Point out Cardiff are a lower league side who he can’t be bothered to watch and he’ll just come back with ‘yeah….but we took more to West Brom than you last season’. Strange. |

You’re point scoring over….
A game you won in a season you finished rock bottom (and didn’t attend even though it was your cup final)
The amount of more committed fans than yourself that Cardiff have.
You aren’t going to wind anyone up when your points are that feeble |

This misses the point. The Liberty was opened with a sponsors name, as virtually all grounds are these days. It’s never had an organic name, unless you count the White Rock, which I think was just a working name until they agreed a sponsor.
Old, established grounds like the Racecourse and the Vetch have history and kudos. Changing them to hoodwink people overseas into thinking Wrexham isn’t an anglicised town where very few actually speak Welsh is both cynical and showing no respect to the clubs history.
I was annoyed when Monster munch sponsored the North Bank for a bit |

That’s a bit misleading.
It was included in the hospitality season packages.
The £50 and £85 was for the seats not allocated. It’s not as if everyone in hospitality at the Forest game paid £85, I doubt it’s anywhere near it. Not sure if that will apply against Man City. |

Wrexham disrespecting their own history by changing from a well established name to the Welsh equivalent, to appear pro Welsh to their American subscription audience. Not blaming them for sponsoring it, but the rest is just cynical.
The Racecourse, like the Vetch, had a bit of history and identity behind it.
It’s hardly a hotbed of Welsh speakers anyway.
I’m all for naming new things in Welsh, but I’d have been fuming if they’d tried to change the Vetch to the Welsh equivalent. |

The issue with the Hull substitutions, especially Eom and Cullen, was we brought attack minded players on, but expected them to play a scrappy, defensive game.
Cullen got a couple of tackles and a block in, but neither of them impacted the game at all offensively. Idah was having to drop deep, we had taken all our pace off, so they were all ineffective.
Bringing attack minded players on to pin them back and bringing square pegs on because our quicker/more defensive minded players are tiring are different things.
One thing is for sure, our fullbacks leave a lot of space and are being targeted. No one knows that better than Sheehan. I’m sure he’s working on it |

I agree with your previous point. We did well in the first half against Forest but they were on top. He was maybe unlucky against Hull in that we took Yalcouye and Innousa off and they were throwing the kitchen sink at us.
So although I think he could have done a lot more, particularly against Forest, we haven’t yet seen him when we’re controlling a game. It will happen soon enough and maybe he comes into his own then. |

To an extent, but strikers can still impose themselves on the game. Against Hull, he dropped deep and drifted out wide to link play.
He could have done that against Forest. It may not have got him shooting chances, but he’d have at least contributed to building attacks.
It’s not acceptable to just drift around barely getting involved when we’re not in top of teams and chances aren’t coming thick and fast.
It was his first start for us and against a very good team, so I’m all for giving him a bit of leeway, but I’m not going to pretend that was a decent performance. |

They do of course, but I think you have misread me slightly there.
Strikers have to play their own part in chances being created. Making runs, losing markers, being alert and not behind play etc… Chances don’t just get put on a plate.
I criticised Vipotnik for this a lot last season and now he’s doing it all. He deserves massive credit for it. |

This Vipotnik would have scored in a Luke Williams team without a doubt. Just like Joel Piroe scored goals with Matt Grimes, Jay Fulton, a more extreme version of Luke Williams running the team and Joel Latibaudiere providing the width.
The goal on Wednesday was the perfect example of what he was being criticised for not doing last season. Well timed near post run after losing his marker. Most people understand that strikers have to play their part in having chances created for them. Now he’s doing it.
Of course having Innousa, Galbraith etc is going to help him score more goals, but don’t kid yourself that the biggest change isn’t Vipotnik himself. He should be applauded for that, not portrayed as the same player as last season in a better team. |

May be a case of keeping a big gun on the bench? Very difficult to leave him out, but a fresh Yalcouye would be immense in the last half hour. Especially the way Birmingham play.
I think we all agree the substitutions really weakened us Saturday. |

Agree. If we get through the next round we’re practically guaranteed a PL team next anyway.
We’ll take it seriously from here whoever we play. The rewards are too big to treat it like the first two rounds. |

I think this could be a sliding doors game. Win and we’re on a real bounce, lose and the Forest game almost gets forgotten.
If we can stand up to their high intensity game and come away with a result, confidence will be sky high. |

Forgetting all analysis and everything else for a minute, that was just one of those games you get rewarded for supporting your local team.
Those seconds of expectation, frustration and pure joy between Galbraiths shot and Burgess smashing it in. Unbeatable |

I thought Eom was very good last night, particularly in the first half.
He’s well suited to open games where we’re going at the opposition and he can use his creativity. Particularly with Yalouye alongside him turning over possession and creating broken play.
Where he really shouldn’t be used is games like Saturday when it’s a dogfight, he doesn’t have much support around him and we need a backs to the wall battler in there protecting his fullback. That’s just not his game. |
