Welcome to Wrexham S1E3 "Rebuilding" discussion thread (spoilers)

[Rob]

Discussion thread for Episode 3 as and when it drops later...

Caution this thread will contain spoilers for those who have not watched it

With just weeks before the season begins, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds find themselves having to convince star football players and executives to take a chance on Wrexham.

[redone]

fair play to R&R, they listen and read the fans tweets, forums,when they explain the Mullin transfer

[Superunknown]

Yeah presume they must have had some idea we wanted him but love to see them discussing it.

Love Rob’s passion for everything, just so infectious. Reckon Rob could get me to do anything if he had 90 minutes on the phone with me. Can see why Parky and Mullin were eventually persuaded by him.

Quite an understated episode compared to the first two.

Shaun Winter is front and central in this but I didn't really warm to him to be honest.

Fleur is bigged-up and unveiled and then there's a very telling Ryan Reynolds quote when it says that she elected not to feature in the series. Read into that what you will.

Parky - originally said no but there's no insight as to what really changed his mind. He said no and then suddenly there he is taking training. Bit of a missed opportunity there.

Good feature on Kerry Evans and I hope she features regularly.

So no need for a big pile of tissues for this one. Shaun does need them though.

Wrexham FC was keeping him going and going to the games was good for his mental health as he could go with his kids

I've found that Wrexham FC cuts both ways in terms of mental health!

I suppose they wanted to show a fairly typical Wrexham fan, and I think it succeeds at that.

I have to keep reminding myself that our viewing experience is probably very different to the general public- when they were at the 'first training session' I was counting the players who weren't there at the first training session because we hadn't signed them at that point!

These episodes do also serve as a reminder that our start this season has been far better- took us 9 games to get to 13 points.
