I had clearly not quite woken up and finished my fresh pot of coffee when i posted earlier this morning stating; Wrexham on the up... This is not me being fickle, just i've got home, thawed out and need to put thoughts to keyboard - that was the worst 2nd half performance i've ever seen at Wrexham. 1-0 up, and a penalty saved in the first half, we looked shaky, and were lucky, getting to half time without conceding, a vital half time team talk to consolidate / tighten up, and we'll bag the vital points. What unfolded was, as said, the worst Wrexham performance i've seen. Shaun Pejic was dreadful, "Take your dads bucket off your foot" a good summary (reference to his father Mel, the clubs medic/physio). Steve Evans was awesome in the air clearing everything dropping onto the defensive line, though their first goal they played right through us along the floor for a cross to be headed in unchallenged (a team who hadnt scored in 500+ minutes, and manager-less). Another mix-up in communications led to their 2nd resulting in somehow Steve Evans bungling in an own goal. The crowd by now vocally on the teams back watching this catastrophic 10 minute collapse. Their 3rd came some 5 minutes later, i'd even turned my head upfield to view players positions anticipating the "hoof it" punt, only to turn back when i heard the Brentford fans cheering / laughing as their 3rd trickled over the line from what must have been a Pejic howler. Cue a mass exodus from all 3 sides of the ground in protest, a barrage of 'viscious' booing and a rounds of "what a load of rubbish", players with heads in their hands, it was dire, it was the worst. Pejic was subbed, and boo'd all the way off. I stayed to the end just to see the reaction of fans and players, Steve Evans was the only player who walked the line applauding all sides and corners of the ground - despite people hanging over the advertising hoardings all around the ground hurling vocal abuse at him and the players slinking off behind him, hostile to say the least.
Having looked back earlier today at the past years posts on this blog, and comments about non-league football becoming a reality and "where is Forest Green" etc, after what i've seen again today, it is once again a "real" possibility, no joke. A transfer window is desperately required to off-load and re-load for the 2nd half of this season for surival. Watch this space...
