More Premier League children on loan to help us in our relegation fight - wonderful...

It's possible, sure...

But nah, I think it's probably quite obvious...

The kid is moving out of his family home to go to London alone, he'll be at the opposite end of the country... he's only 19! It's likely that he's been pushed out of the Club that he adores, against his will, where he's played at since he was 6 alongside his big brother.

The poor lad has probably had an emotional meltdown, and I wouldn't blame him.

This is what we need, rampant speculation...You haven't a clue what he might be thinking or what went on last night.

Could just as easily say, he's 19, might have asked them to throw in £100k FIFA points last minute...

How many Wrexham fans are there? If only BBC Wales would tell us !!!

For most of the game sounded like there’s about 700, not 7,000 

Hyam bodying Mullin, love it

Telalovic hat trick to finish it off, that’ll do me

Can’t wait for all our Welsh friends to return to this thread post game…

The state of BBC wales presenting. It’s like watching Gavin and Stacey. Genuinely just went with the following sentence “fair play, to be fair…”

We’re letting an incredibly agricultural, 4th division team run rings round us. 

We’re literally the ideal team to play. “Only won 4 times away from home all year, rock up at Ewood and play yourself into form. Added bonus is you’ll see Rovers play some lovely passes in midfield as you roll them over”

We are so shite. It’s this year or next year for the trip back to League 1

Fundamentally, if 75% of the money was to be reinvested in the playing staff, selling him is the right call (for the right fee) under the "trading model". We'd be much better served signing proper strikers/goalkeepers.

However, we know the whole amount will be pocketed to cover losses and just signal the further dismantling of our club as we continue the slow, painful slide to League 1.

All of it, (including some of the statements from our own supporters), is just football fans being football fans.

It's just a shame that our club isn't in better shape, so we could have the same sense of anticipation, and more fans in the ground on the night.

Regardless of the current shape of club, why would anyone be getting excited about playing a 4th division side on a Monday night? It’s such a non-event other than the fact they’re selling 7,000 tickets, not the 500 they would have sold pre Hollywood…

That was some visionary, who back in 1864 formed a reality tv team. Hats off to them. 

There's loads of old clubs, with a long history of mediocrity (bouncing around the lower tiers of the EFL). Being founded fairly early doesn't make them particularly special. You've been plucked from 16 years pottering around the National League for the purposes of a reality TV show, so what Abbey said is factual.

Popped on to a Wrexham forum and saw some slagging off of our crowds...not a hard google to see what Wrexham averaged pre-Deadpool...

That's an almighty leap of logic, although that's nothing new for you.

I'd suggest it's probably because Leo is much easier to type than Walhstedt rather than some mythical fatherly bond.

The “Leo” point might be flawed but the poster in question does defend Wahlstedt no matter how many mistakes he makes. Apparently he was brilliant against Watford despite directly throwing away all 3 points…

Anyway, irrelevant ultimately. They’re both crap

Delighted with the draw being at home. 

Hopefully it will be 10 pounds per ticket again

Not a chance of it being a tenner a ticket with Wrexham almost assured of selling 7,000. Waggots eyes will be showing $$ signs right now...

Come to think of it, imagine Wrexham would have to agree on ticket prices and given they'll be getting 45% of receipts makes sense for them not to discount as well.

It’s like we’re trying to set the record for youngest squad ever assembled. We’re in a battle to stay in the league, don’t need children from two clubs we used to send our cast offs to!

Just now, Andy said:

So all of the saves, catches, interceptions that proceeded 2 soft goals means that he's 'completely out of his depth'?

Christ 🙄

Are you Leo’s agent?! He’s absolutely shite at the moment. He made one semi decent save against Watford and at the same time cost us all 3 points.

Going back to your original point, in no way would it be “harsh” if he was dropped. If anything it would be doing the lad (and the rest of us) a massive favour.

Just now, Andy said:

I've watched every minute of every game, both in person (home) and online (away).

Rewatch the majority of the Watford game, just using one recent game as an example, and point out how he's 'completely out of his depth'?
He was having a good game until their first goal went in; both were soft from a GK perspective.

He was having a good game until he made two howlers and threw away the game. Christ 🙄

Bit harsh, to be fair.
He's done alright generally, made some good saves (Watford first half especially), but has left a few soft ones in.

This must be a wind up? You can’t have watched him for the last few weeks and thought anything other than “he’s massively out his depth”

Christ, we’ve hit rock bottom. Things can only get better (probably)

How is Ennis doing?  I see he has now played a few games.  
We miss him as he was able to make nothing clearances into something and get us up the pitch.  He was also so super sharp in the box.  Whenever he played you sensed he was going to score.  
Just like Whittaker and Hardie (before his injury) he’d have a bucket load of goals by now.  

This has to be a wind up surely!?!? I know it was League One last season but I can’t see how he can genuinely have impressed you. Looks a pub player 

Fix... 😆
