Just got back

Thanks Wrexy. I for one hope Tranmere do go up, as we would struggle to catch them next season.

Thanks Wrexy - great post.I thought Manny had good game.

600+ fans - great support - many of us missed first five minutes queuing.

Don't know what fight was about but just added an extra depressing touch to a woeful on pitch performance and massively underwhelming match

Dunne looked a safe enough pair of hands last season, but since his mid-season run of howlers (which saw him very lucky to keep his place!) he's improved only marginally, and isn't a player I'd like to see re-sign. Dibble could be worth keeping, but to compete with a more experienced GK.

Agree Dibble has done little wrong and fine as number 2 to a more consistent keeper than Dunn

Dunn has his faults but has saved more points than he has cost us. I think his reputed part time situation should see him disappear though.

As for Jennings he is a legend in his own mind and we can get far better. He isnt a winner or a leader. Feel sorry for Wedgbury as he is surrounded by midfield mediocrity at best but at least he gives his all. Add in a poor strike force although Quigley would do well at this level with a better partner.

I have had enough for this season and cant stand the thought of watching a meaningless last game. Next season will depend on managerial appointment otherwise I am going to be selective with games.

Be careful Pagl your last paragraph coincides with my point a few days ago about not renewing my season ticket if we get another managerial failure my point was (Assencio) I was told you support your team through good and bad ( which I have done for 50 + yrs) yes at this moment in time I'm of the thinking we are going nowhere and next season will be even tougher so might pick my games and pay on the gate, not decided I need a cooling off period first, but the managerial appointment and signings will probably make the decision, one things certain I'm not sure I can face another season of boring hoofball down here

Blimey, where to start on a strange day on and off the pitch.

Things didn’t bode well when we show at London Reds pub of choice and we see half of them heading towards the ground at 1:30pm. Normally those boys don’t leave the pub until 2:59pm earliest so something was clearly up. Ok, there’s the reason - Wrexham Frontline in one half of the beer garden and Leyton’s Stone Island mob in the other. A horrible pint was quickly necked. Leyton Technical was much better and full of Wrexham. Over 650 there. Great numbers and a huge queue at the ground to get in.

Wish I hadn’t have bothered. A bobbly pitch resulted in a poor game. Two poor sides. One of whom had nothing to play for and one of whom had everything to play for. But you honestly couldn’t tell.

Today was the first time I’ve seen Wrexham play live this season and thankfully its also my last. This team makes the beautiful game look like the Elephant Man in a football kit. Ugly, desperate, stuff.

A nothing 30 minutes devoid of any quality from both sides and Jennings over-runs the ball, loses it, and we’re exposed down the left side. The cross comes in, and the header is a beauty straight in the corner to Dunn’s right. He had no chance.

Wrexham huff and puff but create no chances whatsoever first half. Three or four free kicks are awarded in good positions, all but one goes straight out of play. Criminal. Corners are wasted. The big tall Orient centre half is winning every header against Quigley who looks out of place. Jennings is having a bobble-inspired shocker at left back. 1-0 at HT is a fair score. Wedgebury aside Wrexham were woeful and were rightly booed off.

Surely we’ll see more fight and spirit in the second half? Yep, 20 yards over my left shoulder Wrexham fans are fighting amongst themselves. Rumours during the game say it was over a hot-dog. Rumours after the game saying it was someone having a dig at Pete Jones and the WST. No idea if each rumour is true.

But there’s more fight in the stands than on the pitch. Wedgebury aside. Jennings gets in a great position and put in a cross that an 11 year old could do better. We waste more free kicks from great positions. Kelly has a shot that clears the stand and puts flights coming in to London City Airport in danger.

At the other end Dunn keeps it to 1-0. A flying Match of the Day save to his left (one for the cameras) and a one-on-one that he diverts to his right for a corner. He had a good game and without him it could have been 3 or 4.

Going forwards we’re never going to score even if we play until midnight. Ainge comes on and his only contribution is to be caught offside 3 or 4 times. We can see from 80 yards away that he's about 3 stones overweight.

But these aren't salad days. 90 minutes without a single shot on target tells its own story. Boos at FT with good applause for Pearson, Jennings steps forwards to more boos, Wedgebury steps up to warm applause and the other pantomime villains shuffle off stage. They won’t be coming back for an encore. See ya.

So where to go from here? Ship them all out except for Dunn, Wedgebury, Manny Smith and Pearson on that showing. As it stands we’re nowhere near good enough to get out of this league.

Been like that for quite a few seasons now.
Enough is enough

I sincerely hope you both reconsider. I am not trying to be clever but I believed it was all over after Bromley and told the wife (she may have been listening )

I have had time to think and I will be there Saturday and back next season but I hope we find a manager who can harness the magic that is our club.
This season has been turgid and cruel and we are all battered but again I hope we do not lose our stalwarts- this ,for me, would be the beginning of the end.
