    Word is that the academy is not going to be funded by Hilton next season! They are looking for alternative funding but if that fails there is no chance of the academy carrying on next season

    Don’t know if Lincoln City have changed but they had to fund themselves certainly until entering div 2.

    Reminds me of Doyle/Roberts at Chesterfield.

    He has a contract that specifically states he cannot do this. He has history for doing it, back in 2020 when his wages were reduced by £400K to £1.35mill – he was presented with a new contract that fully explained it all because of previous transgressions.

    Tim Davie was brought in to introduce IMPARTIALITY, he is under pressure because a lot of people would like to see the BBC defunded so it stands on its own 2 feet. Mr Lineker may have single handedly ended its days as an public funded broadcaster.

    We have to go for it. Our mindset has to be to win. 10 games left and we can win 10 if we make opponents have to deal with what we do.

    Time to reset who is in charge. Also a great opportunity to get rid of so many.

    Probably Duncan Ferguson wanted him back to see what he capable of. Was loaned out before Ferguson arrived.

    Tend to take Mr Cox comments with a huge pinch of salt !

    One of the worst managers we have had in recent times. Allegedly picked his squad and the only player who knew they would start the game was the Keeper, told the others when they arrived – any wonder they looked confused !!

    Jai should be playing if not here then somewhere, to good to be sidelined. Taft needs to move with a view to a permanent.

    Well done to Cam Wilson. Took his Scarborough loan well and worked hard to earn his starts. More to come from him. Leave him in the team and work on attempts to scored goals increasing.

    Has a powerful shot but not sure he quite trusts it, when he does the goals will draw the scouts.

    Was a tough job for someone from a division below and the first thing needed was stability, a set formation 2 Fwds 2 wingers and reward effort by letting those that have earned it keep the shirt.

    Now rarely same team starts next game and the bench changes dramatically game to game. Appears he will not admit he has picked wrong and games are running out fast .

    Jimmy sounded a bit uncommitted with the new man. Perhaps was on Nelson’s list.

    Did think Mr Nelson deserved a chance with some additions. But Mr Hilton opted for Mr Deans so we have to go with that. Highest level he has ever managed at and I get the sense he DOES REALLY CARE.

    But has to make it 13 cup finals from now – nothing else is good enough. You don’t score if you are nowhere near the opponents goal or not take shots. Shoot in but others have go for rebounds. Then in defence no one leaves anything to someone else – they have to be 100% committed.

    Nice to hear a manager in his post match actually say he let the players know his feelings.

    Normally people hear nothing and I do believe Jimmy D has his heart on his sleeve.

    Tom Pugh has always had an eye for a shot but he does what the managers asks of him.

    Cam Wilson is the man with the shot left or right footed, he really can make people sit up.

    Would imagine training with 1st team as part of his development. Don’t rush him, his coaches will have the path mapped.

    Poor ref decision for 1st pen – blatant dive and cheats prospered. The 2nd one – wrexham player managed to get both feet into where Foster was trying to redirect the loose ball, went down very quickly but clearer than the first for certain. Get back to back wins and we will rise up the league for certain.

    This is a big opportunity for him and he knows it. Wish him all the best.

    Hope he is someone who makes opponents deal with us instead of the previous wastes of space who lined up in defensive forms whether home or away and actually prefers at least 2 up front as opposed to 1 unsupported striker with no chance.

    Jimmy not quite relaxed when questioned yet. Sounded a little rattled when specific player questions asked. Needs to relax.

    Agree about Taft and Shields – do seem to be outside the playing squad. Good to hear about Fin S. in future plans suspect manager protecting him a bit – had just been out injured and will not want to put long term at risk.

    Got a bit of experience now to rotate. Tonight will be a good test for progress made.

    Not just Wrexham who will rotate some. We have Borehamwood on saturday so 3 games in 8 days against clubs at and near the top plus looking to get a play-off spot.

    Mr Deans does have the element of surprise though and he knows you can’t score goals sat on your own goal line.

    Had a former work friend. Was a couple of decades ago but saw him in Scunthorpe at 1.10pm we had a chat, he appeared the norm and the Police estimated he ended his life near to 7pm – still wonder if I missed something. Always remember him. It is tough as you say ‘ironfromafar’.

    No time for her. Her ‘great team’ would probably struggle against Under 11 boys football.

    Will make those that thought selection was guaranteed look at improving their enthusiasm. Do think 1 has already been relegated to back up.

    We need to go into the last 16 games with the intent to win ALL 16 games. We cannot pick and choose what we want to win. We need to be 100% positive hence the 16 game winning run.

    Out of interest, and I know this is not your point, but which games do you think a team goes in to not trying to win?

    I do believe at the start of the season some set-ups were to concede very few goals and if they gained a point a miracle happened – I call it targeting

    Not interested about other teams. 16 games to go, our target must be 16 wins and the end result – SAFETY.

    We need NINE wins!

    Draw 1-1

    As with all the new arrivals – The jury is out and that includes the Manager and his assistant.

    They have a 16 game trial. And never forget Jermaine Beckford – Carlisle fans called him every name possible and I think only us went for him and look what happened there. The new CB may be the missing piece.

    Certainly has been very quiet and the comment re 8pm was a surprise. Not much time if it is a player for immediate selection – but you never know.
