Thought Dobson looked good second half, picked up every second ball and turned them into attack multiple times. Mad what options in front of you can do to a midfielder.16

Felt his passing range was always underrated on here, his vision sometimes is sublime, he was the catalyst for their second goal.ValleyGary said:Thought Dobson looked good second half, picked up every second ball and turned them into attack multiple times.

‘Who’s Dobson’ was the cry after Docherty put a reasonable performance in against Bolton. Sometimes I think we don’t deserve some players.5

Hint of offside for the Wrexham goal - have to say it felt like a very very close decision watching the stream

Did it just come of Mitchell tho? Thought it was a great tackleCallumcafc said:Hint of offside for the Wrexham goal - have to say it felt like a very very close decision watching the stream5 -
Dobson or Coventry? No contest. Does Coventry ever do anything except pass side or back? Dobson's sublime pass led to their goal.13

Thought he got a block on a Mullin shot rather than a clean tackle but you could be rightValleyGary said:

I thought Coventry had a decent second half. First half his touch was atrocious.Nadou said:Dobson or Coventry? No contest. Does Coventry ever do anything except pass side or back? Dobson's sublime pass led to their goal.
Still Dobbo all day tho.
our lack of width does our midfielders no favours at all. It’s so congested, Jones just wants to win the battle rather than actually create space and play football.5 -
Dobson is head and shoulders above anything we have in that position. It’s been a real downgrade47

Spot on. Promotion? Nope. Mid table at very best.AllHailTheHen said:Last minute equaliser papers over the cracks of an awful performance, particularly 2nd half. Turgid and weak all over the pitch.

Mate... Come on. We were struggling to even get in their final third today. Every time he got the ball he had their man on toast and brought us up the pitch where we could actually mount an attack. He's not a one-man team who can do all that and then lay it on a plate. The whole system has to better.sam3110 said:
I was one of the ones saying "no end product" because unfortunately it's true.PragueAddick said:
Too many of our lot saying "No end product", they should remind themselves how he was looking this time last year. Even in Spring, most people on here had no better expectations than "out on loan" for this season. He clearly worked hard on his physical fitness in summer, and deserves great credit for that - although NJ can take credit too for backing him and rebuilding his confidence.He's starting to get me out of my torpor on the sofa (default position for most games this season) in the way CBT. I just don't think he's a striker, by any stretch, any more than CBT or JRS are.TheHerminator said:My Wrexham supporting mates who all went today singled out TC as a proper talent.
He's featured in every game so far and has zero goals or assists. It's all very well being exciting on the ball, but when the most it leads to a corner that we fail to score from, it's not good enough really. I want him to do well and he's the only proper pace option we have up top, but he's not producing the goods so far

Not by Curbs, though, he'd say it every 3-4 weeks, interspersed (this time last year) with a remark about a new contract. But what's he ever achieved in the game, compared with Andy Scott?Braziliance said:

Glad to get a point. Wrexham are not a great L1 team but have enough about them to be there or thereabouts at the end of the season. I thought they were the better team but didn't ultimately create a lot.
A draw v them and Barnsley and a win v Birmingham are ok results. Should have beat Stockport and the run before was diabolical (Stevenage and Rovers).
I thought the change at half time affected us poorly. I think our team is too workmanlike and mainly big athletes. That was blindingly obvious in the summer though.
This season seems likely to be one of failure and tedious football, it's not a great combo. Hopefully we find a way to improve.
We need to bin Hylton, Potts and the dreadful A Campbell in January though, utter waste of wages the lot of them.

This is at the heart of our current situation for me. Jones identified (quite rightly) that a lack of physicality was a weakness when he arrived but he's gone too far the other way.ValleyGary said:

In terms of fitness and physical exercise this is the best the squad has been since Bowyer at least but its a case of win the ball... and then what? Where is the quality, where is the composure, where are those clever passes or inventive tricks to open up space and play football?
When the season started we could bully and grind teams down but we've lost the "fear factor" - other teams know they can get through by playing on in the face of the press as they won't actually be in much peril if they do lose the ball.10 -
Spoke to plenty of Wrexham fans on the train back and they were all raving about Dobson, they can’t believe we let him go. Andy Scott must go, he doesn’t know what he’s doing, he hired Appleton ffs. He is holding this club back. Ahadme must be his signing being ex Ipswich. He’s a disaster! I can’t see us being anything but mid table while he is still here.41

A point snatched from the jaws of defeat but.no thanks to our current incumbent in charge this afternoon who played more formations when it was not required
A stop start first half due to unforeseen circumstances but no reason to panic until he decides to go with the Oppositions set up at the start of the second half.
Then the substitutions started. Allan Campbell why?
No suprirse they went a goal up and until our late penalty
Felt for the players today when they were moved more around like an episode of Runaround with Mike Reid2 -
Just watched the highlight gets clip. Maybe harsh but couldn't Mannion have done better for both goals. Both near post.6
-
I’m sorry but NJ f’d up the tatics at half time. Playing two up front left is completely open in midfield and we were overwhelmed. Lucky to get away with a point. We were completely on par with them first half, so why change it?4
-
Actually thought we looked the better side at 1-1, but completely collapsed after their goal. Lucky to get the penalty but very well taken and draw probably a fair result.Thought Dobson looked very good lol1

I'm starting to lose faith now. Hylton and A.Campbell (again) .... we must have better in the under 16s2

I thought it was reasonable considering the dullfests we’ve had served up this season .
League One, Brum apart, is proper dogshit and a low ball 70+ points will have a chance of the play offs as the drossness take points of each other .
biggest let down of the day was Charlton tv talking about the crossbar challenge and not moving the camera to show it , luckily the mrs sent me some footage of it and it’s the best one yet , lovely strike on to the bar .
TC will get the assists and some goals soon but yes his current tally is pathetic but he won the free kick that led to the ball in to the box that won us a penalty and with the sea of crabs around him at least he looks to go front foot .
The teardrops on here if that penalty was given against us would flood the Thames .
i think we have some half decent players with some shit as well but the league is shit so with some luck with injuries and NJ getting his act together play offs are a possibility
fuck league one it’s just shit5 -
Mannion is soooo ordinary we need a better keeper to get promoted13

Couldn't understand our front 2/4 trying to press their defenders when they had easy options out wide in so much space. They could play a simple pass and all of a sudden we're disjointed and not in a compact shape. It was so easy for them and it didn't improve when Jones changed it. We're not pressing as a unit anymore.0

Fixed that for youBlockhead said:Time for Nathan Jones to abandon his worn-out Luton Top Trumps deck and build a team of younger and hungrier players. How is Danny Hylton getting onto the pitch ahead of Thierry Small? Embarassing business.
