A strong midfield unit is not a nice to have in a promotion chasing side, it's an absolute must. Alarm bells have been ringing in preseason games against the Dog and Duck

Well I wish you'd tell Parkinson, id imagine he has no clue how important it is, despite having 20 years managerial experience.

How do you know what we have and haven't done about it? Of course you can question it due to the fact that we haven't signed anyone yet, but the fact that Parkinson has repeatedly said he wants to bring more people in, and that we will keep working on it until the window closes and weve left a pretty obvious shirt number free, suggests people are working on it as we speak. There have been umpteen reports from other managers and chairmen and people who are involved in transfers saying that things are moving slower this year, I just don't think panicking about it and mentioning it on every thread is particularly helpful. But you keep doing it if it helps you, its not for me to tell you what to do with your time.

With Dibble in goal you're always waiting for a clanger and our midfield that constantly gets outplayed, Mullin and Hyde will be feeding off scraps because we'll just hoof it

The key is a decent keeper and 2 solid quality CM's and they should be in place for game 1. They aren't and that annoys me because we've had the time and certainly the money

Based on that then, the team will have confidence in Dibble as I read somewhere he kept 3 clean sheets in pre season games. As for hoofing it, lots of people wanted to retain Kelleher, Vassell and Pearson who were hoofball masters.
Despite injuries, this is a new era with proper manager, coaches and off field professionalism.
Give the team a chance before writing them off before a ball has been kicked in anger.

Exactly that.

Totally agree with that, the problem is a very small percentage on here seem unwilling to give everyone a chance. At the end of the day this is a new era at Wrexham and there's no need for people to already be moaning before a ball has been kicked in the league.

Patience is key in the transfer window and tbh. I'm glad we are holding out and battling with other clubs for the best. Unlike every other season where we have a full squad of dross.

Just look at Hayden and Mullin for example, I say no more!

No body is saying dont strengthen , The way your talking we are rubbish in midfield , Davies and Young were two of the better performers last year , and will be coached by someone who knows what their doing .

Edit: Adrian Krol!

Sounds exciting. Imagine him getting squad number 47, I could get a Wrexham top with AK47 on the back.

Manager not doing anything??
So his comments are all lies then

Parkinson admits he might not have put the finishing touches to his squad before the big kick-off against Solihull at Damson Park.

The transfer window closes on August 31 and Parkinson hinted that Wrexham are hoping to prise targets away from their clubs.

"There is time," said Parkinson.

"When you are trying to get players away from other clubs it is not straightforward and we have got to work towards that.

Where are those quotes from Jessop?

Finishing touches for me is maybe one player.

We need 4 first team players by his own admission. That's not finishing touches. We now need 2 CB's and 2 CM's all who need to play from day one. For me that's sailing far too close to the wind and is a huge risk.

We could be into October by the time side settles down and with our midfield that could mean a large deficit to close as the games come thick and fast

I really hope I'm wrong
