Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Feels like plenty are on the cusp of having a 1st team impact. The pizza cup is a useful halfway house to see who may be ready. What does an XI look like? I'd suggest CBC Abrefa Strickland Dean Ryan Senga Craig/Savage Camara Elliott Ehibhatiomhan Wareham Anyone else I missed? I feel like that team c...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Looking forward to this evening’s games. Who have Burton and Cheltenham got ? Does it affect our magic number ? The magic number is currently 0 so, no, their games won't change it. Surely it can go negative given suspended points deductions? -5 means we can afford not to pay our staff and get Black...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Each to their own I guess. I'd happily take being a Brentford, Fulham or Palace, let alone a Brighton. Just as long as I continued to appreciate it. Some younger Palace fans want Parish and fellow owners out; the same owners who bought them out from administration, avoided relegation to L1 and then ...

Re: Weekend Football

Even with Everton’s abject defending Palmer is different class If he’s not in the England squad Southgate will have lost the plot (notwithstanding he has some very serious competition for a place … Foden, Saka, Bellingham) He surely will be, though I expect Saka, Bellingham and Foden will be ahead ...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Dirk Gently For further context, Everton's stadium is costing £500M - although I suspect it may have gone up a bit since then. So £3B is just a ridiculous estimate.

Think it's large development of retail, residential, training facilities plus stadium. So £3bn certainly realistic.

Re: Rival Watch

1995 was a long time ago. Their fans have been among the best for supporting our plight this season. Plus, I don't want them in L1 next season as they're a quality team at this level who would be favourites to win the league if they stay down.

Re: Rival Watch

I think Oxford will go up this year. They've clicked. And I'm frankly very happy that we're not playing them now. Though we have got better too... even so, they seem significantly better than they were earlier in the season. I never want them in a higher division than us. This season is our low poi...

Re: Rival Watch

With rival watch this season pretty much over, I wonder who will be our main rivals next season. I'm not expecting any teams to be as strong as this year's top 3, but I think there will be plenty in the mix. 2 of the 3 coming down will be teams who were competition in the Championship, while Rotherh...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Their involvement can give them some golden years and leave them in a much better position when they finally leave, but long term I don't see how Wrexham can sustain a Championship team in the same way we can't sustain a Premier League club. Population, geography and being a "big club" do...

Re: Looking forward to the 2024-25 season

We will naturally lose a couple of the OOC players, as some will get tempting offers from a division above & we may need to fend off interest in Wing, Smith & Knibbs but, maybe naively, this squad seem to love working together, working for this manager and there is clearly a refound bond be...

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

Here's where I'm at. Football is broken - you have to pump in more money than you can make, unless you happen to be very lucky in the Premier league (over and over again) But, the experiment of the last few years means that a sugar daddy who owns the club as a hobby, throws money at it and gambles ...

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

Fcuk me, you create threads to start debate but I didn't expect the idea that new owners should start paying bills and bringing normality back to be controversial. :lol:

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

If the new owners are the rumoured investment group, then their #1 priority will be to push for promotion out of this league - sustaining losses at this level will not be acceptable beyond a season or two if the strategy is to promote and flip the club. Whilst the wish list is commendable, I can't ...

New owners' top 5 priorities

I probably should wait until a takeover is confirmed, but hopefully Dai is on his way out. In terms of how I'd like to see incoming owners go about business, I think there are several priorities to focus on: 1) Communicate with the fans Oh how we have missed communication. What is your vision and am...

Consistent 16k - 17k attendances at the SCL.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

What were the general thought on Abrefa? I thought he had a decent game. A few slips and didn't offer a huge amount going forward, but defended fairly well given Barnsley used the width for space well. I don't think he's threatening Yiadom's place yet, but worth hanging on to and giving more time? ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

I really enjoyed the game yesterday. It was a fairly end to end and overall I thought we were the better team. Oddly, it all seemed a bit subdued when the game ended. Has there been any mention of another points deduction incoming? Anyway, changing the subject this could be the first season I can r...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

Strange atmosphere at FT. It felt like neither the fans nor the players worked out we were safe, so there were no celebrations. Probably the players frustrated at the equaliser having gone ahead late on.
