Wrexham match OFF - Rescheduled for Weds 18 Jan - 7.15pm (merged threads)

[Albumen]

Yep.

Trace it back to the moment Wrexham had just equalised, and Gus STILL went ahead with immediately hauling off Navarro and Buckley, putting on Kasim and Rodgers in their place. The result - zero width and 6 kids, against a confident team with their tails up.

I'm not saying we would have gone on and won had those changes not been made - but he certainly made it as difficult as possible.

The time between when Kaz went off and the subs madem, we were pretty shit. I thought the kids did well when they came on, almost scored. I was very happy with the subs. Dunno where all this anti-cup Gus stuff is coming from.

I'm confused now .....................so are we playing in your car park, with security cameras downloading on line .........................?

I'll sort it now after a word with Gus ... but the commentary will be crap as my 10 year-old is still learning Welsh and just about does the colours, the numbers, 'good morning', 'congratulations' and 'Craig Bellamy'

 

[Clive Walker's slaphead]

Think Navs went off cos he was on a booking and Buckley was the only fit winger left after LuaLua went off injured

 

[On the Left Wing]

weather is getting better... just caught this of the Albion players sunning it at the Carden Park Hotel about 5 minutes ago ... and as for Dicker's broken leg and five hamstring injuries, it is obviously all a Gus ploy....

 

[clippedgull]

These are professional footballers, so 1 days difference should not affect them!

You would think so!

Players are pussies these days, they need their down time!

Still if we get walloped on Saturday, Gus has a ready made excuse for the press.

 

[The Large One]

C'maann, Bristol was a whole WEEK after the Wrexham game - I'm sure leaving Buckles and Nav on for the last half hour wouldn't have made any difference to their performances 7 days on (unless they'd got KNOBBLED obviously, but that can happen in any game). Nav was on the bench anyway for Bristol.

If we were 2-0 up I could fully understand that sub. But having just got pegged back to 1-1, it was an ECCENTRIC move that all but sealed a replay (at best).

So you'd rather risk another injury to Buckley for the sake of a bunch of kids, most of whom did better than their regular first-team counterparts?

We'll have some good analysis on Peterboro to squeeze into only 2 training sessions now I'd imagine. .

Any reason why they can't look at any of that in a training session today, assuming they have a pitch to train on?

(ignoring the fact that two of Saturday's team - Greer and CMS, are probably not there...)

Sandaza and Baz are back - YEAH!

Just get on with it ffs

Snow in the FA Cup: Peterborough v Brighton (1985-86) (vintage video))

Brilliant stuff, that was the last game I went to with my old man until the Wrexham home game two weeks ago

What's OGH doing there?

maybe but they'll surely be focusing on the next game ie Wrexham?

 

[On the Left Wing]

all part of Gus's cunning ruse ... notice Baz and Battipiedi are still with us too.
Glorious weather here!
Saw some guys coming out of the public toilets near the Wrexham swimming pool in just vests and shorts earlier and a just passed a farmer giving his sheep an early sheering ...

It's on the HD channel, but not showing as a HD broadcast! They will be taking their feed from S4C and adding english commentary.

The kids did *ok* all things considered (although I can't say I was overly impressed with Kasim again). I'd still have fancied our chances of regaining control of that game had more 1st teamers been left on the pitch though.

As for "risking" Buckley - I'm sorry, but we've paid a million quid for this fella. If we're going to keep wrapping him in cotton wool then what was the point ? Wrexham were by no means a bunch of cloggers, Buckley didn't appear to be struggling, so lets have him help us win another game and save all this unwanted replay gubbins we've got ourselves embroiled in once again. Buckley has travelled, he could just as easily get crocked tomorrow if he plays, in a game which could and should have been avoided.

Completely managed to miss this news. Just sitting down to watch the game.



Luckily the Newyddion a'r Tywydd is on instead, followed by Pobol y Cwm.

[vulture]

[Nottseagull]

There will now be a massive operation to bring in the industrial heaters and pitch covers for the game to go ahead

You should have clicked my link (or at least glanced at a national weather forecast) before posting that....
