Sad it never worked out here. But he had the balls to come over, and give it a go. For that I would like to say once a blade always a blade. Good luck to lad.

We made 11 next

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Send cooper back to Plymouth

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

I Thought I read he couldn't jump. Wrong.

 

[Woodthorpe blade]

Reyt save Grbic. Can't believe I said that

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Icing on the cake, Parkinson looks fed up

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Fab save from Grbic

 

[XADE]

Peck has had a good game. Hopefully we can get enough cover in to give him at least half a season at league one level !

He's been fantastic, his touch map is absolutely allover the pitch.

 

[LS5 Blade]

I expect Sky to paint this result as unexpected as the ending of the Usual Suspects.
Never heard so much arse kissing in my life!

 

[BritishSteel]

Stick that in your documentary you Welsh tramps.
