+1 for the aggression

“The difference between us and Barrow was the overall size and physicality of our players who in many instances brushed away their forwards away with ease and made them look like schoolboys against men”
Copied from their forum.
I don’t disagree really, apart from when we were passing through them almost at will early in the first half.
Other sides might get the message that we can knocked off the ball too easily. Thank God Cox has gone, but wouldn’t have happened under him.
Going to be very interesting to see how this develops. We all know it’s a tough league; I’d watch our current style any day over what we’ve had to endure over the last few seasons.

Salford fans on twitter praising our support even at 3-1 down.

Have now seen the Havant and Salford games this season being a Manchester based fan. Both sides were big compared to us - we handled Havant easily enough as they are not the most skillful side but as many have said above Salford are big with skill and that in the end proved the difference. Solihull will be a very interesting challenge as they are normally a big team. They've had a good start to the season and I think this game more than any will tell us where we are in this league.

My Wrexham supporting son-in-law went to Solihull for his teams' first defeat of the season on Monday.. Says they fell into the trap of lumping it into the box where Solihull had a back four of six-plus footers. As worrying he said they were just as dangerous up front at set pieces and one of them scored the only goal.Hopefully IE will have done his homework.

Just seen the highlights - second goal - I owe Granite an apology - it was Dan Jones who decided not to challenge the big Salford lad - he just watched him jump and head it - you cannot do that - he's learning but that was awful - It's a shame because he is a good footballer - but centre halves have to defend first . Will we see him in the team on Saturday I wonder ?

Waterstone produces and offers nothing, hindle after a bright start to season hasn’t done a great deal in last couple of games, Smith isn’t a lad who can play against 2 centre half’s on his own.

Hope Blythes a good player.

Agreed, Waterstone offers nothing and was a passenger throughout. Not sure about the LB either wearing a skin under his top in August as well he thinks it was cold Monday wait till middle of Jan at Holker St on a Tues night mate!!! Like Brown at RB he looks as tho he’s got a bit about him!!

We will win Sat..........

Are you totally [SwearFilter] blind, watch the highlights,a great piece of play by the lad created our goal for starters. Do you actually go to football matches ?

Interesting watching the highlights to see the linesman's reaction to the Hindle 'handball'. When Hindle controls it, the linesman changes direction and starts as if to move upfield, as if anticipating what would be Hindle's move forward, then as the crowd shouts he changes his mind and flags immediately. Definitely a penalty won by the crowd!
