Burgled a point from a moderate side
Wrexham only have themselves to blame for their conservative approach
Defensively we are terrible
when Wrexham played on the front foot they cut through us with ease
Dobson and Lee barely crossed halfway
weird
Berry might have popped up with a couple of goals but he doesn’t get involved with the graft in midfield
Docherty is slow and wasteful
Coventry takes no risks moves it sideways dodging the muck and bullets
Anderson is left high dry and outnumbered
NJ once again hooks KA when he’s carried the shirkers
Alan Campbell didn’t try a leg
Taylor offered no urgency despite us being behind
TC had their left back on toast early on but rarely got put in position to take him on until after he got subbed NJ too busy with his toddler theatrics to direct operations
ML looks rusty but offers more vim than most
Late equalisers always feel good but 6 points from 5 games this month is not a good return9 -

If the promotion chasing pack are not beating us, then we've just got to hang in there until we sort ourselves out.
Like Lee Bowyer's promotion winning team in 2019.9 -
Redmidland said:I'm glad we didn't lose! This place would've been in more of a meltdown than it is now! Yes, we weren't great, but I didn't think Wrexham were either! It was a defo penalty as well.
We are missing our two best defenders in the squad, Jones & Ramsey, and last season we would've lost that game and the one against Stockport.
Now we have fight and determination, summed up by Mitchell at the end giving it large to Mclean! Yes, we're nowhere near the finished article, we've also got our super-sub cheat code, Chuks out as well!
We're 3 points off the playoffs, we've got excellent players to come back and, hopefully, the board will back NJ in January, with a playmaker in midfield! Finally I'm looking forward to seeing Dixon when he's fully up to speed, he could be a game changer!
I'm nowwhere near as down as some and still bloody hopeful that this will click!7 -

A penalty at the death glossing over another sub par effort. 1 win in 7, 11th in the league, and the pack is starting to pull away from us.
a point was a fair in my view5 -

Godden scores pen - think it was only the third time he touched the ball. He was awful for 90 mins.12

IF he could refine his game we may be on to something. However right now, he's not delivering enough for a side looking to get promoted.1 -

Bailey said:I have to say that ive backed the majority of managers, with the exception of Pardew, Dowie and Slade, but i am now feeling that I might add another to that little list. My defence of the last few managers is because they were unfortunately employed by lunatic Chairman but this Manager cannot lay claim to any such interference, lack of backing or lack of funds. I have watched every game this season and the football has been dire, from wing backs that don't cross the halfway line to full backs that suffer the same restrictions. A midfield that has no guile, doesnt create chances, just runs around a lot. A winger called Tyreece Campbell who, we are led to believe is an excellent front two forward. No width to the side, by design, allowing opposing full backs to join their midfield and nulify ours. This team will not push on into the top six because it has no flair. I will not get into the Alfie May argument but if you sell your top scorer on the basis that you can produce a side that is better without him, then you better produce the results that you firmly believe would happen without him. So I have to say I have run out of patience with Nathan Jones, I just don't have belief in what he is doing.
Supporters appreciate a bit of passion in a manager but, for me, Jones is too emotional. Too much ranting and raving rarely pays dividends and he'll find himself in trouble if the players stop listening to him and believing in what he's saying.11 -

A promotion side takes time to build and get working as a cohesive team unit. Anybody got any idea when NJ will make a start building for us…. ?That was a turgid as any of last season 15 game unbeaten dullest run in our history.Tyreece Campbell only one who can claim to have put in a promotion performance.5

Based on success over the last three seasons and current form I would take Parky
However you could get Pep in and he would struggle because of the lack of investment and poor recruitment
Lets not forget we were told multiple times before a ball was kicked that recruitment is down to Jones this season and look what we have.5 -
Wycombe are 2nd, 7 points above us. Just embarrassing.9

1, East stand Lino 2st overweight.And was also at least 5mts off the play
2.Lack of creativity in the midfield is a big problem
3 Need Jones and Ramsey back ASAP.
4Mannion is looking like a liability.5. 4 points from 6 off Brum and the Welsh Real Madrid I will take all day long.6. Liked Maclean thought he led from the front.
7 Hope the club had a payday, as it was murder with people coming in at 3.10 trying to find the seat.Also don’t come to games if it too loud and start putting napkin’s in your ears.
Onwards and upward, next 4 we need 9 points to stay in touch5 -
Fair result. Somewhat toothless in front of goal despite all those chances. Andersons huff and puff absence stopped us competing in midfield. Docherty should not be captain. Tyreece is a must start. Has got a lot stronger. Taylor is what we have missed apart from his defensive skills which he needs to work on. Missed Jones and Ramsey. Didnot think that Wrexham looked as good as Birmingham. Gillespeys goal was very good. Still bits missing from what could be a good side. Think we wasted quite a few games with ahadme in it. Work in progress. Loved seeing the valley full.5

Wycombe started off their season with two defeats in their first two games... Imagine the reaction that here

Blockhead said:Time for Nathan Jones to abandon his worn-out Luton Top Trumps deck and build a team of younger and hungrier players. How is Danny Hylton getting onto the pitch ahead of Thierry Small? Embarassing business.
once chucks and Kanu are fit, we will not see him again4 -

Parkinsons reaction to the penalty.
His comments should really get him in trouble but they won't because he's Wrexhams manager and there is a huge bias.
Anyway....the bloke stuck his arm out. Penalty end of.8 -
"Lwe've controlled the game and we've played some unbelievable football. I feel for the lads."
It's a shame Parky has turned to hard drugs since he left us. They were slightly more shit than we were and a draw was a fair result15 -
king addick said:Think the negativity is bit misplaced. It wasn't great but we played against a team who are gelled and know how they need to play. This is Jones first full season and it shows. This was a club who dickhead after dickhead manager was looking for a payday. Genuinely think we aren't far from clicking.
Unfortunately for some, things take time. I'd love a Charlton team to smash out but it doesn't always work that way. We need to understand we will get there. 6 points against the top 10 is an okay return. We do need a league win soon though ill concede.
Just have patience, we will get there.
The balance of the team is not right at the moment - but it's a work in progress.
Parky at Wrexham has been building and refining his side for several years now.
And it shows.

Oggy Red said:ShootersHillGuru said:The league table doesn’t lie. 11th is about right. Can’t understand posters clinging onto the season as if we’ll suddenly morph into a top six team. We’re miles off yet again. No idea where this club is heading but we’re very much an established third tier football club now. Depressing and disappointing club to support. Jones was another false dawn. After 64 years of support I finally feel the passion for the club slipping away. It is what it is though I suppose.
League position isn't critical in October, but points are.
We may be placed 11th but only 3 points behind 5th place.
It's tightly packed in the top half of the table - and any of those teams could close the gap, including Charlton.
The one thing you can be sure about, is today's table is not going to be how it looks after 46 games - which despite all the mid-season fretting, is all that counts.
We're looking unbalanced at the moment, especially having lost Ramsey, L Jones and inevitably Chuks, to injury, and lacking creativity and clinical finishing.
But we're playing promotion chasing teams and we're not getting beaten.
You know, we've been through this movie before ...... October 2019, we'd just lost to Rochdale and were 13th in the table.
We still won promotion.
Oh ye of little faith, follow the roller-coaster - with 33 games remaining, it's all to play for.4 -
A reminder that the season jones took Luton up they were 17th I think in November
