Wrexham come from 2-0 down to lead 3-2.

Even so, bringing in Slocombe today was the first big clanger Williams has made. Stone’s long kicking isn’t great, but Slocombe’s today was awful.

It's funny, after 15 or so minutes I was thinking to myself that Slocombe's long ball distribution was far better than Stone's.

I'm not even sure it was worse over the rest of the game, either - but I'm not sure Stone would have let all four in.

Wrexham come from 2-0 down to lead 3-2.

We are the only team in the top six to lose.

Two very good wins for Bradford City since they sacked Mark Hughes, suddenly into the mix just 4 points behind auto.

Well beat today, we felt very light bench wise when I looked at the start, if we had freshened it up with some real quality on 60 mins it could have been different.
I’m still of the thought I will be very happy with top 7 and do believe with a bit of endeavour we can do that.

I thought the same. SS managed to kick that bit shorter and was generally finding his target. Only problem was Nemane was the target and he was in front of a giant (and he can't/won't jump anyway, just sort of flops his body in the way).

It will be interesting to see anyone defending this defence after this garbage.

Hopefully those that slate Cameron will realise what a miss he was today.

That's *******s. He'd have been just as bad because generally he is, even against weaker opposition.

Stockport have now won 7 on the trot. FGR get their first home points of the season at the 7th attempt. MKD now 8 without a win and rock bottom of the current form table.

I would be very happy with top 7, but we’re going to have to strengthen in January to achieve that. We’re missing Scott to give us another option up front, have very few options in the middle of the park and the defensive problems are well documented.

We’ve exceeded pretty much everyone’s expectations so far, but today was a reality check against a very good L2 team.

That's the biggest concern at this point in the season. Feels a bit like we've still got that soft underbelly that i hoped we'd lost 12 months back.
