I maintain this squad hasn't got a chance of promotion without some help in attacking areas. Fatawu injury away from zero creativity.

It would be negligence of the highest order to not find some attacking reinforcements. Which is Rudkins speciality to be fair.

Something must be going on, the squad is so obviously light in a few key areas and theres barely even a whisper of a rumour and Marti has pretty much shut all talk of signing people down. Like most have said, it cant be an official one as it would need to be announced and on the EFL website and is perhaps self imposed or an attempt to lessen the punishment from last year's breach? If true I would argue that dismantling squad to the point of relying on Ayew/Daka and the kids the fire us up the league quite simply wont happen and you would be better off just spending the money and taking the punishment. But as ever with the club thr fans are always the last to know.

The guys trying to pull together 16/17 year olds, mixed in with a group of aging mercenaries who for the most part are trying to get out. A squad that spent the most part of a year getting absolutely pumped every week, with a non existent leadership structure in the background, managed by 2 utter clowns. Hes not been allowed to spend a penny on any players for his system. People keep saying why is he playing X failing to realise Y isn't much better and hed probably get the same pelters. And to be honest who the hell would want this gig after him? A club in PSR mess, a board that has failed to back and lied to multiple managers. Honestly think getting top 6 would be an absolute miracle unless we see a complete 180 on spending in the next 10 days. For me I accept he wont be perfect, but hes playing the youth which most of us want and hes been dealt an awful hand. I think we are all going to have to dig deep and back him harder than we did with Cooper and RVN when it goes wrong.

Ive not seen that one haha

Top 3 comments from Wrexham fans after the game haha

I also love that George Hirst after his embarrassing celebration against Birmingham, hasn't managed to do the thing he does again

No idea on the goals. But I'm not shocked a coady and ward combo has bottled it

Positives We dug in thought Okoli and Vestergaard defended well Stolarcyk was excellent Fatawu confidence goal Got through a very tough away game with 16/17 year olds starting Marti subs were decent Hamza was excellent Monga showed bits again Ricardo got some minutes Negatives Midfield is awful, skipp in particular is woeful we have to sign at least 1 CM minimum. We are desperate for a striker, Ayew was awful, when we needed him to do what hes meant to be good at he wouldn't release it, was gagging for fouls and lost the ball so many times. Daka was his normal useless self. Luke Thomas continues to plays like a child. We have to sign a BEK replacement, page doesn't look ready yet. Managed the game so so poorly the last 20 minutes, constantly giving it back, allowing crosses.

We've been awful at managing the game. Very lucky Charlton are a poor side. Regardless of how this finishes we have alot of work to do

Okoli not bad at defending. Absolutely awful at passing, worse than awful maybe haha

I said to my mates it feels like we will only score from Fatawu doing it all. That's some goal. Hes comfortably our best attacking player

Another great save. Be 2 or 3 with danny ward

This is spot on, they know they are the danger, they are almost vacating the middle of the park and saying go on win it with skipp, soumare, page and ayew...

I know we all used to joke about Ndidi being older than claimed. But this guy has to be in his 40s. He cant run, pass, tackle, head, jump and has the footballing brain of Soumare

We are lucky Charlton are a poor side, we are devoid of any real quality. The midfield doesn't exist, they offer nothing. Page unfortunately has looked out of his depth so far. Ayew is a dreadful striker to have playing this way, kills all your momentum, obsessed with winning free kicks and plays exactly like a striker who only score 4 a season. Fatawu is getting frustrated and over complicating it. Its just a squad devoid of quality and belief. No real options to change it other than ricardo and hope. Long season ahead of we dont bring some attacking options in.

That's some save

Got absolutely nothing going forward at all outside of Fatawu taking everyone on

Soumare and Skipp again the problem, dont get forward to help, create nothing and easy to play through defensively.

I maintain Marti hasn't got much chance here if people have pitch forks out already. Vestergaard aside, he has no options, no signings and is relying on a combination of 16 year olds and mercenaries with a couple of relegations in their pockets.

The issue for me is when you look at the bench, wanya and silko thomas being the next men up behind two 16 year olds. Squad is crying out for help in attacking areas. Really happy for monga and Page to be in the mix, but certainly in Page case its a huge ask to be solely relying on him. Monga in a rotation with mavididi is fine

I dont think he has much choice? If mavididi has a knock and BEK is off. Concerns me that Page is now the only player for that CAM role. We have to address that. But otherwise im excited to see what they can do

Vestergaard and the Skipp/Soumare combination is just horrific. This is not a top 6 squad unless these academy lads take a huge leap.

You have to imagine its because of high wage demands he hasn't signed anywhere. As a free transfer he should be a decent low risk addition to most squads in the bottom half of the prem, top half of the championship.

With Dibling to Everton and Glasners comments about investing in the squad, I wonder if they will come back and just agree to whatever the issue was that led to talks pausing. Be interesting to see if he starts today or not, probably gives us an indication.
