    Agreed. Jack is a 100 % player and extremely happy for him

    What is this having possession and pinging the ball forward all about? Surely have ball and pass into our own box and keep it there.

    We have to remember we're in the championship now and it is much more physical.
    Finally Manning did!

    Plenty to work on for Still. It was like watching us under Martin defensively in that pretty much every chance we gave away they were through on goal with one simple ball.

    I will enjoy the win though, because if you can’t enjoy a late comeback then what’s the point. ****ing get in there.

    Hope that no one left early!

    Great to see proactive subs.

    Finally some decent crosses which actually led to chances. Good game from Bazunu. Need to work on the high line and front three balance. Just the moral boosting win needed, however it happened. Wrexham will be a handful this season.

    I watched the full game. We were lucky not to be buried at half time. We grew into after 30 minutes, but our passing was extremely pedestrian until about 75 minutes. Too many tippy happy passes. We need to get a more coherent line and and game plan if we want to be successful this season. Don't forget we were playing a team two leagues below us in

    But you are right, let's forget the details. We won, we willstorm the league

    Maybe your first sentence was most pertinent before you load an inflammatory reply

    We were awful tbf. Lots of reasons why and at this stage the result is all that matters, good to get a win early on for mentality

    Manning probably was the player to come out of last season with some positives.

    I think you are expecting too much from a side that is carrying deep mental scars.

    One thing with Baz other than his excellent save - his energy was superb all game. Always alert and looking for the quick release etc - sets the standard.

    Maybe, that is fair and I get the scarring. Hopefully today will be a huge tonic. I was undecided how this season would go, extremely well or really bad, and today may help decide, we can only hope, and hope we get stro get quickly

    Wrexham where very Saintsy today, the ginger ninja played his cards right with his substitutions seeing the team line out and the finishers (excuse the rugby term) I went in positive but a bit squeaky bum time with the ref wanting a Hollywood day.

    Yeah thought he was very good, especially considering he had one save to make all game I think, penalty aside.

    Him, Manning, Quarshie and Stephens the ones to come out of today with real credit. All the attacking players were poor I thought, Downes as well, Charles was OK. Early days and all that though

    We weren’t awful. We were very average and finding our feet, but there were a lot of bright moments that didn’t quite pop. Robinson is going to have one hell of a season.

    I'm pretty positive about that for a first game. Only thing I'm not seeing that other people seem to be, was I didn't think Quarshie was as good as people are saying - thought he looked pretty clumsy to be honest. I mean, I like him and I think he'll be an asset, but very, very raw and he'll cost us some goals with mistakes.
