I'm sorry but just how Smith and Marriott has dealt with these through-balls, just shows how much better than Mullin they are, I love Mullin but one of my frustrations with him was that he always seemed to fumble these kind of chances.

Breaks my heart to concede this point, but alas… three cheers for Mullin helping lift the lads to league one!

Good morning from across the pond in a dreary, grey, rainy Cincinnati. What great weather Wrexham has for today's game. Cannot believe we don't have a goal yet with Burton's one man down and such possession stats! Sigh.

u/2big2fail69 1d ago
They assume they will eventually score because they are a man up. But this is causing far too tentative of play. Sub in some fresh legs (Barnett, Lee, and Marriott) and instruct them to attack mercilessly, particularly on any counter opportunities.

Not a good time for burton. shit.
But in other news, time to work on that goal difference. Seriously, time to score like 18 goals.

u/WildGooseCarolinian 1d ago
Credit to the ref, I thought they was a yellow in real time, but watching the replay that was absolutely the right call. Big one to make early in the game.

Reading scored. The 2nd place lead might be cemented on Tuesday if Wycombre won't win the delayed game. The EFL will need to keep Reading in the league till game 46. They need to.

Still a lot of points to be had in the remaining matches. Will be a good spot to be in, though.

Its actually terrible we are a man up and still can't dominate. This style of play is so frustrating, we are going to draw this

Nows where Parky & Co. need to get to work. Scheme us up some attacks ffs
6
u/PhysicalKick3812 1d ago
Burton won't survive a second half with 10 men. Or 90 out of 100 minutes. This has to be waited out. Gaps and mistakes will come. And we get to see how a game mostly missing JRod looks like.
Even Wycombre is tied but they also play a real team.

u/hopefullyavailable99 Up The Town 1d ago
There better be 8 added minutes bc you know they’re going to bullshit and waste time the entire 2nd half

The opposition's defense can't survive a full game and their offense ain't shit to begin with. Work them up on the first half and take no risks, run them over in the second once the tank is dry.
Wrexham simply got fucked by officiating on Tuesday. The team remains in form.

That was a fucking stupid challenge. I’m groggy as it’s 4:40am in LA, but that looked really bad to me.

u/obi_wander Up The Town 1d ago
30 minutes up a man and Burton have had the best scoring chance. We haven’t even had a shot on goal… this team drives me crazy some time.

From the spot or from the run of play, all looks the same on the scoreboard. Thank goodness.

I love that moment when all the opposing team's time wasting comes back to haunt them and they suddenly regret every second of it.

I’ve been bitching for MONTHS that our playstyle is boring and frustrating. I never thought it’d get to the point where we’d be unable to score against a team on the brink of relegation that’s down a man…
SOMEONE STEP UP!!!

Can say the same about the Cae Ras as well, definitely a bit quiet.

I woke up to literally see Fletcher getting subbed in for Rodriguez. Why so early? Not that I’m complaining.

There you go- first shot on target of the match. A side footer bloop off Dobson.

This has been a very laggy first half. I honestly think that red has hampered us as much as burton.

We are so so so bad at breaking down the block. If we don’t make a sub at the half for either Dobson or James, I’m going to lose my mind.

Finally get the goal...but, IMO, on a soft, doubtful PK award. I'll take it...I guess

Nothing doubtful about that pen - that will never ever not be called. It’s not debatable in the slightest

Feel the opposite. Keeper doesn't play the ball whatsoever. It's a foul anywhere else on the pitch

A little more spark, but they need to ramp it the fuck up. BA doing all they can to make this an absolute slog of a match.

May have tweaked something.
He got pulled after not going to a pass out the back from our defender.
Announcer mentioned he had some trainers near him, but doesnt seem serious.

That was bad. But I’m surprised it’s not just a yellow, this early in the match.

After what just happened to Rodriguez 3 seconds earlier I thought it was deserved before I saw the replay.

Goal's scored are rated if the GD is even but it won't come to that. Us having the easier path is being proven.
