I think the fact we know how good the individual players in the team can be made the performance seem worse. The fact is we were never worried at the back and decided to control the game instead of taking unnecessary risks. Albania were a lot more effective going forward than I expected them to be so credit to them and every team will have good spells. Certainly not perfect but its job done for tonight. Albania ![???](//storage.proboards.com/1258782/images/ZEjvtQKOmLArVPumuTsh.png)

Not a great performance but good enough.
Cant do better than a clean sheet and score a great goal.
No need to be brilliant in the group games just get through then start to improve.
PS Notice Noto has gone to bed early after his prediction ......

We know the Serbs fans are no Angels, so I'm sure they will find afew England fans to have a fight with.
Let's stop taking ALL of the blame for a change.

Not much delivery from the posties here in Brighton. Deliver about twice a week (and not on Saturdays). I recently got a card from my daughter in Folkestone that took 10 days - with a 1st class stamp! Too many Scottish postmen around here! I wouldn’t miss it if they stopped delivering all together. Junk mail, everything else paperless. Occasional legal document can be couriered….or collect it from your local ‘locker’ 👍 Soon be a thing of the past a bit like milkmen…. Still a milkman comes down our street every day, approx 00.15 am 6 days per week without fail. Not sure how many he delivers to but I doubt it's more than 1 household given the time before he is coming back.

Guess he realises by other defenders signing in that he isnt likely to be a first choice player under Hurst.

A good, comprehensive report, Liam has certainly made a difference. Unfortunately he is probably not allowed to mention whether there is any progress in talks pertaining to fresh investment or take over at the top. Are talks still going on and are we getting any closer to preferred buyer status. Unfortunately our rumour provider seems to have gone very quiet on here - I hope he hasn’t been banned! As he hasnt posted for so long you can only assume I guess. Of course he might have chosen to have a period of abstinence.

Price has a huge job of proving his fitness, to me he did nothing to prove it in his trial over the last weeks of the season.
We simply cant take a punt on this on the wages he is likely to be on. Those sort of wages we cant have him playing a few minutes cameo or being on the treatment table.
If we miss out by doing this I couldnt blame the club for being hesitant.

Just one more to sign/confirm departure now that Pierre signed in the week - Udoh. Has anyone heard any rumours either way? I personally think he’s off but would be happy if he signed. Yes, not heard much about Udoh. So far my earlier predictions I've called all 4 right, I'd be very happy to get my Udoh prediction wrong though. I said he would be gone.

What Hurst wanted in January might be quite different to what he wants right now. Hurst was hamstrung by how he could play with someone else's players and needed to battle enough to stay up. Now he is putting his own team together so needs might be significantly different now. Just a thought.

So that's todays defender signing then. No one totally new coming in yet then I guess.
Aaron sounds like he is looking forward to a good pre season, bet he wont when he is going through it.....

We do like a double signing of late! Well we did have what seemed like hundreds coming in last pre season when Moore was new to the job. Trouble was very few of them were good enough.

Let's hope we dont finish 2 places below our budget this season. 2 places above might just see us finish safe in 20th.

Our deadly hot shot from 20 years ago managed to get a penalty onto the Staffordshire Moorlands.... I believe that ball is still in orbit. Did not hold the record for distance travelled though, that is still held by Wolves’ Robbie Dennison when the commentator said “Dennison passes to Venus”. That was one hell of a wayward pass.

Lucky Swindon, I'll get situated on the Cotswolds to catch some of his shots :-) Our deadly hot shot from 20 years ago managed to get a penalty onto the Staffordshire Moorlands....

Blimey that's two now who aren't awful 😅 Yes you do get the feeling that its Hurst doing the recruiting this year. Things feel much more positive. Guess Moore is involved somewhere too else he needs to go.

Hopefully get a few more in over the next few days, sure Hurst will be eager to get them super fit with some gruelling stuff over Haughmond 😳

x.com/MarosiMarko/status/1800211680087187582Definitely gone then. What’s with the incorrect statements in the goodbye messages from recent players though? First Dunkley got it wrong and now Marosi. Last season wasn’t our second highest finish in our history at all. So strange! Shame but we move on. Any news on the Udoh or Pierre fronts yet?

Looking for the recent Town home programmes if anyone can help. Once I've got these few I've got every Town home game (league and cups) going right back to 1955/6 in full.
2021/22 - Sunderland, Crewe (FLT), Wolves U21 (FLT) 2022/23 - Cambridge, Bristol Rovers.

Wow, fair play to him getting another league 1 club. Not even bothered he joined the red scum. Great servant to Salop. Shows Wrexham's limit though signing our cast offs. Think there is some fishing going on here, and you've been hooked. As Pilch says this is something he signed up for as a one off, no doubt picking up some decent money along the way. Cant blamwhom for that. Doubt if Benno wasnt going to be up for doing a job for Town over a season that he will be on Wrexhams radar tbh.

Think it's great that PH has brought in a replacement as soon as Dunkley had decided to move on. That hasnt just happened, it will have been the plan for a while.
Hope and expect he will have replacements already lined up for Marosi and Udoh should they too decide to go as well. And other new recruits for those who werent retained.
We might be shopping at Home Bargains this summer but it's good to plan your purchases in advance.

We've hardly got "this year's budget" tho have we...it was spent,or overspent by the previous incumbent.....and we're paying for it big time FGR splashing the cash for a non league side. Signed 4 players so far. 2 of them regulars in league 1 and two in league two last season. 3 of them had been offered deals by their clubs and rejected them and the other one was captain of a promoted league two club. They'll expect to bounce straight back Good job they are not in our league then. Guess Steve is happy that he has finally got a budget to spend that he wants. Just hope his Chairman can fund it going forward.

That was a very worrying performance - flat in attack creating very little against Iceland's low block and wide open to the counter with the defence all over the place. Much work to be done on the training ground next week. , caught us cold early on, and then they parked the bus, 11 men behind the ball it was a friendly and all we could do was attack them and continue to do so until we scored, we just couldn't find the net, good to get that out of the way and remind us about complacency before the real thing, glad I never took the p**s out of Wales earlier, these things happen occasionally, just hopefully not too often Iceland are ranked 72nd so still in the top half of the world nations. Gibraltar are 203rd, in the bottom 10 of the nations. To not score against them is a total embarrassment As you say, get that out of the way and remove any complacency. Who have Wales got on their first game, remind me I've forgot.....

Get that one out of the way before the real games start.
Could be worse, we could have failed to score against the 'mighty' Gibraltar in 203rd place out of 210 in the rankings.

I was underwhelmed when we signed Max Mata and proved right. Seriously hope I’m wrong about this kid. Situation is this, we simply cannot afford strikers with a proven track record of success. Hopefully one day we will get a diamond in the rough 🙏 We did - Udoh. Was only really for the one season though due to injury and being played totally wrongly.

Still waiting for buy out to be completed. Enough done for so they were allowed to sign a few players but new Consortium not putting in more money until they have full control Back under a transfer embargo due to latest winding up order which is partly from non payment of Solicitors fee who represented them in previous winding up cases. He is certainly dragging the club through the s h I t. There will be one big party in Southend when (if?) he ever sells up.

Mods - do we need another thread being taken OT with more cross border willy waving. Dont we have a Wrexham thread already where that takes place, wouldnt it be better to keep it all on one thread and keep this one for the intended discussion ![???](//storage.proboards.com/1258782/images/ZEjvtQKOmLArVPumuTsh.png)
