Crazy times are alive on here, but as Sam Smith is mentioned all the time by the Captain Hindsights, he’s probably costing Wrexham £3.5m over that deal if being conservative, and they were in a much better position in the league to spend that mo he in January.
We had Alfie May.
Who was happy to go and triple his money at Birmingham
So we’re told.
Sure, if you want a conspiracy theory other then it suited all parties, then knock ourself out.
It boils down to us being shit in November and most of December, and May wouldn’t have made a difference

That is a point I was trying to make and thank you for putting it better than I did Rothko. Whatever we think probably should be balanced as much as possible by what is going on in the boardroom. The exit of Charlie and Andy Scott were a 'contract ends' situation but the exit of seven players was balancing the books. From the statement I read that was almost 18 grand a week off the books and a good thing too.
Thanks to the Hollywood owners and TV series, Wrexham have had some ridiculous shirt sponsors in recent seasons, the sort of massive household names that you'd expect to see on a Premier League shirt .
The likes of United Airlines, Expedia, and TikTok, who must be paying way more than every other lower league team is receiving, which really helps their budget.
Agreed and I assume there must be some sort of hefty payment from Disney to make the documentary which has been what, 3 series now? They are extremely well funded and have put in good people to use those funds wisely. Next year is a big step up if they plan on continuing the rapid growth but who knows, it’s obviously an attractive place for players to go in both a financial and football experience sense.

We had Alfie May.
Who would have had 0 effect yesterday, he isn't as physical as Smith
As I pointed out, Mullin and Palmer joined Wrexham in the National League. The more surprising thing is not that they didnt' make the starting XI yesterday, but that they still both played significant roles in getting the team to the brink of the Championship. Two more that have played significant roles are Elliott Lee and Eoghan O'Connell, both deemed by most fans to be not good enough for us when we were crap (I was one re Lee, but I thought O'Connell was unlucky with that injury and the chaos around him). And of course the current manager started with them in the NL too. Wrexham therefore are not Birmingham. There is a fabric to that club which has been built up over the last four seasons in a quiet, professional way. The Hollywood stuff has been kept quite separate. It brings in the money which is handed over to the football pros. I agree with you that with so many very senior players on their books their summer window will be challenging.
I don't know how best to answer your last sentence. What you will find is that, happy as I was, I was not one of those saying "no reason why we can't go and do something similar at Wrexham". Aneke's (unjust) red card was a major reason why I was cautious, because I knew we had no replacement who can bring what he brings. I like how Mbick is shaping up, but that was way too big an ask for an 18 year old yesterday. In the Jan window we all hoped Miles would come good and kick on. But hope alone doesn't get you promotion, you always need a plan B, and up front we don't have one now.
My criticism Prague, especially of Golfies posts are that as soon as we lose, it's blamed on not buying strikers in the January window. You posted a few weeks back that you agreed with Golfie about our lack of goalscoring, until I pointed out that in the second half of the season we'd scored more than Wycombe and Wrexham. If there is a criticism of how we progressed through the season, it's probably that we took time to gel the side together and struggled to find goals in that time. To state that we should have paid millions in January to improve our goal scoring when we have scored more than both Wrexham and Wycombe doesn't make any sense, and to state that we lost yesterday because we didn't sign another forward in January is worse. That being the position that you and Golfie take, please tell me, who should we have scored more than ?
a lot of analysis on here but its as clear as day to me - small and tc playing on either side, offering a genuine threatr and able to go p[ast players is absolutely critical to our team - either one is out and we do not function - we all knew that and we all said not bringing in another in the window could be our undoing and so it has proved - lets hope they are both fit and firing for the play offs because if they aren't, its game over - it really is that simple

