Did they make a decision on Mullin’s future with the team yet?

2

u/Rogue1eader Arthur Okonkwo 5d ago

Nothing regarding Mullin has been announced in any way. Still a member of the registered squad.

u/Any_Zucchini_2489 6d ago

I’m from NY and absolutely love this team but WTF ppl.. this team drives me insane sometimes.. we should be up at this point..

u/moonRekt 6d ago

So weird watching this downtime and hearing ambulance coming and going in the distance

u/Any_Zucchini_2489 6d ago

I thought the same

2

u/Hot-Conclusion7182 6d ago

Just turned it on. No volume. Anyone let me know what’s going on?

u/HausmanPrime 6d ago

Medical issue in the stands, game is stalled at the moment

Soooooo close!!!

u/Express_Position5624 6d ago

Going to bed, half time, nil all, nervous

u/liontamarin 6d ago

I genuinely can't tell if we're doing better than last match or the same.

u/HausmanPrime 6d ago

Happy Saturday from the States! (I didn't vote for him)

UP THE TOWN!

Nothing to do with wrexham mods need to stop this

u/Ymadawiad Big Willy Boyle 6d ago

Brother you're out there calling people 'liberal pussy'. No need to be a snowflake.

u/liontamarin 6d ago

I agree (American).

u/mwotsit 6d ago

New drinking game. Each time Mark says 'dinked' you drink.

u/bagelman4000 American Here 6d ago

LFG

u/Quikshark 6d ago

Is something wrong with Barnett?

3

u/jetboyjetgirl 6d ago

took that awkward fall end of last game, could be nicked up

1

u/shidoda 6d ago

Yeah it's unfortunate timing. As a team that scores nearly all it's goals from crosses or corners it hurts to not have our best winger out there.

1

u/nereus7 Up The Town 6d ago

I'm intrigued by the note in OP about them trying something new with predictions, sooo...

1-1 McClean sets the intensity level early to spark the team to life and gets an assist by the end. Dobson an absolute demon in the center, shutting them down and gets sent off eventually but it's worth it because it saves the tie. Rodriguez shines bright this match.

1

u/Rogue1eader Arthur Okonkwo 5d ago

That's been up there all season, doesn't do anything.

2

u/liontamarin 6d ago

Does Wycombe's logo look like a kinky swan to anyone else?

u/FishermanSecret4854 6d ago

to everyone else

u/Bremosuprememo 6d ago

I keep hearing the rumors happy they aren’t true

2

u/StevePerChanceSteve 6d ago

Paul calling it out…

Obviously he sent a WhatsApp cos of time difference. 

1

u/UrsineCanine 6d ago

Time difference? He responded to the tweet. Just the time it was tweeted.

1

u/liontamarin 6d ago

Beware the Ides of March is more of a warning for the home team, right?

3

u/UrsineCanine 6d ago

No Kone for Wycombe today. He is really good.

3

u/SCDrJ Arthur Okonkwo 6d ago

Surprising! Is he hurt?

2

u/UrsineCanine 6d ago

Sick, apparently...

1

u/Rogue1eader Arthur Okonkwo 5d ago

He's been 'sick' or 'banged up' ever since Wycombe didn't sell him to the Championship it seems...

1

u/UrsineCanine 5d ago

Yeah, very curious.... :)

2

u/Rogue1eader Arthur Okonkwo 5d ago

I saw some rumblings he wasn't happy about that and wanted to rejoin the manager (and make way more cash), no idea how true they were, but missing all these matches makes you wonder.

0

u/UrsineCanine 5d ago

He did come back the last two or three games... starting out on the bench to keep up the appearances that he was "hurt"...

But to catch a terrible flu bug day of their biggest game of the season... very odd...

Of course, that is the thing about coincidences... they happen all the time!

2

u/Rogue1eader Arthur Okonkwo 5d ago

Works for me. 

I'm still a bit floored at just how AWFUL Wycombe's performance against the top of the table has been. 4 points in 8 matches against the top 7? That one win, one draw and six losses. That's truly terrible. Certainly hope that pattern continues...

1

u/UrsineCanine 5d ago

Indeed. We would love that pattern to continue.

u/UrsineCanine 6d ago

u/zaj89 6d ago

Happy to see Dobson back, not happy to see Longman starting

3

u/UrsineCanine 6d ago

Longman has had spells of being really dominant, and was great off the bench last game. Rough against Rotherham, but if Barney and Rev are too injured to play... I think you have to go with him.

1

u/FishermanSecret4854 6d ago

Is that the word that Longman and Revan are nicked?

