Home again in Wales!
While the fans head south on the short trip to the fair town of Shrewsbury on Thursday evening, our pampered heroes fly from Hawarden to Shawbury on the Wednesday night for a team bonding (no, not that sort!) exercise in a secret country hotel, before driving through the North Shropshire countryside to Meole Brace for an afternoon's shopping with wives, partners and hangers-on! Yes, it's Saturday. There's no football, and I am bored. Very bored!

So it's back to the point-grinder on Thursday night after the winter-snap clears and we are back to milder climes. What should be a walk through the quarry to Gay Meadow might be anything but; especially as they have moved abode to a soulless box on the outskirts. PP's mission is simply to pick up 3 points on the road ahead of the Brum Brum drive back to the Racecourse the following Thursday. What has gone wrong with match scheduling, these days? Bring back the 3-15 PM Saturday kick-off.

Despite several thousand rumours about Dalby's whereabouts and Faal's ability to go out on loan, it would seem nothing much will happen on the transfer front until R&R cast their runes at this infamous board meeting. So, we go with what we've got. Palmer will be fully recharged after his break, so he will have more wattage than the infamous Cae Ras floodlights. Will he give a poignant rendition of 'Lilli Marlene', Marlene Dietrich-style, or 'Leaning on a Lamp-post' in honour of the late, great George Formby. He and Mullin will no doubt strum their ukuleles before the mighty Fletch and Faal come on to score the goals.

Shrewsbury are in a bit of a pickle at the foot of the table, but don't expect them to roll over and have their tummies tickled. This will be a scrap: a good, old-fashioned derby, with the team that wants it most coming out on top. Let's hope our heroes need the 'win bonus' to pay off their Xmas credit card bills! What should be a straight-forward win could be anything but, especially if we go there thinking it's already in the bag.

Fletcher, Faal, Fletcher!

A good win before the Blues!
 
It's a bit early for this but I'm suffering from football withdrawal symptoms too.
We're not at 11pm on the last day of the window yet, so it's likely to be the usual suspects named for the starting 11.
Without gametime, the team will be lethargic and could well go down a goal before a half time pep talk straightens their hair and we lay seige to the Shrews and this time get a bag full.
4-1 to Wrexham and as I'm on dry January, that's not the Christmas Cheer talking.
I do see Mullin and Palmer starting and they'll eventually combine for a goal or 2. Palmer in particular stung into action by the lamppost jibes as he 'rays'es his game and shines brightly over the penalty spot.
Mullin finally completes his injury recovery and scores the January goal of the month.
Rathbone and Lee in midfield for sure, but not sure of the 3rd one. James or Dobson will be a tossup, but I'm going with Matty.
At the back we'll see Brunt, EOC and Cleworth reprise their roles with McClean and Barnett jogging up and down the wings doing stepovers and taunting the royalists with renewed vigour after such a long layoff.
A cameo from Faal again, but this time a goal. The rest of the subs will have no surprises.
Dalby phones in to see how it's going.
As for Shrewsbury's players, who cares :)
 
34-point difference tells a story - we’re much , much better than these - but they have shown signs of improvement (not difficult) and it’s their biggest game of the season. I can see us totally bossing the midfield and winning this comfortably……but my fear is they get ahead and defend for their lives.

0-3 Lee, SPM, Jimmy Mack
 
34 point difference. Sick of the excuses away from home; got to go there, put in a good performance and win.

You have to be a certain age to remember 3-15 kick offs. Happy boyhood days!
 
We need to go there and win, and win well; we are perfectly capable of doing so and it’s high time we went for the jugular of a significantly lesser team- this is what the slops are.

0-3 Mullin, Lee and Fletcher
