Little old Wrexham

Is Jordan Davies being edged back in slowly after his injury or something? Must admit I am surprised he hasn't been starting. And not in the squad last night.

Out for 6 weeks.

Mclean out for 4.

[Flip Martian]

Oh FFS... Decent player too. Missed that about another injury. Thanks. Hopefully Super Paul is back soon then with no ill effects.

[ajprice]

Half time, Danny Baker sticking the boot in. Full time, 5-5.

[Flip Martian]

Wow. Danny Baker's certainly been sipping from the green cup of envy for some reason.

Good job the transfer window is still open.
You can't be shipping 5 at home and hoping to score 6.
Defenders needed asap.

Defenders and a replacement for mullin. Can’t believe they haven’t got a loan in for him yet. That was a disaster today.

[worsy]

Not the defence, the midfield selection was poor for MK and poor today. Parky got it right selecting Luke Young for Walsall and Wigan. Provides cover for the back 3 and allows the wing backs to bomb on.

Wrexham never do anything the easy way, do they! What a game. Still wondering why Young and Forde didn’t start.

Not entirely sure why Ben ‘I only train twice a week’ Foster is still making squads over Howard, either. I mean, I like the guy. But he seems to have lost his edge.

Top fella. He's obviously reached the point where he knows he's no longer able to do what he used to. He must be a bit bummed about that really but fair play to him.

[bitchstewie]

Pretty honest post here from Foster.

[fiatpower]

Fair play on him admitting it. I bet a lot of players wouldn't have the integrity to say he's not up to the job and would continue for the rest of their contract.

You could tell from his body language on Saturday. A younger Ben Foster could have got to a couple of them.

[SGirl]

Fair play to the bloke for stepping up and doing the right thing. He could have stayed on for the rest of the season, claiming a big salary, but he's realised he's not as young as he used to be and accepted it.

He'll always be remembered in Wrexham for helping us back into the EFL. And for that legendary penalty save in the game against County! I'm hoping he'll come back in some form of coaching capacity - it would be a shame to lose all that experience and knowledge.

Besides which, Super Ben Foster In Goal is a cracking song.

[Flip Martian]

Perhaps National League level was ok for him last season but League 2 is perhaps a little bit quicker. And with him a little older again he's now found that level beyond him. Some poor defending hasn't helped but he has looked less than sharp this season.

First 3 minutes of his latest footy chat video are devoted to his decision to retire:

What a lovely tribute to him as he leaves. Good luck in future endeavours fella.

Went to my watch my home town club Walsall V Wrexham tonight was a good open game but you lot were hardly in it. The Walsall fans were cock a hoop beating your team. I bet you get that every where you go now with your Hollywood reputation.

Wrexham weren't at it last night. Walsall were first to everything. I desperately wanted to win to shut your number 15 up, but hey ho.
