Starting to feel old when I realise that Carlton Morris played for us eight years ago now.

Wow, it just shows you the riches you get from being in the Championship. But you have to spend them to stay competitive.

Bit strange in my view. I don see him as a No 10 in a Championship side.
Surely one of Sykes main strengths is his ‘engine’, getting up and down the byline?

But then again what do I know? I was questioning Jonny Bairstow’s inclusion in the England side at the begging of the summer!

I think his engine would be much better put to use getting up and down the ‘touch line’ as it’s far longer than the byline

f**k me! He’s very decent

Jesus christ! Elliot Lee should be nowhere near the Conference. If Wrexham don't go up with a record points total given the ridiculous wages they are clearly paying, I would class the season as a failure.
