But somehow we’re loaning about not enough slots to register players. 

Crewe must be due a payment if he plays a few more matches. Doesn't make sense that he hardly ever gets any minutes.

I will think what I want, as it least it means that I think for myself.

I get no consolation from seeing the opposition saying how good we are having failed to beat them. Became a weekly occurrence 2 seasons ago after defeats.

I thought we were excellent today until the closing stages when fatigue set in for one or two.  Even so, we looked comfortable until the most ludicrous free kick was awarded by the linesman.  Clearly, the guy had never played the game as it was simply a case of the excellent Hedges being far too strong from the Wrexham lad.  As arbitro said earlier, the referee had let so many tackles go and then awards the softest of soft free-kicks.

I thought Forshaw was outstanding in midfield and was very much on the front foot.  Hedges too, was a real workhorse down the left side.  Pratt again, kept it simple and cleared his lines without fuss.  The lad is beginning to really grow into first team football.  A word of praise too for the often decried Pears.   He made some good saves and did well under pressure on corners.  It was good to see him coming out and catching the ball.  He really did look the part today.

Once again, it was another away performance that was a joy to watch and in stark contrast to our home performances.  Certainly those of us who travel to away games have seen the best of Rovers this season.

His first priority was to keep the guy boxed in down there and hope to win a throw in; second priority was to not let a cross come in; least priority was to take any risk at all trying to win the ball back. A cross onto Moore’s head was the worst possible outcome from that situation and that’s what initiating contact led to, bad call or not.

That’s exactly what he was doing. I refer you to arbitro’s post above and he refereed on the league for teens of years

You don't really touch on it in your post, but what do you make of the players that came off the bench, the bunch of mainly recent Gestede signings; De Neve, Henriksson, Gueye and Baradji?

You put the closing stages down to fatigue but we had made plenty of subs who were fresh but again totally incapable of managing the game or making correct decisions to lighten the load on those behind them.

Yeah still harsh on him though. He’s been outstanding in that left wing back position. Doesn’t deserve the criticism. Ain’t his fault he’s too strong for the opponent.

He could had been a little bit more careful in that situation knowing that there was one min to get three huge points. He's one of our oldest players but you do question it...

Todd is our captain so why should there be an issue.. think he will be back for Tuesday.

Not sure what Todd Cantwell has to do with a discussion about Ryan Hedges

Sometimes I feel really out of kilter with most people, I just can’t watch this and see it as a horrendous decision.

I think it’s a foul more often than not for an attacker or a defender in that situation. Not quite shoulder to shoulder but shoulder into the back. 

Naive and stupid from Hedges (who has been good overall this season)

No need to do what he did.

Yeah moronic challenge right in front of the linesman. Seconds to go. When will we learn.

Clumsy tackle. In the modern game, you should never give the opposition an excuse to go down, and that's what Hedges did.
