Default Re: Shite

It's all down to how the club is organised and how expectations are set. The players are not of the quality we have been used to over the years (just think back to the days of Ferguson, Connolly, Edwards, Trundle, Morrell, etc., let alone the years before that), but, even so, we look out of our depth as an attacking team because we are not set up to attack. Defense is the highest priority and it is absolutely clear and has been for nearly three years now that we are set up for tight games and slender margins.

The problem with that is simple - slender margins can go for and against you, and today it was against. Quite apart from the fact that it is boring as hell and simply not the Wrexham way. None of us who have been watching since the seventies, or at least before 2007, recognise a system that is overly defensive as the Wrexham way.

My serious issue is just that - I don't recognise my team and every week I care just a little less about what happens as they bore me to death. I'll always be Wrexham TID, but this has to change. The culture is wrong because the emphasis is wrong, because the key coaching and playing staff are wrong and the priorities are wrong.

There are lots of good people trying to make this club get somewhere and it will all come to nothing unless we address these issues first.

I’m gutted too, but that’s what happens in the playoffs.

Ah well onto season 12, and hopefully we can assemble an attack minded team next season.
Maybe Hughes should have a chat with McCallum before he gets back on their coach.

Maybe, didn't think he played that well against us, but he can score!

Not sure why everyone is so critical of us tonight. We played to our general performance all season and created many chances but no cutting edge to score. These players are very limited but gave it everything I thought. I never believed we were good enough to be promoted but this season’s been a damn sight better than the last few. All we can do is to now rebuild over the summer with the resources that we have and aim for another top 7 finish.
The referee was only yards away from the incident. Where were you?

Maybe we weren't good enough for promotion but we were better than that team of clodders and pushers.

Yes, we need more creativity and certainly need more gumption in the final third, but tonight we were also very unlucky.
