Anyone still believes IB is good enough? Yet another loss from a winning postition. He simply hasn't got the foggiest (and the players know it).

Did well against Birmingham yet completely changes the team. Seemingly no plan again other that hoof it forward and hope for the best.

Hendry should have started... Guess IB doesn't want any creativity as could have messed up the long ball 'plan'.

What's the point in buying in players and leaving that inept, incompetent, clueless individual in charge?

I will not be renewing my season ticket if he remains in charge for our league Two campaign next season. Not a chance.

10 defeats in 14 home league games, that is a lot. Losing at home to teams down with them as well. Cut adrift of safety having played more than anybody else.

Apparently they had 5 or 6 new players in, so the owner has backed him and is obviously intent on sticking with IB for the time being. Let's hope sweet justice will be served and we'll be playing them next season.

I have a sneaky feeling that he may not be there...

There are some reet numpties on the Wrexham site. A couple moaning about us suggesting they are lucky late winners - not seen that on this thread (the one quoted) - in fact a few have said it’s likely to be the difference between us and Wrexham. Then one has put in that we have scored enough late lucky goals ourselves. I thought I had missed something so checked and it couldn’t be any further from the truth as minutes 75-90 is our least product with 9 yet it’s Wrexhams most productive with 16.
I’m in the camp that it’s the ability to go to the end and grind results out that could be the difference. I would never say a team is lucky to score late. Games last in excess of 90 minutes and you need the ability to score at any point. Some goals will be scruffier than others.
One stat I will say that Wrexham have over us, and there is luck involved (as the refs in the NL are sh1t) is the number of penalties they have been awarded. 6 v 3. Made a difference against Bromley and as it turned out today. Don’t know about the other 4, of which one was missed.
Checked - Mullin scored a pen at 3-3 v Barnet. Scored in injury time @1-1 v Oldham. Maidstone in a 5-0 difference.
So out of the 5 scored, 4 could be considered important and potentially game changing. They may well have deserved those penalties but I know we should have had a fair few more than the 3 awarded.

Its just one big play thing at the moment for the Hollywood guys. They will soon get fed up of having to keep putting their hand in the pockets to pay those over inflated wages. Once the documentaries have finished and the interest from abroad disappears they will be off.
They suffered a huge disappointment in their quest for financial help from the government to redevelop the kop, but that has since been turned down. Happy days.

As much as I'd like to, I can't agree. While it's big money for the National League, it's probably pocket money to them.

These Hollywood types generally have fragile egos, so I can't see them leaving Wrexham in a mess.

One of the issues that could scupper Wrexham if they decided to call it a day, is that some of the money put into the club has been as loans. Eventually they may want to recoup their monies..

Again, I can't see it. And the same could be said about the Reedtz brothers.
