    Thank you, imagine my last games being some of the ones from last season!

    Also Bazuna clearly reads my opinions and got so angry he had to prove me wrong - so I'm partially to thank for the win :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    My only real negative from today is that that twat Jones scraped a win too.

    Sky sports commentary probably in tears at full time. They actually said it should have been 5 or 6 nill on about the 80th minute, which would be some going for Wrexham with 2 shots on target. Probably hoping to feature on the documentary.

    Disagree with you on the forwards. Adarma did what Adarma always does but Robinson and Fraser put in good shifts and caused problems at times.
    Charles did well and showed in the second half that he can make some good forward runs to create the extra man.
    I think you need to watch the 90 minutes again to see what others have seen.

    I’m exhausted after that! Do feel we got away with one but it’s about time we got a bit of luck
    Special mentions for Baz, Manning and Stephens
    Refereeing was dreadful (bet he’s gutted that we won) and the Sky ass kissing commentary team

    He’s not Virgil reincarnated, but he is big, strong, decent feet, and very quick.

    The one where the ball was sent through and he overtook the attacker and shouldered him off the ball wad what we have missed for a long time. Quarshie is a key piece of the puzzle to make us hard to beat.

    Yeah, I'm not down on him, and there's a player in there for sure. But I'm also seeing a rick or two in him. Mind you, he was much better than Ronnie, who had a bit of a mare today.

    Haha, I knew when typing it you would prove my initial thoughts wrong and tell me you did watch it!!

    That will teach me to keep my thoughts to myself! My bad!

    The result is all that matters though as you say, especially with more incomings and outgoings and Stills first match in English football. None of could have asked for more and to do it for the Disney+ cameras makes it even sweeter!

    Agree Robinson will be good. Just need to play with decent players up top

    I’m going to enjoy the season next to my new neighbour. Constantly calling for a long ball

    Another note. The ref was terrible.

    The best goalies don't have much to
    I concur the sky commentary was one hundred % wonderful Wrexham v Premiere league losers I found it embarrassing.

    Well, like all good blockbusters, the end was full of action.

    Have to say Moore going off helped us no end. They didn't have anyone who could hold the ball up after that so we were relentless in coming at them.

    Totally worth having egg on my face for that ending. Proper limbs! And snatching a win from the jaws of defeat is always a good thing. Brilliant free kick from Manning as well.

    Just like his speed, presence and positioning. Think he’ll be a real asset. His speed is a bit of a cheat.

    May have just been me, but I actually felt a touch emotional when we scored the 2nd. Didn’t cry or anything, but felt unnatural <laugh>

    Don’t see the fuss about Robinson’s performance from today’s game, obviously not writing him off or anything but didn’t think he had a good game as others have said. Some moments sure, but also some questionable moments, especially physically. Fraser was also pretty anonymous I thought, not really his fault as we were set up poorly in the first half from an attacking point of view, or with the wrong personnel at least.

    Downs, Stewart and Archer all pretty anonymous, and I think people would be questioning Downs if Stephens hadn’t scored at the end as he should definitely be scoring that chance before it reaches Stephens. Possibly Archer as well from the (much harder) chance he had where he didn’t react in time, but that’s likely me being harsh on him

    Maybe I’ll watch it back, probably won’t
