    I like these words. Scienza is a gem.

    Did he really say “bollocks”?

    If he did, he’s won me over.

    I've listened back and it sounds like he says 'balls' again but the sentiment remains the same!

    Love the words but the cynic in me says this is the club going "**** the fans are unhappy, let's put a popular player out there to give them what they want to hear".

    Hopefully we get a performance and a win tomorrow.

    You can hear how passionate he actually is though in the recording. Love it.

    You can see it on the pitch where he's gesturing at people to get up of the ground and get on with it - no coincidence that the crowd are warming to him as he puts in a shift and has the skill to go with it.

    Yeah agreed, could do with much more with that attitude. Similar to the comments Mads made the other day, both should be first two names on the team sheet as far as I'm concerned.

    Hopefully it gets the right reaction from the rest of the squad.

    Leo needs a much better song. Deserves more than an exact copy from last season.

    Ah, what it would be like to have a CF like K Moore.

    More goals in a half than any of our strikers all season?

    It's not if but when for Wrexham to be a PL team - which I'm pretty sure was the business plan all along but it also shows that even a team that looked like running away with it can be beaten in this league and if we actually do get things right we should be right in the mix.

    Not going to deny a striker that can actually score would be really nice to have right now - perhaps with all the sickness and injuries we need to play a few of the u21s (ie Oyekunle)?

    Even if we win tomorrow we've won less games than all 3 promoted sides this season.

    Matchday, grey and wet day. Forecast to clear for 16:00 KO over here. Today's promo 12 x 33cl Leffe Blondes for €9.99. It'll be a 3-1 home win for the super soaraway Saints. COYR!

    First half: 0-0

    We play quite well but don’t muster many chances. Quite evident that Preston are sh*t, and there for the taking.

    Second half: 0-2

    Run out of ideas. Make defensive subs. Sit deep and play for draw. Lose the game.

    300 Preston fans outsing 30,000 Saints fans the entire game.

    I’ll go for an optimistic 1-1. Go behind & show some much needed fight to gain a point.

    Bazunu,
    Mads, THB, Edwards, Manning
    Jander, Downes,
    Fellows, Azaz, Scienza
    Arma

    (can’t see any other option than to have to start Arma at CF currently)