We had Alfie May.
Who would have had 0 effect yesterday, he isn't as physical as Smith
And for the season?
The point was about yesterday’s game. The Alfie May debate has been had many times on his own thread this season, there’s 0 need to have it again here
The moment for us yesterday was Watson was in on goal. Had that gone in then perhaps. When it hit the keeper I thought to myself, as our chances were slim, not likely to reduce the gap. Autos was decided in November, but it was great to dream for a few matches. Now onto playoffs, a different challenge. Hope NJ does it this time, one better than he did with Luton.
It would of taken something special to be shit for a third of a season and still go up automatically.
More drama to come I fear, no more off days like yesterday, we are a hollowed out squad. Our first 11 is a match for anyone but there is absolutely no back up to it. Those coming in are too young, or too slow and compromised, they are L2 or lower L1 at best.
That's what our SMT went with at the behest of whoever the fuck actually owns us and spends the money.
Into the play offs it is and well done to NJ and the players.

Absolutely correct but notice the disaffected never mention him by name now, rather pin point another striker we should have bought.
Can we start a “Positive Play-off’s thread”, too many threads on here talking about how crap we were yesterday, how Stockport are far superior to us, Wycombe owe us etc etc
Winning the playoffs will be tough for any team, you need luck, and you need players to turn up when it really matters (think Pratley against Donny).
At this stage it doesn’t matter who we did or didnt sign in January, and it doesn’t matter what Scott or Methen did - they’re gone.
So from this point on, let’s be positive, whoever we play, whether the first or second leg is at the Valley, and whoever is picked in the shirt, let’s just get behind them and be positive!
Hylton to score a winning pen - you read it here first!
But Leyton Orient? Darren Pratley's Leyton Orient, with their new US owners announced on Friday and back on song, who also 'owe us'? No room for any positivity at this stage i'm afraid.

Who's fault is it that we were shite for the first part of the season and only started playing from xmas onwards when (being just one more defeat from the tin tack) NJ threw Small on the right wing and changed formation. And before then we were playing Ahadme who now cant get a game.
Fecked up my plan to watch the match yesterday, by arranging a family meal at 6:30pm. Missed the whole thing (thankfully) so I'll let off those that played, and NJ for his execution of the match plan.
As for the result, it's sobering, but just what this team needs ahead of the most important set of games this club has faced for 5 years or so. We were poorer than usual against a well oiled machine, that has three promotions on the bounce. The league table shows us, there isn't much in between the sides, but there are also two other useful outfits, also sitting above us in the league.
They will rightly think that they too have a great opportunity to grab that final promotion spot.
We have to hope that NJ saw the writing on the wall and rightly rested those that needed to be rested ahead of the crunch games to come over the next few weeks.
This squad has done wonders to make it 45 games before auto's became out of reach.
I hope the best players can be back in 10 days time, and also play at their very best, to give us a chance of Wembley.
We might be feeling down today, but we aren't out. If this opportunity going into game 46, had been put on the table in November, I'm pretty sure (almost) every fan on here would have grabbed it with both hands.
Keep the faith everyone, and all have hope we come out on top 4 weeks today!!
Having watched the highlights back, it's quite funny how clearly onside Smith was for their second, and how adamant so many in the away end were that he was miles off 😂

The second looked on from my viewpoint. The first was the one I was unsure about but apparently was also onside

