    Whilst I don't like the club for reasons other than just because of who the owners are, have to say there is a lot of entertainment for Wrexham fans .

    So far they have scored 10 goals and conceded 11, in just over 2 1/2 half games at home.

    Hoping they don't score any more today though :)

    Who owns them has nothing to do with why I don't like them though Wakey :)

    Although it will be interesting to see how they cope with FFP etc now that they are a league club.

    Promotion going well?

    We are 7 points off the the promotion race already and sitting in 20th. Not going to panic yet but someone needs to get off their backsides and bring in some good footballers fast. Oh Ipswich top by the way 9 points and very good Davies doing a job again

    Poveda out injured again for a few weeks, should we really keep him? Yes he’s been one of the better players but lets face facts he hasn’t played a full season for years.

    This may get a few piles of dogshit thrown but as Ten Hag has said Van De Beek and Williams can go, why not pile in and buy them both for less than £20m. A proper flying LB and a midfielder who would be better than anything else in the championship?

    Van de Beeks wages would be an issue.

    I'm expecting Brandon Williams to arrive at Leeds before deadline day.

    We’ve got players who got relegated from the PL jumping ship and trying to join the likes of Everton and Bournemouth, trying to persuade VDB to drop a division, that would be some task

    At least it would finally show the ambition, make that statement Marathe has said and also that aggression in wages we were promised. Could also try for a loan with a buy option when promoted?

    Though the correct answer should have been : ‘only if I can’t watch the Millwall game’

    I believe Nick Hammond leaves at the end of the month as he was employed on a temp contract. How has he done? Well it looks like not a lot as he needed some cash but only saw players leaving on loan. Darlow, Ampadu, Byram and Rodon all seem to be good deals, but only Rodrigo, Adams, Roberts and McCalmont sold. Think the loan deals have hamstrung him
