Unfit and underprepared

Can't you find yourself saying something positive about Wrexham FC? It's the first game of the season.

Controlled second half well without running ourselves into the ground.

Mullin needs a goal under his belt asap to settle the nerves.

I don't think Mullin has nerves, he just uses instinct and that desire to score goals. His overall game was average today but he still oozes class.

And yet we still scored twice in the last 20 minutes. Think what we’ll be like when we have caught up to the standards you’re expecting!

Effort and application 100%. Ability not so much.

He's better than O'Connor,who is so overrated ( when fit)

For how long exactly has he a) been fit and b) started in his natural position?

If we’re talking competitive minutes then very, very little.

We were only saved by our cheque book today which is fine but let’s not kid ourselves

That's what the cheque books for though isn't it? Without using our spending power we would have lost that game

Not all 46 games are gonna plain sailing, gonna be teams that grab a sneaky goal and park the bus/waste time.
