    FindernRam got a reaction from Osbaldwick in New joke thread (trigger alert, may offend if you want it to)   
    Spent hours looking for the difference to the official logo then I realised that is the joke.  DOH!

    FindernRam reacted to Dave Mackay Ate My Hamster in We just fell short. We have to accept and deal with it. It's not a time for the "blame game".   
    Without parroting the "we only had 5 players just before the season started" mantra over and over again, the truth is at least 5 teams in our league, were at a far more advanced stage of team development than us - and it showed.

    We got off to a slow start because of it, we had a squad relatively thin in numbers, which told on occasions - and that, ultimately was the difference between a play-off spot, or better - and not.

    We could argue PW wasn't good enough, terrible key refereeing decisions in games, but ultimately lack of consistency cost us.

    I'd argue, at the start of the season, the average expectation of our final position would be somewhere between 10th and 4th - and we pretty much performed as expected. Yes, we had a few star recruits like McGoldrick and Hourihane, in their twilight years, but you need strength throughout.

    Recruiting late, and basically being stuck with those players with little or no wiggle room throughout the season, was no substitute for teams that were better planned and more organised than us.

    You don't get out this division quickly, unless you are relegated from the Championship with a heavyweight squad that you can afford to maintain whilst you're down here.

    Like most teams in League 1, we have to learn the "long division" route is the only sustainable route back up. We didn't have it, others did.

    Close but no cigar. But realistically not that surprising. 'Twas always thus in this division. Having 30,000+ crowds doesn't guarantee anything unless you get the basics right. We didn't have the time to nail all those basics.

    I'm as gutted as everybody else we missed out today, but foundations need to be built to progress upwards.

    DTID.

    FindernRam reacted to GenBr in Wrexham is there success way over the top in the media?   
    They've spent virtually nothing on transfers though. Yes the wages are probably a bit higher than other teams in that league, but they aren't exactly drowning the club with money. If the level of investment stays as it is they'd be able to do that indefinitely
    And if you are going to question how deep Reynolds pockets are we'll have to do the same with Clowes. Reynolds doesn't just make his money from movies - he's sold a number of company stakes for very good money in the past. 
    EDIT: Just had a quick look and turns out they have only paid one transfer fee in the entire time they have been there. They've also increased the revenue to record levels. Still made a loss of £2mill, but its not exactly massive is it. Not sure why you are all so upset about a club that nearly ceased to exist having a very modest amount of investment plugged into it.

    Football substitutes who are ready to come on when the manager demands it. Why aren't they already wearing the shirt and the boots. Timed somebody yesterday at nearly three minutes. The game stopped as the "injured" player and his "doctors" stalled for time whilst the sub went through his messing about. Surprised he didn't shave and shower first!
