One thing I liked was that compared to last couple of seasons when subs made us look weaker was that tonight when we made a lot more subs we seemed to carry on playing as well. Looks promising for the coming season I think we will surprise a few.
And even if some results go against us I will not be too unhappy if we carry on playing with the style and commitment we have shown in the last couple of games.
 
One thing I think the gaffer got wrong was bringing Egan off for Famewo. I think he should’ve brought Giles off for Famewo instead. Even at 2-3 up in injury time, Giles got forward when Ndala was tackled and the left side was too exposed. Wrexham crossed and scored the equaliser from that.

The way we’ve been playing is having both fullbacks get forward and have the number 6 drop deep as an extra centre-back. I think if Famewo fills in as that third centre-back and Giles comes off, we win that.

I don't think he's particularly good, but I wouldn't say Phillips was at fault for either goal, Hughes and Famewo both out jumped, neither were keepers to come and claim for me. Did ask during pen shootout if he had holes in his gloves tho....
Glad someone else noticed their lad getting 2 free headers...
 
Contratian opinion. Yes we played some good stuff at times, but we were very sloppy too often, wasteful, too many wrong options taken, slow in possession....all against a Wrexham second XI. Didn't really get all the glowing comments tbh. Don't think Jak will be that happy. We need someone better alongside Lundstram in the centre. Should really have taken them to the cleaners. Got done by simple crosses to a bloke who hardly featured last season. Lessons to be learned and big improvements still needed. Disappointing as these cup games are potentially valuable games for our wider squad and for the money

The thing is, we haven't been conceding from crosses, last season or early part of this. Lot to prove for me this Famewo.

The second goal, Drameh nearly killed himself getting to the crosser while Kamara stood.

We didn’t have a first eleven out either with some good players due to come back in as well.
 
Even more competition for places now there's no cup ties for the second tier to get a game before Jan.

Loads of positives tonight though. Only real negative - the keeper. Let's just hope he's not called on for the rest of the season.
