Judging by the ai post on the 'Other Football' thread, we've got ourselves a spoofer/bot
Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Make your mind up - are Mansfield a terrible club with no culture, or a great club?
Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Yeah great turnout from Mansfield yesterday. Both stands packed out. Agree above @flymofrank Wrexham ageing playing hopefully will slow down and stop the pressure on us
Love Mansfield great club, especially what happened in 2014. I was in Torquay that day, so very happy to make the trip to Mansfield to watch the mighty Wanderers.
Big changes and got to keep the optimism flowing, WWFC
Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
I'd say we're doing ok on expectations but do tend to overestimate our lovliness sometimes.
Best shown in the belief that every 6 month loan sign returns to their parent club in tears because they want to stay with us forever.
Re: New Manager Vote
So we're advertising now are we ?
Thought we've had someone lined up for ages, isn't it strange that a lot of rumours aren't true.
Anyway for me, I'd happily take the Brentford guy or Schumacher, tbh all the others just don't feel right, or set the pulse racing. Can't believe Whing is current favourite, underwhelmed would be an understatement.
Re: Squad strength - January 2025 transfer window
I know what you mean but whilst we’re still in League One there’s always a place for a good old-fashioned centre half who can head the ball further than some players can kick it. I think he’s been very sensible in possession for us, moving the ball on swiftly to teammates who are perhaps more comfortable in picking out a pass.
Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Wrexham have a huge issue with the aged squad. By the end of this season the 12 players with the current most appearances will have an average age over 30. Mullin's reached his level and is struggling in a winning team, Fletcher will likely retire as he's 38 and unable to last 45 mins, let alone 90 mins, the three games he's been asked to play more than 45 they've lost all of them.
All four of their main strikers are well over 30 and probably need replacing in the close season. I suspect we might see them slip down the table over the next four months as the number of games hit the older legs.
They've not signed anyone or loaned in anyone yet in January which probably adds to the anger.
Re: New Manager Vote
Yup. We really don't want another Neil Smillie situation on our hands (as a fan, I'm sure Sam Grace will be alive to the parallels and risks to his long term career).
