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

[upthemaggies]

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

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.

It’s the sense of entitlement that bothers me. A couple of weeks ago when it was freezing they were asking how football at such a high level (WSL) was being postponed. Demanding under soil heating.
Sorry they might play for Man City women, but for all intents and purposes it’s NOT Man City. The womens teams at the big clubs are subsidised and for that they are fortunate.
The womens game is in its infancy, and I’m sure as more money goes in to it, then they will get better facilities. Until then, they should be thankful for the financial support they get, continue to grow the game and WSL as a product.
What next? Equal pay.

Having only listened to the last 30 minutes of the game on Radio Nottm and from reading the posts on here it seems that today this team showed us what they are made of. The strongest toughest qualities that many of us have always wanted them to be at this level. It was a coming of age so to speak. We not only won the game but won the physical and mental battle. Especially in what seems to have been a day where everything was against us including a referee who seems to have reached the poor standards of Joe Ross at Dorchester all those years ago. Ironically named Paul Johnson and shares the same surname as the Torquay manager. It was 12v10 and we did the job and did it well.

Once again Wrexham have batted the ball back in our court. We can only control what we do so we can go to Chesterfield with confidence and with a big following. Lets make it count and be the 12th man and come back to Nottingham with another three points.

Wrexham fans are hoping Parky will rest a couple as they're looking leggy...I thought they said they'll win the league because of the depth they have in the squad...lets see that depth then.
