Highlights vs Wrexham

[Killerkline]

Aware of all that, but that 2nd half in May was such a bombardment that they'd have been given it on points for sure (if it was a boxing match and if we hadn't actually scored )...
So I think they have outplayed us 3 times (defining 'outplay' as even marginally edging the play) and we're supposed to be the possession team. Even though we got 7pts out of 9, I still say this tells us we aren't quite ready to dominate and still have a way to go to secure top 3

We were definitely outplayed on Monday, and it looks similar to the problems Ardley had for most of the first half of last season, not enough football from the wing-back (then full-back) and holding midfield positions.. ...
There's still hope that the recruitment got it right, but many on here are expressing doubts and not without reason

Why does 7 out of 9 points tell us ‘we aren’t quite ready to dominate and still have a way to go to secure top 3’? 2 of the 3 games were last season.

And we’ve played 3 games this season, 2 away, 1 of those against the league favourites. We’ve got 5 points and unbeaten. But, ‘many on here are expressing doubts and not without reason’? By no means am I suggesting we’re the finished article, but come on. It’s been far from a disastrous start.

You're making a leap there.

Like most, I'm very positive about our start. It's just that I hate this league and I've never made any bones about that. So I'm always looking for the way out, signs that we can finish top or top 3. I guess this makes me the 'anti-pragmatist' as well as the anticlough .. I want to see us boss Wrexham and the rest of the top teams because that's what it's going to take. Obviously, the jury is still out on our recruitment. Did they nail it at Centre-Mid and Wing-backs? Let's hope so, but time will tell. The good news is that even if some of the recruitment proves to be average, we still might be holding one of the 2 golden tickets out of here...

If both Rodrigues AND Roberts play to their full potential, or very close to it, for a full season we can get 1st.
Even if just one of them does, we will be top 3.
