Wrexham is in the balance...

[durhampie]

The front line has gone backwards in the last two seasons, when we had Wootton, Thomas and Dennis that was strength in depth, now replaced with poorer options, with the real worry tomorrow onwards for a month if either KW or RR goes too.

And to think we actually paid money for one of the recent signings....

Well, it would also appear that other teams dont fear us either. That's why we are 9th in the league. Do you honestly think we could win a game of such importance with the likes of Sam, Mitchel and Nemane playing ???

Unless we really have a lot out then yes we should play. I’d be more concerned if Cameron, Lacey and Palmer are all out. We know we’re without Rodrigues, we can live with that, if (as you suggest as worst case) we’ve no Wootton and Roberts and are playing Sam and Mitchell (unlikely) then I still think we’d enough in this squad to get a result. We’d need some luck, but look at the result we got at their place. So FFS grow a pair and get behind whatever team we scrape onto the pitch.

And how much was that fee reported to be?

If you are referring to Mitchell it was peanuts.

We are not in a position to be throwing good money after bad, regardless of it only being 15k

Stop being so melodramatic. To put it into some context his transfer fee was probably equates to roughly a months wages of one of our former superstars that helped our relegation to the NL.

I bet Mitchell's wages are modest so I wouldn't worry. You should have been bemoaning Dennis and Enzios transfer fees and weekly wages. Look where that got us and our former owner.

I didn’t realise you were the club accountant.

Let’s be honest. As far as you are concerned Notts have been crap for years. So paying a quid in wages is too much.

I know it's not the way of the footballing world, but for me, if we have enough available players we should go ahead, regardless of where they stand in the pecking order, and this should be the approach of all clubs.

As we're seeing in wider society, covid is providing a perfect excuse for pretty much anything and the high pressure environment of football is clearly no exception.

A couple of seasons back, Chelsea had 30 players out on loan, but are now complaining they are being penalised for playing a weakened team. You couldn'tmake it up. Surely the whole point of having a 'squad' of players is to enable you to play at all times?

Yes I think we're definitely more reliant now on one player - namely Wootton - as our orthodox centre-forward and goal scorer.

Kairo Mitchell has had some good games and his pace is useful, but he seems to play better as an outside forward than a centre-forward.

Eli Sam - well - he has shown flashes of brilliance in his time with us, but for much of the rest of the time he's either anonymous or quite error-prone. I hoped against hope that he would start to impose himself as he got more used to English football, because I'm sure there's a player in there somewhere, but he clearly hasn't convinced Ian Burchnall to give him any sort of meaningful chance, and he's fast running out of time.

Lewis Knight has been unfortunate with injuries and could yet prove himself to be asset, but in the summer it seemed as though he was being lined up to play a wide position anyway.

If Wootton stays then I can't see us signing any new strikers before the summer, but we're certainly at least one reliable forward down on where we were 18 months ago.

How do you know that? The owners this morning have said signings will be made if t he right player is available.

Regards Mitchell, I'm not gonna judge him until he gets a run of games in his preferred position which isn't going to happen with Wooton at the Club
