Just got back

[Wrexy]

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.

Fantatsic post Wrexy, did our coach and manager come to the fans to say thankyou for the fantastic support this season?

Good read but however he played today Dunn is a liability and must be dumped as a priority

Thanks for the report. Many on here slag off Dunn, but those who go to the games more often than not say he's keeping the score down. Who do we believe? Wedgbury has been let down this season, not just us. Not a great footballer, but one of the very few who desperately wanted promotion and has given everything every game.

Fighting over a hot dog or having a dig at Pete Jones? Not sure which is the more ridiculous.

Neither is true, obviously.

The problem is he partly keeps the score down and partly contributes to it increasing. He's a good shot stopper but his terrible kicking and handling of crosses outweighs his strengths.
