Looks like Wrexham will be losing a few players soon. Three strikers or more!

As I said, you can never write off a striker. Which is why the powers that be need to get their cheque book out, Andrews is only of no use when the funds are produced. Gaming International is a gambling operation worth billions from the suckers that gamble, hmm.

And yet since Sept or Oct I think, he's been banging them in with aplomb.

I know you were. You can't write off a striker as Josh Umerah and Klaidi Lolos are trying to prove.

With enough strikers it wouldn't matter as when on a yellow we would have some more goal scoring attributes for them to contend with.
I get where you are coming from as he is a physical striker, but that's just what we need when we're in a fight.

I wouldn't say forgotten just competition for places as GJ always says.
We have a plethora of midfielders and yet wofull in attacking strikers, Jarvis is a hold up man with goals occasionally and Goodwin was just getting started which is why Stoke recalled him.
We now have Crole who is, at this moment, far better than our missing striker because he is fit and has been playing regularly he also has youth on his side.
We only need one more goal per game!

With the advent of Will Goodwin's departure we still are only dealing with two strikers in Jarvis and our new addition Crole.
We know that an experienced center back is required also, which means the powers that be need to get their cheque book out because we can only play five loan players in a match day team.
Time to bring in Tony Lee from Poole Town me thinks.
We can loan an experienced defender but we can't loan an experienced goal scorer.

I agree that we need some experienced central defender but we have been running on 1/2 strikers for most of the season, Goodwin and Jarvis are a must stay in my opinion as they are starting to gather goals and have the experience of this team.
We only need to get one more goal per game as is the fine margins, and, had we have produced one more goal per game we would be sitting in 6th place with a goal difference of F52 A49 W10 D9 L6 and 39 Pts, and we would of beaten Derby at home in the FA Cup.
You gotta love fine margins!

A quote from a Cardiff moderator on another forum from Oct 2021... Tall number 9 at Cardiff U18s stepped up to U23s today and scored a hat trick. Now I don’t want to get over excited but the lad was big, good in the air, good with his feet and pretty quick for his size. And an actual striker.

James Crole looks set to sign for us from Cardiff. I hope so as we need a goal scorer!

This is the litmus test, County v United. First v Last. There is no getting away with it here as it will show metal or mushrooms withering. After which we will all be wiser.

Chris Todd?

Asa thinks they should have had all 3 pts BECAUSE why would you take off your most influential player who has two goals in a match YOU MUST WIN???

What a joke this team is.

So much for the 5 year plan.
It's plainly/more (Plainmoor) obvious that the backing for said plan was never there as if it was there would be some quality left on the pitch.
GJ can only do what he is able to do with what he has to play with.
This is like an advert to stay away from Plainmoor.
Which is why I haven't been for years.
People may berate me for this but it is true and factual.
