That's a very tough start. I'm sure you'll be back to winning ways against Shrewsbury who are one of my favourites for relegation With a keeper like this? I'm not so sure What’s your second choice like?

Mansfield have been linked with Luke Bolton today Strange because they dont play with wingers and bolton is a winger or atleast an attack minded rw of which they dont use wing backs so hed be at rb. I know the Keilor-Dunn move fell through but I can still see him going by Friday.

Yeah I saw that on RedPassion. Out of favour at Wrexham but the reason for that is he's a right winger and they feel their signing was strange as they don't play with wingers and he's not good enough defensively to play RWB (they have plenty of options there too). His output is also questionable too, so a classic L1/2 player who has bags of pace. No way RB would work. Clough may try to convert him elsewhere - Bowery now is a regular at RB (having been a ST) or be looking to have options to change his shape.

thats bad that. Always amazes me when theres clearly a bad performer in the team and in this case costing you goals and continues to pick them Keeper so every mistake is amplified, confidence is key and on loan so that will have come with strings re playing time. You'd think that would be enough to be dropped though. Clangers in consistent games, but what would worry me more is some of the technique for the "saves." I’m an associate member of the keeper’s union but there’s no defending a professional not doing better with those. He’d struggle at Sunday league if he can’t save some of those he’s got hands to.

How much did Wrexham sign him for? Sure it felt like quite a ‘big’ signing at the time as he’s clearly a good player.
Strange to be offloading him so quickly.

However Barnsley have just sold one of their players to West Brom so may now have a bit more cash to make it happen.

Fans who constantly moan about there clubs keeper should look at that clip. They do not grow on trees anymore which is why we are bloody lucky to have 2 good ones. Every week of the season you see in the highlights of keeper errors where they give away goals a sunday league keeper would be embarresed about. They,ll save a penalty but the next minute make an unforced error.

I know I need to find a way to let this go but it’s now four of the top six articles on the BBC League One page dedicated to Wrexham, the latest one being about how they’re not getting carried away after a good start.
I get the viewpoint of us staying under the radar but there’s obviously bias here from a the licence fee funded BBC.

BBC have dedicated sports writers for Welsh football who write articles about the 4 clubs to choose from in the English leagues. They're bound to have quotas for number of articles, so the 4 clubs will often have more written about them than the other English teams, particularly lower down the EFL. Have a look at the League Two section; the top four stories are about Newport.

Suggests a disproportionate amount is spent on Welsh football sports writers though...

Just had a quick flick through Bradford's matchday thread for their win against Bromley. It seems Sarc isn't impressing them yet, a few negative comments & accusations of him strolling about & they're wondering what he brings. Early days for him there but I do recall having having similar thoughts about him in periods of his time with us. Thankfully I was largely proved wrong & he played a big part in our successes in recent seasons but I think it was 100% the right time & decision to move him on in the summer. Fair play to our management for making that call on a very popular player, results & performances have so far vindicated that decision.
