Defining moment of the season, we turn right up for the derby and it sets us off on a great run over Xmas, thus re-igniting our season
*crosses all fingers and toes*
I'm usually wrong anyway, so I'm going for a narrow 6-7 loss

If its a draw is there a replay or extra time and penalties?

I believe it goes to a replay
Even if we do lose I don't think he will go on the back of an FA Trophy defeat personally!

Who gives a @#$%& about brabin !?? He's picked this team Basicaly from scratch, he's had enough time to put his stamp on tactics and selection, he's a joke and needs to go asap !!
Sorry, posted my humanitarian message too soon after the game when emotions are still raw! Will try to be more sensitive in future. Totally understand your frustration and anger, but with age I have become a bit more philosophical and know there are no easy fixes. Players have to shoulder some of the blame; I'm sure Brabin is as frustrated as us but he will ultimately pay the price for the failures. Long, hard road ahead for all of us; let's hope there's still enough of us around when we reach the light at the end of the tunnel (bloody dark at the moment though!).

ive just been looking at todays fa trophy results, there were a few games called off but it seems as if most of the conference clubs in the top half of the table have progressed to round 2 with the exception of ourselves and forest green. is it good to be out of this competition or not? if forest green go on to take the conference title then maybe yes its wise to go out early, on the other hand ,if Cheltenham go and do the double [ conference title and fa trophy winners ] then maybe not, lol.
I think a Wembley trip would of been fantastic for the club, mickey mouse or not. Wrexham were singing about wembley most of the game, passion you see. Exactly what we are lacking.

Then a bad very Kirby pass put Ihiekwe in trouble and they scored the third. Their player hit the post but it came straight back to him and he put it in. When we hit the post in the first half it didn't come straight back to Mekki and their keeper was able to save the follow up.
Norwood[throughout] and Mekki [first half] were miles better than the rest.

Davies' saves were all average stops you'd expect your keeper to make. Their keeper's made at least 3 probably 4 great saves in the first half.The Daily Post Welsh edition made HIM their man of the match not one of the outfield players.
Yep! Can't think of a save for Davies that wasn't routine to be honest. Good choice of Man of the Match for the Daily Post. Can't think of another Wrexham player more worthy!

Agree with Belmont. Lots of chat on here about tactics. But the simple fact is that tactics have nothing to do with it- the squad is very very poor. No pace, skill or creativity. Brabin has to fall on his sword as he brought most of them here.
Some of the players takes me back to my glory days in Div 2 of the Birkenhead Sunday league.

I think if they played in div 2 of the Birkenhead league this lot would struggle..I played for Church Drive juniors in the 1970s and reckon we would beat the team Brabbin in putting out ..I have been a season ticket holder since 1980 and this is the worst tranmere team I have seen and in my option based on commitment , endeviour and never giving in the lads that I played with in the 1970s would win hands down ...I still play a Sunday 5 aside with some of the lads from the 1970 team and we all agree that in our day if you couldn't play with either foot you would never have made our team ...it seems today that it is ok to have one foot and a swinger ..basic stuff I know , and people will say Messi has only got a left foot...this is true but how many Messsi are there ...None in the tranmere team ..What do the first team practice in training..?? .. It beggars believe...bottom line if things don't improve there are 4 teams relegated for this division ...and before anyone says that this is trash taking and negative....we have been here before in the last two seasons when someone would say relegation was a possibility they would be shot down in flames...What happened ......we got relegated....2016 is massive and we need a manager and a team preferably with footballers who can use either foot ...at present we have neither ...Lets hope that Farther Christmas brings us some Christmas cheer by way of a new manager who has some tactical nause and a team that will play for him...Merry Xmas ...

Routine, really, gale force wind rain, glad your not the goalkeeping coach, your not Ronnie Taylor by any chance are you. I though both keepers were outstanding yesterday and saved both teams a bug scoreline. And Wrexhams goals were all really well taken from composed indivduals, bar Norwood non of ours can do that. Shooting from the halfway line twice says it all McNulty in the first half and Norwood from the restart.

ive just seen the wrexham goals on you tube. oh deary deary me! their 1st goal, he has picked up the ball on the edge of his own box and ran at ease right through our midfield, WHERE was the challenge on him? their 2nd goal , the bearded no8 scored and we had about 2 or 3 players just watching him. the final goal to concede at the back post direct from a corner, NO EXCUSES. maybe its better that I live overseas than to witness that.
The 31st to 37th word in that last post sums it all up really! Get counting everyone!!

Don't have to count-the words in question stick out like a sore thumb.
