Coopers a shocking footballer isn’t he?

[Mistadobalina]

Should have had a pen imo. Better start but Cooper and Happe are a nervy pairing at the back.

[faith1234]

Down to 8 now

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Just so uncrisp today.
Still in it as they ain’t interested in scoring but are hard to break down. Need one bit of quality

[essexfootball]

Cooper Is fourth choice center back for a reason really, solid squad player but you wouldn't want him starting every week

[faith1234]

Well the run ends

[faith1234]

Unless we score and I can't see it happerning

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Seen those given as pens

[corkeireorient]

Down to 8 now

6th now

[faith1234]

Well I bad day at the office

[faith1234]

Jumped back to 2 places to 6 back in the playoffs

[gshaw]

Think that's the difference two injuries to key players makes, need a few extra reinforcements we weren't planning on now

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Got in some good positions but even our best players were sloppy and looked tired. Stockport are a solid side. It hurts but it happens. Onto the next

[cymruO]

It had to come to an end some time, and beaten by a very good side, but we were very flat and offered little against a very organised defence. Not the end of the world - still 6th.

[Mistadobalina]

Tight game. Stockport bossed us first half without creating that much and their goal was a gift. We gave it a good go second half but they defended well and rode their luck when needed - could have had at least one pen.

[corkeireorient]

Damb - Wrexham get a 95th min winner !

[Qin]

Here are my thoughts

1 We looked as if we wouldnt score even if the game went on till midnight

2 the ref was awful. You dont see me criticizing refs, but this one was atrocious

3 Our passing was poor. so many passes were underhit, or overhit or slightly in front of the target or slightly behind etc

4 The injuries have caught up with us

5 The Stockport player handling the ball in the area near the end was a cert pen...the ref bottled it big time. Ive seen a close up replay, and its a stonewall pen. Anywhere else on the pitch, ref would have given a free kick for that, but he bottled it. We needed a little lucky moment today

[PoundhillO]

Shows how desperate we have been and are still for another goal scoring forward.

[The Reverend]

Stockport deserved to win that. They managed the game incredibly well. Sometimes the other team just do a number on you. One of the best sides I’ve seen all season in terms of discipline and defensive tightness.

Ref looked like a work experience kid. Couldn’t keep up with the game and within 15 mins both sides were taking the p*ss out of him as he clearly had no authority over the game.

[PKM]

It was a very good run & had to end sometime
Just not at it today, misplaced passes/poor balls all afternoon.
We need to strengthen
Defensive midfield, we were poor today
Probably another centre half
Another forward
That’s about it, need 3 more in the building

[Rich Tea Wellin]

We did alright with a few goals elsewhere. I’d settle for still being in the playoffs

[DelightInE10]

the run had to come to an end, we need probs a centre back and a winger and we should still be in for playoffs

[Bergen]

Disappointing, but I still think that with a few additions we can stay in the race for a Play Off place.

COME ON

[B.whitehouse+10more]

On the day we were beaten by a better team who did a number on us get over it move on to the next game. Up the O’s

Seems to lack the basis skills you would expect of a professional footballer.
