They were forced changes. It wasn't just that, either; as well as three of the back four not fit to start, we only had Grimes and Allen available to start in the middle; that wasn't the right combination for a physical team like Wrexham. A more robust midfield and you can protect the defence...

They both did. Thomas was missing.

I agree that he was always better than Binks. However, there were three reds in that first season, and several clangers. He was also prone to giving away silly free kicks around the area, which showed a general lack of discipline. This has gone; since he's come back into the team, and...

I don't think it was ridiculous. His first season, despite some positive moments, he could be a bit of a liability. Something clearly went on there, so who knows what would have happened without the managerial change, but I'd argue the time out of the team did him good. Sometimes it works...

Team spirit's generally down to winning, but from the start of Robins' tenure to now, having a good dressing room is something that's been spoken of by a lot of our players, past and present. The recruitment team clearly pay a lot of attention to a player's personality as well as their...

No chance. That's when we'll be bitten on the arse. We pick the strongest team we can and give them the respect they deserve.

Pretty sure some reporter got sacked for that exact same simile in the past. So as well as pathetically crass, it's also plagiarised.

I think more often they get beaten by our goals.

I think the most impressive thing about that was that against an opponent who absolutely had the bit between their teeth, were playing well, and we'd just handed a crazy equaliser to, we didn't buckle.

No, that was a top-quality finish. Absolutely what he intended.

Could they? The pressure was relentless at times, but apart from Whittaker's shot from distance and the sitter, what did they actually create? Even their equaliser was an unforced error. They played well, and we had to put a hell of a shift in to get a result, but I don't think you could say...

Wow. Absolutely bonkers.

That was a strange half football. We were under so much pressure, but probably should be out of sight. I don't like how deep we are here. There's no out ball and it just keeps coming back at us. Apart from the goal (which was an excellent finish) they've not really had a proper chance, but when...

That's a classic of the genre, but I don't think an OG will ever top this for pure hilarity:

Take your pick here. Possibly my favourite ever rival player. Gutted what he's become.

I love this goal as much as anything because the 1986 World Cup got me into football.

He of the face-plant fame. Birchall played a lot of games for Trinidad and Tobago, including in a World Cup. ETA: I see at least two people have already confirmed Birchall's international career.

I think that's unfair; he was making all the right decisions, but it sometimes wasn't coming off.

I don't think there's a context for the above statement where it would surprise me.

The shot that hit the bar was superb. He doesn't need much space or time at all to away shots of real venom and accuracy.
