They play into May, right? Seems a bit early to be worrying about games in hand and all that. 

End of April.

I would say no, given how close Notts is playing them in this race, every point is going to mater and yeah a few games in hand is important, even now.

[Ted Lange 16083]

Reminder, Wrexham play on ESPPN2 today at 1:45 vs Sheffiled.   Winner gets Spurs.

[Ted Lange 16083]

Wrexham look way out of their depth so far, this has a 4-1 or 3-1 type match.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4767]

They’re going to wear out the grass on Wrexham’s end …

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Yeah, the skill level differences are noticeable.

Wrexham look clunky and plodding. Sheffield look (not surprisingly), Championship level.

And yet they should have had them beaten last match.

Wrexham is like…

[Ted Lange 16083]

LOL, how the hell did Sheffield F that up

[Captain Ron 12864]

2 on the keeper and Sheffield fails to score!!!

Shot way too early. Should have either passed or dribbled around the keeper. Shooting that early was really dumb.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

They may regret that one.

Sheffield played their #2 team last go around. This time they are running out something closer to their Championship lineup. The jump in quality is noticeable. 

Geez, Another blown chance for Sheffield. Hell of a save there.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Big save by Lainton to keep it scoreless.

[Ted Lange 16083]

And for those not aware Sheffield is 10 points clear of the 3rd place team in the Championship with a game in hand.

Lack of discipline on that run. The guy without the ball kept drifting offside (or close to it), taking away the pass on his own. He was even offside on the shot! had the ball come free on a rebound, he could have gotten called for it.

I was just about to say that... didn't notice that until the last replay, but yeah - it wasn't 2-on-1... the guy with the ball had no choice *BUT* to shoot.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Sheffield crowd breaking out the Arse chant... "Same old Wrexham... always cheating!" when Mullin gets mugged at midfield.

[Captain Ron 12864]

I love how long, into the box, throw-ins are a tactic Wrexham uses, wish it was more of a thing at higher levels.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

...first blood to United.  

[Captain Ron 12864]

Heck of a shot, not much to be done.

 

Well let me rephrase that - they should have covered him better. But that was still nice.

Edited February 7, 2023 by Captain Ron

[Captain Ron 12864]

Holy shit - hell of a save to keep this 1-0.

ALL DAY LONG!

[RamjetFDO 10575]

PENALTY TO WREXHAM!

[Captain Ron 12864]

Close to the line, but oh look NO VAR.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Super Paul Mullin buries it!  

Honors even in the 58th minute!

[Captain Ron 12864]

BOOM!!! LEVEL!!!

Holy shit. I'm not sure a brick wall would have stopped that shot.

It's happening?

It's not *not* happening... at least at this point.

So - if level after 90, two 15-minute extra time periods, then PKs.

Watching how packed in Wrexham gets themselves on those plays and open to a counter, it now makes sense why not.

[Captain Ron 12864]

PENALTY FOR WREXHAM!!

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

OH SHIT

[Captain Ron 12864]

And that's about as clear of one as you will see.

Horrible challenge

[Captain Ron 12864]

HOLY CRAP! He saved that!

[RamjetFDO 10575]

DENIED!  Wow!

[Captain Ron 12864]

Not the best PK, but heck of a save

 

[The Dog 44018]

Season 2 is good but not very realistic 2/5 stars.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Mullin grabbing at his hammie... hope it's just a cramp.

[Captain Ron 12864]

Another huge save by Lainton

Uh oh.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Well - he's walking off... but to be subbed.  Cannon's not a bad replacement, but not Mullin-level.

And he wasn't limping. So that's good.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Whew. That was close.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

OFFSIDE - sorry SHU.  We're heading for free football in a few.

With VAR, that would've been a penalty.  Wrexham are lucky.

Oh darn, no VAR

Agreed.

Except except with your conjugation. Wrexham is lucky
