Sounds like we can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Come on. We act like we can't handle two projects at once. Maybe we can't. Maybe that's what Kaleen Allyn is there to help with. Idk. Pretty weak sounding.
re: kop/training ground. I feel the original timeline made financial sense. kop first for instant revenue then training ground, academy etc. they didnt forsee the kop being delayed by 12+ months, and as for climbing the pyramid I think we're 2+ years ahead of schedule (especially when we go up this year). ie. we now need the training ground 2 years before they planned. that said, the only reason the 2 can't be done at the same time is money. so lets go up, take the extra £10M from the EPL and pump half of that into infrastructure. (Cleworth gets the other half!)
I think the Mendy extension may show us that Parky doesn't intend to play Longman at left wingback.
Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk. Promotion to the Championship would put us way ahead of schedule if we do this season, but it's another tick in the box on the list of success! and I would argue the most difficult achievement compared with developing the clubs infrastructure
Why does andy look like gary oldman in 5th element
Brum did to us what Max Cleworth did a few times early this season; ie waited far outside the box until just before the kick is taken, then ghost in to the far edge of the 6yd box where he wasn't picked up and scored. Blocking of Dan Scarr didn't impact that, they did it from corners on each side and it worked each time – with a bit of better direction Brum could have scored 3 instead of just 1.
I agree with Longman playing soon and at left wing back. I don't think that will mean James McClean will play at left midfield – Ollie Rathbone seems to be a permanent fixture there. Maybe play him in the centre or, more likely, over at right midfield.
Mendy's new contract might just be a way to squeeze a transfer fee out of him in the summer window.
I'm with andy on promotion. Give it all it's got right now given where we are in the table, get up. Survive and invest over the coming years on infrastructure. Plus we'll get another season of welcome to wrexham… Great show
Faal cannot go out on loan… Played for WBA before Wrexham this season.
Great episode! Yes, Max made us all proud in how he handled Stansfield and I agree with Tim — shout out to Böðvarsson getting 3 goals in 2 games at Burton (I would love to hear the back story on why Parky never played him). But I am scared of the weaker teams. We tend to play down to the weaker teams and don't get the result. We could lose to any of these 'easy' teams.🤞 that we don't.❤🤍❤
Got to agree with Andy and use the best players we have and put sentimentality aside and play our best 11, yes most of them have got us to where we are, but we’re a squad before a team of 11.
Episode 200: The Epic.
"We COULD have scored a winner in the last 15 minutes "
With a better referee Birmingham COULD have had 2 penalties, Wrexham COULD have had a player sent off for elbow to head.
Fair play though, you were the better team on the night. Although we was missing our entire 4 man midfield, Paik, Iwata, Willumson and Anderson ( he came off the bench ,2nd half) Blues fans are happy with a point. Especially with your home record. Still 5 points clear with 2 games in hand, and you took 1 point from a possible 6😂😂
Dalby scored against Rangers…….just saying
I agree, the newsletter is a fantastic read
Fantastic live event, it was an absolutely fabulous night, all guests were great, and the lads were consummate hosts
2 assists this season from Palmer Andy, it is not working
Gilpins Gripes anyone?
with half a team out lads
What if the Longman pick up is setting up a formation change with McClean and Longman on the left with Barnett and Mendy on the right. Like a 4-4-2
Not sure about the very confident predictions for the Stevenage game, they won pretty easily earlier in the season,and are decent, this will be a difficult match
Tell me, the training ground why not buy into Colliers park with FAW?!?
Surely FAW could be interested
Tell me, the training ground why have more permanent deal with the FAW?
Surely it’s big enough?
Hardly birmingham should of had 3 first half .wrexham got better in 2nd
Mr Randall got the Fisherthem line in.
