Looking from afar it seems quite possible the ED are digging their heels in on behalf of the govt because they just don't want huge sums regularly leaving the country anymore. Probably trying to force them to drop the club or sell it, that could be the real driving issue.

I know! Did you see Le Saux make a tackle? Ridiculous. And only three subs on the bench, how on earth are you supposed to completely disrupt the second half?? Thank god things have progressed.

Thankfully we now have top tier coaches like Russell Martin who can show us the right way to play the game. Hopefully we never have to return to the dark days of crossing wingers, tackling defenders and the dreaded two up front.

The thing that increasingly concerns me is how much say does the board at the FA have over the England squad, selection and tactics? I wouldn't have said it a year ago, but I was expecting (and looking forward to) Tuchel mixing things up - trying new tactics, getting a few different players in etc. Instead it's the same old players - Henderson, seriously?? - very similar tactics and very similar results. Southgate mk2. I've always thought that the England setup had a bit of a bias towards 'their' players who had come up through the youth ranks from the 'acceptable' academies - London and Manchester - it's very hard to break into the setup from the outside.

What was that nonsense with Mimms catching the ball?

You have to be a parody account, right?

I don't understand why the wingers crossed the ball into the box. They could have lost possession there. What they should have done was stopped and passed back 5 yards to the nearest player.

Not a chance.

I think the Championship is where they stall out unless Reynolds wants to throw A LOT of money at the problem - but as a player you'd definitely rather be at Wrexham than Rovers these days.

He asked for Batth and Weimann. He didn't ask for Dennis...

Piling into a random pub that was packed to the rafters with people who would usually never set foot in there to watch Rovers play on a dodgy feed. Those were the days.

Hopefully they have to pay three times the total amount they've sent over here since 2010.

No need to be sorry. If I can help I will, if I can’t I’ll say so. 👍

Thanks (Sorry for all the questions)

Yep, it's already starting. The blame now lies with Batth for "demanding" a 2 year contract. And again, spot on with dropping in another name to make things seem busy. No doubts those talks would "stall" as they have for that other defender we were in "advanced talks" with. I have no doubts that Waggott will have shown Suhail the ropes when it comes to feeding lines out to Nixon.

Sorba Thomas - remember him? - playing well for Wales against Belgium tonight Just signed a contract at Stoke

I'd give them a hand throwing all their shit into a skip when they're leaving. I'd even raise a leg to boot them up the arse on the way out.

Wake up and smell the coffee

Too much passing of the ball forward for my liking. I found myself missing the regular interplay between the centre halves

Wrexhams current squad isn’t good enough for promotion to the premier league. A lot will depend on who they actually sign

There's a tonne of appeal. A club with ambitious plans, promoted three years in a row, has global exposure and willing to spend. They have a better chance at promotion than us and will be nowhere near the bottom half of the table.

Hard to know JDT played very open leaving the defence exposed quite often in matches. Think batth suited/suits a more structured set up

If we'd have signed Batth initially when JDT wanted him, would we have gone up?

This is also likely to be the reason for their reluctance to pay the bond, even at 50%.

Fascinating that Eustace was supposed to have departed due to unhappiness with the players brought in but seems determined to hoover them up for Derby .......
