Nicholson's Future Looking Clearer

After speculating on his future yesterday, I understand we won't see Stuart Nicholson at The Racecourse next season.
It was interesting, apart from the Shrewsbury fan in the Aiston shirt below, to see a lad after the game in a Shrewsbury top with "NICHOLSON" on the back. His parents must have money to burn-"Dad, can I have a shirt with a name on it? I want that ineffective lad we've got on loan until the end of the month."
Maybe it was bought when he arrived in a magnificent act of blind faith in a bloke they'd never even seen play. That reminds me of a guy I saw in the crowd at a test match at Old Trafford a couple of years ago. It was before the season had begun but he was wearing a Port Vale shirt with the name of their new signing on the back-Hector Sam! I didn't have the heart to tell him.
(Maybe I should take the end of that paragraph back-few people shed a tear when he left, but most of us would welcome him back now!)

Joey Speaks For Us All

As we waited for Brian Little to come out after the game Joey Jones made a rare appearance wandering out of the tunnel and was plainly furious about something. We soon found out what-the team!

Joey didn't expand on it, but it transpires that he marched into the changing room after the game ended to tell the players exactly what he thought of them; Wrexham runs through him and he hurt as much as any of the brilliant twelve hundred on the away end today.

As Brian Little said, there's no point in having a go at the players as they are trying their best; they're just not good enough, for whatever reason. If you thought seeing a whole team arrive in the transfer window was exciting, wait until the Summer. The revolving door at Collier's Park will be a blur!

Told you!!

I'm psychic, me! God, that was good!!!

Get on the Good Foot!

Let's be positive about tonight! If we sit back and wait for things to happen we'll be punished, but in the last two games we haven't done that, and if we get on the front foot we can have a night to remember (Eep! I sound a bit like a foot fetishist there!)

If we'd played this game on the rearranged date we wouldn't have had Steve Evans, Danny Williams or Neil Rovberts available. Now we've got that solid spine to the team, and we should be well equipped for a derby scrap.

Okay, they were much better than us at The Racecurse, but that was when Brian Carey was still finding his feet, and Steve Evans was sent off in the first half too.

Plus, their pitch is in awful shape, and as they're in the play-offs I reckon that should work in our favour-it'll introduce a random factor to compensate for the fact that they're better than us!

Also, their form has been as patchy as their pitch, and they're under presure too.

Someone's going to crack tonight. Let's make sure we get at them from the start to ensure it's not us!
