Wrexham Predictions
I see that no-one's dared start a thread for this yet so here goes.
I missed the peterborough game (looks like a good decision in hindsight) so I'll refrain, unlike Sweepy, from commenting on it. However, as part of my quest to find four teams worse than us, I did check out our next opponents at Meadow Lane. Unfortunately, Wrexham appear to be far better equipped than us to stay in the division. Well-organised and with good balance, they're not a bad team. Watch out for centre back Dennis Lawrence (my MOM), a centre back so gangly he makes Darren Powell look like Jay Tabb. He forms a solid partnership with Brian Carey - it will be a waste of time pumping up long balls to Peters and Rougier. Chris Armstrong was his usual arrogant waste of space and was subbed for his replacement Hector Sam to liven things up and score the winner.
So I can't see us getting a result there - even if Wally makes all the changes urged upon him. Our squad is just too inexperienced, threadbare and lightweight.
What about Notts - the only team below us? Well they're pretty dire but they do have some physical presence and in Mark Stallard a striker who'll get them 20 goals again this season

unless we improve dramatically between now and then...
