Champions

[Welsh Kiwi]

This may seem like rose tinted specs, but I really do believe we are going to go up as Champions.

Believing in something is a massive part of making it happen...

I know it is going to be hard and there are always a million logical reasons against it... But anyone who has walked up Snowdon will know it looks mighty big from down below but much smaller from up top.

I think the Champions spot is going to turn out like a battle from Star Wars.

The Dark side v the Jedis.

Salford v Wrexham

And we hold the Lightsabre.

We own our club, we are not cash rich and we have a far greater history, pedigree and knowledge of how to play football the Wrexham Way. What is the Salford way exactly ? We had forgotten how to play the Wrexham Way over the years, but we are finding it again through Sam Ricketts.

The last time we did the Champions thing we had an ace Welsh manager who had played for Wales too.

It will take great courage and great mental strength, but Sam is the man to get us back up. It's the first time I have felt that in over 10 years. His ego is not bigger than his ability. His ability is bigger than his ego. A bit like Yoda.

The one thing I do think is we are not going to do it just as one team. #WeAreOneTeam

I think we are going to need a bit of 'Wrexham' in the mix too, for us to go up as Champions.

So anyone who is on social media. When you do the hashtag #WeAreOneTeam please can you also add #WeAreWrexham.

A fab little boy I know recently rubbed the happy Buddah's belly at the European Buddhist headquarters in France. There was a Wrexham AFC sticker on the car in the car park.

Let's make this happen ... Red Passion.

We protected the Racecourse, so getting us back into the Football League as Champions is easy compared to that.

2018/19 Champions.

Great post.

I worry it's Fleetwood all over again :-(

One up automatic makes it very very difficult to get out of this league; that is the huge problem as we know all too well (esp the Fleetwood season as Wxm Boy says).

I'd take top 3 still at the moment (which would be a huge improvement by Sam on the last 5-6 years); any lower than 3rd and with the number of games in rapid succession I think it's very hard to get out of the play offs.

Agree. We don't look like champions yet. We haven't got that ruthless streak.

We do however look a much improved side with much more strength in depth now.

I think to only include Salford as other title contenders is a bit simplistic. I think any one of half a dozen teams could win the title. eg Orient, Chesterfield, Barnet, Fylde etc etc. Think its going to be really tight again.

Should reach the playoffs this time but we do need to beat some of the other contenders at home.

I like your optimism, but IMO I think we will struggle to go up as Champions (this year at least). I just don't see that we are that finished as of yet. However, give it ten more games and if all is going well, my thoughts will likely change.

I am pretty confident we have what it takes to finish top 7. Top 3 possibly.

But one thing is certain, we are looking our strongest for many seasons.

I think this is going to be our year.