Over 45 games we have scored less goals than any of the top 6 teams. In fact, there are only 2 teams in the top half of the table who have scored less goals than us.
And although it has been pointed out to me that GD does not usually matter when it comes to promotion or the play offs, we snatched 3rd on the final day in 2019 due to GD and this season we might have missed out on promotoon due to it as at 5.30 pm yesterday our GD was worse than Wrexham, Wycombe & Stockport.
I am happy to eat humble pie when it is approproare, but if you really think that going into the play offs with Mbick (5 league appearance - 0 goals) and Kanu (58 league appearances - 7 goals) is the recipe for success then thats your choice.
It was obvious to anyone in January that we needed to strengthen in attacking areas - both up front & out wide. The club (according to NJ) were happy to run with less players & to rely on the youth if needs be. Well needs be and the youth (imo) are not up to it.
I'm not saying we should have bought Sam Smith but I'm sure there were less expensive & more experienced strikers out there in the summer / january than what we brought on yesterday.
And if you say we had 6 strikers already are you counting Hylton (who we only signed initially as an emergency) and the unfit Aneke who cant play more than 30 mins and certainly cant start a game.
There is a poem titled...." for want of a nail" and I fear our season will end accordingly with the words..." for the want of a striker".
Anyone saying Coventry or Doherty are better than Dobson well there was your answer yesterday….they were anonymous
Coventry is better than Dobson at the holding role. Wrexham don’t even use him there and neither did Jones, preferring Coventry, because Dobson doesn’t have the positional discipline for it
Dobson is probably better than Docherty
Though it is a lot easier for Dobson to be good when he has 2 experienced championship midfielders next to him. He’s the 3rd best midfielder in Wrexhams team
Why do people keep bringing up Dobson and May whenever we lose. Yes, we probably should have kept Dobson. In hindsight, selling May was probably the correct move. Regardless, we are a better team now without both of them
Waiting or the train @ Wrex General I was chatting to a few Addicks and a Wrexham fan when a very attractive lady sat down next to me. During the conversation she said that she had gone to the game (actually no ticket so she was in the 'Turf') as the start of her Europe holiday Later on the train we sat together, I asked how Wrexham had got onto her agenda. Briefly she had seen the Wrexham documentaries and got the bug. She is from LA and amongst the chattering classes, Wrexham is evidently quite a hot topic. We might mock, BUT Reynolds and McElhenny are popular stars and their somewhat bizarre takeover is causing a stir. So expect an influx of U S tourists and probably money into North Wales very soon. After Wrexham for my new friend ?, two days in Liverpool then onto Croatia
Anyone saying Coventry or Doherty are better than Dobson well there was your answer yesterday….they were anonymous
That’s fine if you’re going to judge players on one game, and I agree Dobson is a better player than Docherty. I don’t remember anyone claiming Docherty is better.
Conparing him to Coventry there’s more to it - correct me if I’m wrong but Coventry is generally our deepest midfielder, and Wrexham use Dobson more box to box, as NJ did last season, rather than in that deepest holding role. Coventry could have slotted into that Wrexham team and stepped up no problem.
I think both would compete in the Championship, but both would struggle if they were alongside players like Anderson and Docherty who aren’t at the same level.
How could someone give Edwards a 4 for yesterday’s effort? Thought he was outstanding, in a difficult game.
Never thought I’d ever, in a million years, want City to win the FA Cup. As for TC, remember he’s a pretty shy lad, and perhaps the atmosphere got to him. A don’t think he wasn’t trying, as some have suggested.
The medical team is gonna play an important part if we’re going to win the playoffs. As many have said, our first choice starting lineup is pretty strong, when fit, especially when we can bring on Chuks and Anderson for the last 25 minutes. Congrats to Wrexham, a fine old club with many long suffering fans, that’s been in the doldrums for years. I was cursing them, and their Hollywood owners yesterday, but that was at least partly envy.
We didn't need another striker in January. We had Leaburn, Aneke and apparently Ahadme all missing yesterday, any side would be down to their bare bones as a result of that .
The failing in January was not bringing in another winger, when the turnaround in our fortunes was down to having TC on one side, and Small on the other. We definitely wanted to bring someone in, wasn't there a last minute punt that missed the deadline?
Instead we have no direct replacement for either of our wide attackers, and have struggled every time one was missing.
Im over it now. Hopefully we will look back on this as a minor blip that happened at the end of the season as we watch our team lift the playoff trophy at Wembley.

People are forgetting that we tried playing Dobson with Coventry and it didn't work, we tried Taylor with Coventry and it didn't work. We have played Coventry with Docherty and it does work. A manager has an idea who fits his plans or at least he should do. golfaddick said:
