I must admit i felt quite envious watching that, it was like turning the clock back to how we used to be. What a contrast to our last outing which amounted to one corner and one shot on target.

 

He appeared in our first team at 17, and left us at 18 years old, if we're writing players off as rejects at that age then there's not much hope for anyone.

The fee and transfer was a surprise, but it's indicative of where we were (and probably still are) at as a club.

 

I thought you had to be out of work to get a pundit gig on the bbc, have we sacked Hughes?

 

Wish we had him owning our club

 

Me too

 

Leaders lead from the front, in modern football that includes the owner. In fact there’s no one more important imo.

 

Ironic the guy Parky signed for City was the guy to keep Sheffield United in the tie, gutted for the guy.

 

Bring back the style of play from the Parky era? If they do I hope we learn how to defend first. Some of the Wrexham defending was laughable.

 

He wasn't that old when he was with City,so I guess he would have gone back to Sunderland,and progressed from there.

 

Whilst I tend to agree with your sentiment. Let's not forget that it was hardly season upon season of steady advancement under the previous regime. Prior to Parkinson, Messrs Rhodes and Lawn had about as much luck with managers as the present owner is having. If we remove Parkinson from the equation, no manager can really be considered a success at Valley Parade since the last administration. That's about 5 of the last 23 years where the club's looked upwardly mobile, what a terribly depressing statistic that is.

 

Didn't quite answer my question. How much higher up the league would we be if Rupp was sat inside VP on a matchday "showing an interest".

 

To be fair to Wrexham, they lost 2 defenders through injury in the first 10 minutes

 

Watching the replay and specifically Paul Mullin. His all round game is at least top end league 1, could even test himself at championship. His first touch and movement are generally far too good a level compared to his team mates. Deserves to play at a better level.

 

It’s taking John Egan to be at his best to keep him scoreless so far tonight.

 

As we've spoken about Mullin will be getting well rewarded at Wrexham, as you say his all round play suggests he could do it at a higher level.

 

Can't believe Parkinson hasn't put Elliot Lee on. Best midfielder they've got by some distance.

 

Just the sort City shoud have got

 

We can't afford players like him

 

Billy Sharpe wasn't very complimentary about them after the match
