Wrexham (A) - EFL Trophy

[Johnnyrotten]

Wrexham don't seem to be hugely up for this, 1,621 on at Vale last night and not exactly a long trip.  Made 10 changes from Saturday, Parky not treating this comp like IE would as a chance to get his win % up!

3 ties last night including 2 Q/Fs involving a Yorkshire derby and Birmingham, total crowds 7.5k, not many more than 1 game in the National League (Rochdale v Oldham).

I can't say I'm fussed either way, but different circumstances, they've no game on Saturday so presumably more likely to go nearer to full strength on Tuesday.  They have that many strikers they can easily rotate anyway.  For us, its Collins starts every game and nobody's too fussed who the other 10 are!

Faal scored for them last night.

I'd no idea that he played for them.

[Whitesince63]

Well if they can make 10 changes and still hammer Vale then we need to worry if they play a full team. ☹️

[bwfc2003]

I would imagine we will sell out

Not really, Vale made 11 changes from their last game.

Don’t think so, commentator said that he’d signed for us previously.

Commentator must have got mixed up. The Faal who played for us is now playing non-league. Read an article about him and what went on with Crawley - sounds like a right shitshow.

Nope, I discovered by accident that "our" Faal plays for Worthing in the Southern League now. .....he scored against Rochdale at the weekend !!

Removed comment about Faal now that I've read above posts!

I can only speak for myself, but it will be a long time before I worry about any game in this competition 😀

What are Rochdale doing in the Southern League?

They aren’t, it was in the FA Trophy

Think Faal’s debut for us was at Rochdale ironically enough 

[Rival Son]

That’s a relief. I thought things had got so bad for them, they’d been relegated from north to south!

yes

[Duck Egg]

That's incredible support.  Despite one or two misgivings on social media, the overwhelming majority of our fans are throwing their weight behind the team. 

[Big E]

Hopefully we get some more tickets 

[Piemon]