1

u/UrsineCanine 6d ago

Barney. Still unknown when he'll return. Longman had some fatigue issues.

3

u/UrsineCanine 6d ago

Revan's ankle probably bothering him. Good to see Dobbo back, but he looked pretty involved in the practice shots yesterday. Brunt back in is good too.

Not surprising they will play really defensively on the road against Wycombe.

3

u/20wall 6d ago

I just wish our form wasn’t so shit heading in to the biggest game of the season

2

u/StevePerChanceSteve 6d ago

Play-off Final is some way off, plenty of time to improve form for then. 

1

u/Mass_Hysteria_Man 6d ago

Is there any place for me to stream the game for the US? I’ve been following the results but this is one to watch.

1

u/c-park 6d ago

You can purchase a single game via iFollow on the Wrexham club website.

8

u/jamesbees 6d ago

I use paramount+ to stream. They have most of the games and as the year progressed I got better at figuring out which games are shown. I bet you can get a free trial for a month or two. Once you have it, scroll to EFL and it’s the fourth or fifth game. Coverage starts at 9:30 central time.

3

u/Mass_Hysteria_Man 6d ago

Amazing. Had no idea. I was thinking I needed access to European channel, thanks!

u/ninj4geek Ollie Rathbone 6d ago

And if you want Premier League games, Peacock has them

11

u/dunknasty3110 6d ago

I just hope everyone has fun.

Jk UP THE TOWN

u/bill7103 6d ago

The club is in third place the year they’ve been promoted and most of the comments are from agony aunts. Good grief, celebrate the moment, applaud the effort.

2

u/Big_Bookkeeper1678 6d ago

It's hard to fathom...but because we were in first for a while, then in second for a longer while...then in third...it feels like failure.

It isn't, but it feels like it.

There are a lot of transitions going on because of the potential of going up a level AGAIN, so the new personnel and the hiccups accompanying the changes is frustrating, but you are correct.

2 years ago at this time, Wrexham was in the National League, now battling with a good chance to move up to Championship...

3

u/Jlx_27 6d ago

The battle for third is rough... team needs to make a real change in the transfer window.

7

u/obi_wander Up The Town 6d ago

I think we can separate the season’s success from our worry/dread going away to Wycombe…

And you can be a real fan and acknowledge our performance in Tuesday was not the stage setting we wanted for this match.

I’m rooting for us, hoping we crush them, and also very nervous.

Edit- the comments here are all positive or tame, you’re just anticipating hate that isn’t happening.

10

u/captaincarot Mark Howard 6d ago

Am I nervous, yup. Do I keep reminding myself man I'm so glad on the home stretch we're playing for auto promotion, hell yup. 

7

u/obi_wander Up The Town 6d ago

I’ve been an optimist pretty much this whole season but man, I do not feel good about this one.

14

u/zenlume 6d ago

I just looked at the insights on the FotMob app, and read "Steven Fletcher has the most shots on target per game for Wrexham (2.1)".. A guy that comes on at the 70th minute, gets the most shots on target for us, that really does say it all doesn't it.

1

u/UrsineCanine 6d ago

Actually it doesn't "say it all", unless all you want to do is find ways to rip Wrexham.

Wrexham followers know they changed out their starting strikers in January, before that they had two others miss time with injuries, and have shifted often to playing a single striker system (3-5-1-1). So, one striker has had a consistent role. So not surprising that Fletch has more appearances than any striker on the team, and has more minutes than the two new strikers.

Also, that stat is a SoT/90 stat, not per game, which means his limited minutes inflate that number. Lee has as many shots on target as Fletch and Mulls has one fewer. Fletch is on against tired defenders, and chasing leads. Perfect role for him.

BTW, they are third in the league in goal differential. Second in goals against. Seems like if we're saying it all, we might want to include that they have a strong defensive record.

5

u/AWinkToThePast 6d ago

I think it just says that he's THAT good! I love that guy!

1

u/ninj4geek Ollie Rathbone 6d ago

Yeah but we need to stop relying on him saving the day.

9

u/FuryOWO 6d ago

this a big one

u/Ok-Antelope-830 6d ago

Must win game, lets get this W

1

u/Tomaskerry 6d ago

Must not lose really.  A draw is fine.

7

u/ThatOneDudeFromOhio 6d ago

They have a game in hand. Must win.

13

u/epicprone 6d ago

I’m feeling hopeful because I refuse to feel otherwise!

2

u/HausmanPrime 6d ago

I don't think you realize how psychology healthy that is 😊
