⚽Match Thread vs. Torquay Utd. 04.02.23 [NL]

Wrexham score again within three minutes. 1-2.

Sigh.
7 wins on the bounce for them if Alty can't pull another equaliser out of the bag.
5 of their next 6 league fixtures are at home where they have yet to drop a point.

Well with us playing chesterfield and Barnet tough for us to keep track
Just typical in a season where we should be promoted on merit, we have a team like Wrexham that have millionaire/ billionaire owners

If we eventually get out of this ****hole league, we must never return to it, i can still not believe we were worse than macclesfield to drop in it, in the first place

The outcome will depend on Tuesday night. If they win against Sheff Utd I can't see them staying focussed on the league with the prospect of Harry Kane and Son playing at the Racecourse and we'll then have the chance to go there at Easter needing a draw to have the title in our own hands with 3 games to play.

If they lose to Sheff U I'm mentally preparing for the Play Offs. We'll probably get today's ref in the final.

Have to agree, I'm hoping that the Blades have bigger things as a priority and play a weakened team who lose.

After extra time, on penalties.

I realise that accurate coverage at this level is minimal, but the BBC have reached a new low with our '4-4-2 formation' today! Apparently Cameron played right back, Langstaff played left back, and our front two were Chicksen and Bostock!!!!!

Do they get the Women's Super League formations right? A quarter of clubs' average attendances in the Womens Super League (Spurs ladies, West Ham ladies, Everton ladies) are lower than two clubs' average attendances in the Northern Premier League (tier 7, South Shields and FC United). And yet the women's fixtures and results are prioritised ahead of the Championship on the BBC website. If the National League got the attention and coverage the women's game got on the BBC, it makes you wonder what sort of gates we and all of the other teams in tier 5 would get.

Must admit that bugs me a bit. I'm all for being inclusive, but only in perspective. If the Women's Super League surpasses the rest in terms of interest and attendances then give them top priority by all means. I try to be tolerant of all persuasions, but even as a 'lefty', I suspect that if an LGBT+ league is founded (it probably will be one day), the BBC will feel duty bound to put it near the top of the list even though 50 fans attend.

Form minority leagues by all means, but earn your place in the pecking order.
