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  |

I know it's slightly off topic but great result for Wales last night ad they managed to hold Gibraltar to a 0-0 draw 🙈 Yes, more than slightly off topic. This thread is all about the Euros |

I think we have to realise our budget this year is going to be tiny. We won’t be in the market for players like Humphrys. Way out of our league. I just checked the situation with Humphrys on Wiki. He has been released along with others including captain Ben Amos because Wigan can’t offer to extend his contract. In his farewell to the fans he forecasts worrying times under the new ownership saying that they expect the manager to build a side around their promising youth players. It appears that it is not just us that is feeling the pinch but I guess we knew that anyway. Surprising. The last time they were feeling the pinch they matched us all season, and spent enough to pip us to promotion. 😏 |

Seeing a lot of rumours that Price will be signing elsewhere since we haven’t offered him a deal. Very disappointing if true. We cant afford to take any chances on a player who will command a decent wage. He gave me no indications in his few weeks with us last season that we should be offering him a contract unless he can significantly step up from where he was 6/8 weeks ago. I doubt too many clubs would do so either. |

That's an interesting one and a long way from home in the north of the country. Doubt anyone would have expected this one to happen. Think after a difficult couple of years Truro are looking towards a new dawn and Askey could well be the right man for the job. |

If you are buying, the sizes are tighter than Umbro so they are advising folks to consider going up one size. They are quite happy to exchange them though as long as you have the receipt. just to be pedantic , I'd be a bit annoyed if I took it back and they wouldn't exchange as I'd lost the receipt, I mean where else would the kit have been purchased and when ?  Had to say I thought that too. |

It’s winter in NZ, are we sure he’s not going to play there until our season starts? Doubt it, he could have stayed playing in LOI if that was going to happen as they play in summer months. He was recalled about 2 weeks ago, reason now becoming obvious. |

Mata certainly wasnt a success but if you dont take a chance on young players untried at our level you wont have any successes.
It's the nature of the level we have to shop at these days.
Move on and hope we didnt pay anything like £100 k for him.

Rumoured homes games on 20th and 27th of July . Derby at the Meadow on the 20th and heard it was meant to be Birmingham on the 27th but will change now we in same divison. Derby game will be a good one for Hurst to laugh and joke with his opposite number Paul Warne...... 😲 |
