Do we expect too much...

They are professional players. And as such should be expected to do a professional job.

Bigger picture wise the board and manager have repeatedly said promotion is the goal so we're only matching the clubs ambitions.

So people saying yes are going against the clubs main goal and are lowering standards and expectations, carry on this way and we'll be celebrating avoiding relegation like a Chester fan would.

The 4th Divison Wrexham team of old would thrash this current team by some considerable margin.

Regardless of the level you play at you should in theory be able to trap, pass the ball and move into space competently, if you can't then perhaps you need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Attacking the by-line seems an alien concept to our players, in fact just dribbling past a full back would be nice once in a while from the video i've seen online.

Just a thought though:

There was a time when clubs in the Football League would confidently expect to beat non-league sides by a hatful of goals in the 1st Round of the FA Cup , but it doesn't happen as often any more - the last real "tonkings" were a 7 - 0 away win by Norwich at Paulton Rovers in 2009/10, but that didn't match Mansfield's 1 - 8 win at St Albans almost 4 years ago.

So why is it that the non-league sides are no longer the pushovers that they used to be? The theory that older League players would have been more willing in the past than now to drop down to non-league level to end their careers might suggest that the non-league sides were less likely to be thrashed in those days, yet the opposite is true.

Given crowds around 4,000 in this league then expectations are a lot higher than the standards that are being set.

Lets hope DK can raise the bar a bit.

Wrexham fans deserve better!

Could it be that top teams, Championship teams field 2nd 3rd and youth teams in Cup competitions. If they fielded their best teams in these competitions you would see the same hammerings.
