Saw nothing to fear from either side in that game. Bolton try to play some decent stuff at times but lacked a cutting edge. Okunkwo decent for Wrexham & Revan looks a useful addition but they look like they really miss Mullin.

The 4 teams promoted from L2 are all unbeaten after 2 games (obviously County and the mighty Crawley are leading the way). I wonder how long ago it is since that last happened?

Wrexham had 3800 at Bolton today which should mean we'll get a decent allocation when we visit.

Could do with rydel or msh being back I could be talking absolute shite here, but players who are that lightning quick usually significantly lack end product/technical ability, as otherwise they'd be at the very top level. Even players like Adama Traore, who is absolutely rapid, only made it so far because he's not technically a great player and often fails to finish moves that he starts.

Could do with rydel or msh being back We do but not for that reason. We don't play them until December and then April. Rydel isn't the quickest and I'd say Touray would likely do a better job defensively. MSH is but Fevrier and Diamond also have pace on that side and Fevrier could play LWB too. In reality, very few are likely to get close to him. Look at how far he's behind for that first ball. It's much more about cutting off the supply or not giving him the space to run in. If he's playing at L1, his end product is likely questionable too.

I listen to the Hard Truth Podcast with Peterborough's owner fairly regularly. Ricky Jade Jones played as a central striker most of last season for them with Poku and Madon Clark (who has gone to Coventry) out wide. And McAnthony alluded to the fact that some of the fans were on Jade Jones' back for not scoring enough etc.

On the whole they have shorter careers as once their pace goes they have lost their main attribute.

Ian Danter on Talksport just now highlighting the obsession about Wrexham. When asked about they being unbeaten in league One he replied. Never mind them, focus on Stockport, won both and will finish above them, well run and respects Challinor

The whole idea of being 'unbeaten' after two games is ludicrous, even if it's technically correct. And I think tables are largely worthless until you've played about 10 games. Anything else is just a form table at this stage. Obviously it's better to have won two than lost two, but anyone concluding anything significant after a couple of games is leaving themselves as a massive hostage to fortune.
