Re: Has RW lost the plot
I think the problem is he has his players and won't deviate, so no matter what some players do they won't start ie Thompson, Clay last two games and so forth, if the results don't start coming can see quite a few getting demoralised

Re: Has RW lost the plot
To me it feels like we have gone back in the recruitment process after all that hard work last season where have we gone wrong it’s the people in the background that’s letting us down but hopefully we will sort this out and sign someone soon

Re: Has RW lost the plot
So please explain who these people in the background are, so the people in the fore ground can get rid of them, and sign all those players we want before Stevenage get them all , like Bradford did last year

PS Bradford are looking forward to playing Wrexham this year (MH connection)

Re: Has RW lost the plot
You can't say that yet until we see who we sign . What I will say is though it's disappointing that our out of contract players haven't re-signed yet because they have had long enough to decide one way or another .

Don’t have to name names, if you read thru the posts, it’s clear to see who the bedwetters are…

Re: Has RW lost the plot
There’s plenty of time for signings from outside of the club………I think there will be literally hundreds of players released or available over the Summer and it’s important that we get the right players in even if it means waiting until August for them.
What’s a little concerning is the players who were here last season and have been offered terms but little sign of them signing.
If Vigs goes to Burnley then I think even the Bedwetters will accept it and wish him luck, I know I would……..but fans would be less happy if they joined another similar size L1 or 2 club.

Re: Has RW lost the plot
Any bigger L1 side or above would be a substantial wage increase plus a signing on fee so would be more surprised if he stays at this point.Cheshunto wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2023 6:24 pmThere’s plenty of time for signings from outside of the club………I think there will be literally hundreds of players released or available over the Summer and it’s important that we get the right players in even if it means waiting until August for them.

We do, however need a keeper by the first pre-season game else we'll have to get Simon Royce signed up to do a Dean Brill and start playing again

Re: Has RW lost the plot
I'm happy enough to be patient for any new signings . I appreciate the club might need to wait for the right players to come along and that's OK . However it's irritating that our out or contract players haven't re-signed yet or left . How much more time do they need ?
