Oh dear... Sean Dyche's lot having a bit of trouble at Wrexham.
2-0 at half-time... shoulda been 3-0

Michael,
There was a Wrexham fan at my work yesterday (a legit one from Wrexham who coaches here in Kansas City as opposed to all the fake American ones).
He was feeling very confident they'd do a number on Dyche.

Go Wrexham. What a story.
My mate lives in Chester and worked in Wrexham for a while. A right shit hole (his words) but the town has been re vitalized by the success of the football team.

Michael (1),
It looks like Dyche has done a Moyes — ie at the Wolves League Cup tie. He will make a few changes at half-time and put some proper first-team players on.
Will he suffer like Dour Dithering Dave and us!

Yes, Dave, you called it: three changes at the break.
Some more recognisable names coming on.
Nathan Broadhead playing for Wexham, getting the assist for their second goal.

Michael (6),
Three or four strikers came through the Academy in the last few years and went elsewhere. I thought that Broadhead was the best of them and only for persistent injuries would have done a lot better than he has.
He still gets the goals at a decent rate and has good ability in making some.

I read somewhere that we had been forced to 'liquidate' those Academy assets for cash, Dave, but I'm not convinced any of them were really good enough to play for us.
And any cash we got was peanuts really.

Cracking game this.
I suppose I might as well say it: Forest/Dyche have done well to get back into this one.
We were linked with Hutchinson over the summer. I remember some doubters. Hmm.... Hutchinson £37.5M ... or Dibling £42M?

After that penalty Dibling.

Wrexham win on pens, great stuff

Great finish to the penalty shootout.
The kid Okonkwo is quite the goalie!

Forest knocked out. The way to Wembley opens up for us. We're on the way.
Give us Wrexham next round: four cup games v Wrexham, 4 wins, 19-2 goals aggregate. I can almost feel the final.

Some size that Okonkwo, MK. Twenty-four.
He guessed right for all 5 Forest penalties.

Well played Wrexham... First Cup shock!
Hope we get Oxford away... but I very much doubt we'll get past Sunderland.

That's the spirit Billy. We need more of that.
Posted

Wouldn't worry about Billy's predictions Paul, he told us all we would get hammered by Nottingham Forest. Maybe he's trying a bit of reverse psychology?
Posted

You're a good man Edward and kind in your 'reverse psychology' point!
Although I did hear that Mr. Shears has sent scores of emails to Le Bris, all telling him that his Sunderland will batter us.

I wouldn't mind another crack at Port Vale, if we beat Sunderland.

Port Vale won during the week Jim.

That Wrexham forest game was a belter,end to end stuff proper cup tie.

I must have read the line-ups and subs used in that Wrexham v Forest game wrong but it seems to me that Forest used six subs.
Posted
10/01/2026 at
10:54:09
Above post (21) I was correct but read the rules wrong.
In the FA Cup another sub can be used when the game goes to extra time.
Moyes will be clapping his hands with delight knowing that!

If only we could show the same intensity as Spurs did in 2nd half display...sigh
Some fucking hope!!

Wait till David Moyes sees this cunning Charlton ruse of having some daft fucker miles offside when the opposition takes a free-kick.
It could be the trick we need to turn our season around!

Well done to John Rooney and Macclesfield. Absolutely magical.
Pity Everton don't care about this competition. But times change, I suppose. I won't be purchasing any domestic cup tickets again. Waste of time and money.

Manchester United exit the third round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2014.
No prizes for guessing who was in charge of the Red Devils that day.

Still a strong enough team at home, Tony.
Surprised they're out with a new manager bounce.

Did anyone notice how fast Brighton moved the ball against Man Utd? That's what killed them.
We move the ball so slowly, especially Jack Grealish (who has all the skill on the world). Jack should be No 10 (his Villa position) and we need to move the ball far quicker.

I remember watching Marine play Barnsley in the what must have been the 1st or 2nd round another lifetime ago.
We lost, I remember a hideous grizzling round Barnsley fan beard and bobble. I hope he enjoyed our hot drinks.
Barnsley not doing bad here, but need to create a chance or two.

How the fuck haven't Barnsley been given a penalty there?
I haven't seen the incident, I'm just going off what Ally McCoist and Dion Dublin have both said on the live feed I sometimes use when looking at the football scores!!
