Title: County
Post by: distancetraveller on May 08, 2022, 01:23:23 PM
2-0 down at HT

Looks like they need to climb a Welsh mountain to get back into this one

They couldn't blow it ... could they?

County have a game in hand vs Torquay on Wednesday and Halifax on Sunday, both at home. Four points and they've still won it.
Wrexham play AT Dagenham (still with a chance of making the play offs) on Sunday.
Tense nailbiter (for them 😉)

County clearly want the season to end ASAP.

Wrexham might just run out of road - but it'll only take one slip up with the goal difference swing today... and they'll be bricking themselves about having to play Halifax.

I wouldn’t put money on County they are struggling just now. I reckon they wouldn’t fair well in a playoff scenario either they seem to have lost the plot

I agree. The pressure has got to them.

Wrexham we’re very clinical today. Palmer and Mullen bounce of each other well.

County seems to have lost the plot a bit, shaky at the back. Newby is very left footed orientated, (similar to Mooney and Pringle) Dan is using his right foot more often of late.
Madden was off target a lot today.

It will be close, if Stockport don’t win it as league champs I really do fear for them in the playoffs

I hope both teams go up, they have too much for this league and both will do well in Lge 2.

Stockport have lost a lot of games recently & seemingly a lot of their momentum with it. There’s no doubt if the season lasted another week then Wrexham would win it. I’d say it’s pretty much 50/50 now.

If Wrexham win it, and my earlier hunch about Solihull Moors in the playoffs comes good, we could yet have a revenge mission over Christmas.

County in the box seat now. Just need a draw at home to Halifax even if Wrexham win at daggers.

Well done county. Tonight’s win should have settled the nerves a bit.

Go and beat or draw with Halifax this weekend and job done.

I also hope Wrexham win a place in Div 2 next year, both teams will do well.

Stockport might struggle against Halifax, so U think it is in the balance who wins the tile still.

I like Stockport and think their fans have been class in non league, I don't like Wrexham at all, though actually most of their fans are ok, having done the away turnstile against them this season - its the few that are obnoxious bullies that makes me dislike them.

So, i should want Stockport to go up, and Wrexham to stay down, but I'd rather have Stockport back at Moss Lane next season than Wrexham, so I am torn on this.

Would their Hollywood backers jump ship if they fail to get promoted?

I suspect a lot depends on whether Halifax go for third (and thus one game less for promotion) or save for the play-offs. At any rate, they're one of the few teams in this league who ought to have a chance of beating County, so far from certain.

If Wrexham played all their playoff games at home, they'd annihilate anyone in the playoff picture.

With the final being at Wembley, it does make everything a little bit less certain for them.

Wrexham, Solihull and Halifax stronger than the other 3.

I think Halifax will go up

I would like that too. However I believe Wrexham are too good and Solihull too organised for there to be too much of a chance of it happening. Hope I'm wrong.

Not being pedantic (point still valid!), but for anyone who may have missed it, the final was moved to the London Stadium: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61217814

Hope so 10 to 1 with the bookies
