It went pretty silent when Pearson was down - wouldn't be good to lose either of them for any protracted period!

Not one you would expect out of the Darlo school of coaching, but if it is effective, don't knock it. A variation up the sleeve may just catch a few teams out or a bit of perfecting to put right in the corner.

The tactic is absolute bllx. Better to score 1st min as per Orient game.

The whole thing just smacks of lack of belief to keep hold of the ball.

There's clearly method in the madness.

Do we do the same routine after conceding a goal?

Agree a bit like timewasting in the corner 2-0 up less than 2 mins to go, some call in professional I see it as negative thinking no confidence in the leagues best defence, but then again maybe it's no confidence in our forwards, hey ho such is life we're top of the league you know let's be thankful we could be Chester 😈

We don't make a habit of conceding, but teams seem to do it from the off.

People are grumbling about the kick offs! Come on Wrexham, start losing some games so there's some meaningful reasons for people to gripe so much.

It's not just me that can't understand why we now kick for touch.

A guy sat near me reckons it’s a way of gaining yards like in rugby. Hoof it out, deep into their half. Then everyone push on, press them back in the first minute.

I don’t know whether there is anything in that theory, it’s certainly not one I had thought of!

But thought I would share.

For me, I’d prefer to retain possession from the off, and work it forward.

Any footage of Rutherford's goal last night?

Thought he had been signed as a squad player for this season but he has stepped up and made a mark.
