Re: Ayr Utd. (H) ratings

Formation - I'm not convinced that the five across midfield had any more idea of their roles and responsibilities in a 3-5-2 than the three and the two do in the appalling 4-2-3-1 system. Obviously this is all to do with coaching - or the obvious absence of it. Ok Barton nominally sat in the 'quarterback' role, but Redmond has very little positional sense and still doesnt look fit. Asking Tollitt to play other than as an out and out winger is a waste. He was lively on the ball, but I think he's wasted in our two current formations. Cries out for an easy to understand 4-4-2 to get the best out of him. Consequently we were easily pulled out of position, leaving big holes in areas of the pitch for Ayr to exploit. However this was not as blatant as it is with the 4-2-3-1 formation where the midfield are just not drilled effectively to play this way. Its a really tough formation to execute - watch Tottenham, even they cant do it properly. If you play 3-5-2 the full backs are key and Barnum & Bailey and Rutherford struggled to do be effective. Rutherford possibly as he was in an unfamiliar position and Barnum because he is truly hopeless. Felt sorry for Cleworth having to constantly cover for him and then never having in the right place for a decent out ball. You could often see Barnum stood thinking WTF am I meant to do now and despite his limitations, that is mostly down to a lack of coaching and drilling in of the system. Thought the back three did ok. Lawlor did organise them well and needs to be back in the first team in place of Chambers (who I don't think is half as bad as many do!) But Ayr were a disappointment. I don't think they were at full strength, but they looked National League 'light' to me. Still, a wins a win and I want to win every game Wrexham take part in. Waterford or Raith Rovers next would be good trips. Would be exceed the 450 odd that Ayr brought with them? Not judging by some of the negativity on here! |

If we’re going 433 then that should be it. Stop isolating the CF. I think most of us would agree. N’est pas. This means that we need the holding midfield general to anchor the 3 man midfield IMO. And NO not like the Mark Griffiths column suggests Akil Wright is not the answer. It’s a replacement for Walker we need. I thought BH brought in Barton for the job. If he isn’t good enough then replace him. Young seems to have an eye for goal and if Redmond had any form then maybe we could be more creative. JJ, a fit Tollitt plus 1 as the 3 option. Amen

Re: Ayr Utd. (H) ratings
Well it is a bit tinpot isn’t it. By the time we kick off next Saturday there is a real chance that we will be in the bottom four. Meanwhile , some fans are getting very excited about losing another Saturday in the near future in order to play in some half baked cup competition. I sometimes wonder whether for some the prospect of a trip away and all day drinking is actually more important than Wrexham FC.

Re: Ayr Utd. (H) ratings
It’s getting on for a quarter of the season though. If we win the game missed yesterday we will still be in the bottom half. The focus should be on getting these games played , picking up points and avoiding getting dragged into a potentially disastrous situation. Furthermore home games postponed on Saturdays are changed to less lucrative Tuesday night slots.

Playing catch up is hard to do plus I'd rather have our squad concentrating on our league form. Don't get me wrong, I never want us to throw a match and if we win these games, so be it. I just feel it's not the ideal situation for us to continue in it. Last edited by Ooh aah Paskin; 8th September 2019 at 08.24:25.. |
