What’s scary about playing at Holker Street?

No, the issue is we have a squad that in the round is moderate in terms of ability and character.

The league table doesn’t lie.

Staying in this league is all that matters with a trophy run hopefully.
Agree, a couple of good results has papered over a very poor team full of poor Cox signings.

What a shocking performance yesterday, if that's the effort they put in its time to show a few the door...
We were poor all over the park......what a chance gone to move up the table and put a hefty gap between us and the bottom 4

We do it time and time again against the shit teams.....Makoma.......a footballer ?????

Ady sort them out.........some are taking the [SwearFilter]

Make no mistake, I am a big fan of Moussa but MOM today? Having a laugh?

Chosen by Raiders coach Paul Crarey, must have thought Diara's tackle was a good try saver

Solihull were not a 'shit team', and it wasnt a 'shocking' performance.

Only positives Asa Hall scoring his first for us and I thought he was everywhere on the pitch and got stuck in, a proper captains performance, and Jimmy Dunne at the back again. Other than that very poor all round. And the sooner Moore is fit again to go in goals the better because Dixon still inspires no confidence whatsoever.
I like Hall, but he didn't have a great game today. Yeah, he scored, but he barely had a touch in the first half, and the second saw him win the ball, turn, and then just launch to no one - hard to see how that's a good thing!

Diarra was poor, even Gomis had an off day, and that''s the Dixon of old - dreadful today, flapping at everything, missing kicks etc.

Ref got a lot wrong too, and I can't figure out how that wasn't a penalty when Holt was through on goal! The crucial moment really.
Hall's passing wasn't great like the rest of them but he's not really a creative player, that's something we miss is someone who can put their foot on the ball and keep it, especially when we play without any outlet in wingers.

I also thought Holt was brought down but a few others have said no...he was caught towards the end with a nasty challenge but the referee missed it and went back to an earlier injury. No excuse for the linesman though stood right in front of it who did nothing!

All the players looked lethargic and not interested right from the kick-off.

They also backed off all the time when Solihull were heading towards goal.

On that performance we won’t be losing anyone in the transfer window.

Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing. ;)

Adi and grant are working with mainly cox’s players i hope he can bring some of his own players in a jan the squad has been lacking in midfield all season. I missed the game yesterday but sounded like we need moore back in goal

Anyone who has witnessed the excellent results away from home of late will tell you how much effort and determination the players have shown in achieving those results.
Sadly our home form isn't replicating the same efforts or determination. We looked jaded once again and some just simply are not up for the battle.
It's up to the players and management to make sure they are all in the right frame of mind at Wrexham otherwise we are all in for a torrid afternoon in North Wales.

Harrison needs taking down a peg or two. He gives the impression that he is far better than this team (or even this league) deserves. In my opinion he has never put in any sustained effort. I said it about him last season and it hasn't improved this season. For me, he should be the first one (but not the only one) replaced. Will there be many teams vying for his signature? He can move on asap.

That's a very bold statement considering he scored 20 + goals for us and was out for three months.

I think he gets a bit of stick regarding his supposed lack of interest because of his style of play, I remember people saying the same about Kenny Lowe.
I still believe if he gets the right service he'll score goals for us, I'd also have him as our first choice striker any day of the week with what we have available at the moment.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Watch the highlights and tell me that's not a penalty! No chance Holt was going over already - he's shaping to shoot. Frustrating that our last two results have effectively hinged on stonewall penalties not being given.

I think we are more suited to playing away. We lack creativity and struggle to break teams down. forcing the play doesn't suit us.
