Wrexham are an interesting story to follow, but they're a League 1 team playing in the National League at this point with all the football league players they've brought in, including quite a few Irish lads. I think they'll go up this year and could well go up next year again from League 2.
I actually hope Notts County make it out of that division through the playoffs if they don't go up automatically because they're having an outstanding season but are getting screwed by all the money being thrown at Wrexham.
Thomas O’Connor can play, so I’d take Wrexham moving up quickly, so they can sell him to a championship club in 18 months. Total madness he went down there but he’s only 23, so he has an outside chance of some kind of future for Ireland if everything goes right over the next 3 years
Quality puns aside, maybe it'll work out well. I always think a manager needs to be the right man, at the right club and at the right time to be a success. Leeds were very close to going down well through last season too I think (or was it the previous season?). He does seem to be a bit of a blame-deflecting **** though. Two quick wins and they're in a different position.Originally Posted by ontheotherhand
And continuing my virtual goalkeeper scorecard thing, I think we'd all be asking questions about PSG's keeper last night (was it Donnarumma?) if any of our lads let in Coman's shot. Not a howler but definitely "could have saved" category.
Donnarumma yes, kind of wondered did his height go against him a bit. He could probably have saved with his foot, but instead tried to get down and it was too close to him to get his arms right
Havin a weekend away is quite frankly,lettin ur team mates down!
Pickford on Monday night was worse than anything I’ve seen for a while,no idea what he was thinking…
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Burnley subbed their keeper off at half-time last night - he'd also had a complete brain-fart for Watford's opener about 15 minutes earlier. Not sure if the two were connected - though I'm sure they'll claim he had a knock of course.
I've just finished reading "The Gaffer" a book written by Neil Warnock about his time as a Football Manager (although he has recently comeout of retirement to manage Huddersfield) your point about right man right club right time is really shown in the book.
Its worth a read , had more respect for him as a Manager having read it. Although i suppose given he wrote it he does come out well
I only saw it once on a small screen. It looked to me like he hadn't even noticed Salah and was preparing to face the guy to Salah's right.
Very unusual. I saw his mistake alright.
Jesse Marsch wont be taking the job now,talks broke down over contract length.....

Unusual one given he doesn't tend to see out his first year...
Southampton 20 minutes away from a win in Stamford Bridge.
Football's a funny old game!
Especially as I had Chelsea down for a 2-0 win ! ! !
Fair dues to you for finding the funny in that!
Really good game from him, some decent saves and was great dealing with every cross that came near him.
Good game throughout indeed, very solid. Our clear number 1 at the current time. The likes of Kelleher, Travers etc can battle it out for the number 2 spot
Glad hes recovered from the disappointment of being dropped in recent cup game.

I'm a very petty man at heartDog with a bone
I hope it was the right kind of clean sheet!
