Wrexham (A)

[countygump]

Agree and hopefully this will be firmly instilled in the team, a draw really isn't all that much use. The risks we need to take aren't at the 'goalie up for set pieces' level but it's not far off...
What do we think are the title chances after this game? I'd say Lose 2% Draw 15% Win 55%. That's worth throwing everything bar the kitchen sink at I think...

Agreed, AC. Let's not end the season wondering, go for it, chit or bust.

Here's the ref for the game on Monday, Mr Tallis. Especially selected by Ryan...

Maybe, but even that isn't enough to change the approach

It'd be interesting to see Wrexham's approach if we're level going into the last 15... would they play for a draw knowing 3 wins and a draw wins them the title? I think they would try to defend that

I think they'll play for the draw if that's the case with 15 to go. They don't need to win it, just not lose it.

No I don’t see us going for anything less than a win, we play no other way. I just think they could possibly lose again if we draw.

Hopefully that won't enter into LW or the team's thinking.
Wrexham have been losing at a rate of once every 14 games...nobody should be relying on them losing one in the final 4.

They go Yeovil (H) Win, Barnet (A) draw, B'Wood (H) win, Torquay (A) win and it's B'Wood and Chesterfield in the play-offs for us.

So our approach is clear. But wonder if the draw will be in their minds even before the final 15....
Maybe the manager's but I doubt their team will, they're too used to bludgeoning teams, either dominating or pounding away for late winners

I think that’s their problem, I personally think if there’s 15 to go and we’re drawing they won’t go full on to win, not against us.

[Magpies1959]

Agree about a win being almost essential, but their are different ways of getting that win. If we go their all guns blazing and go a goal behind,, it makes it very difficult to come back from. If we try and take the sting out of them in the first half by playing possession football it might make it easier to score in the second half and either sit on it or press for a second.

End of game, all level, for sure they'll be shutting up shop

Personally can't wait, said all along I wanted to get to this game with a chance and it's perfectly set for us really. Needing to go there and win suits the way we like to play, we're never going to be a team that can set up to try and keep things tight and nick a draw, and there's enough time until the play-offs that if we do lose then we can look back at how amazing this season has been, reset and go again.

If we do manage to win it, that's when things start to get nervy. Until that point, this is one to enjoy.
