Well he (along with Galbraith who played the main part) made the early chance for Vipotnik. We only had two clear chances all game. People don’t see the skill involved in getting the chance he missed, it’s not a coincidence they seem to drop to him.
But yes, it was an absolute sitter. Routledge was very similar, albeit at the top level, so good at getting into positions but couldn’t finish.
Wouldn’t get in any other championship team? He frequently gets in the Wales team.
Vipotnik just came off with the heavy fixture load in mind I would think. Particularly with Idah being potentially unavailable. |

Nor am I really an in fact there are some similarities in playing style.
But Cullen is routinely involved in either creating decent chances or getting on the end of them. Where he evidently needs to improve, is being clinical when he gets those chances. |

He isn’t a natural finisher - agreed.
Similar to Oli Cooper - no chance. Cooper doesn’t get that chance yesterday because he doesn’t make the run to get a practically open goal between two bigger, stronger centre backs. Obviously I can’t defend the attempt from there, it was woeful.
We had two big chances yesterday…
Galbraith-Cullen-Vipotnik
Galbraith-Cullen
Stick Oli Cooper in there and neither chance happens.
Strikers missing chances is frustrating, but I’m more critical of strikers not putting themselves in positions to get chances. |

Three started, but four came off the bench. Seven players out of sixteen.
Not suggesting it’s coming from anyone in particular, but there seems to be a kind of undercurrent of wanting to discredit Adam Worth because he aggravated people on here in the past. I hope I’m seeing something that’s not there, but I do get that feeling.
Sheehan couldn’t get a tune out of them because he overachieved last season and got the job off the back of it. It’s not just an improvement in results under Matos, you can see ideas he’s trying to implement, we’re more decisive transitioning from back to front and aren’t devoid of ideas as soon as we reach the final third |

In fairness, I think the previous management team are the biggest reason we’re so low in the table.
Challenge for Matos is to get more out of this group of players and I think he’ll do it with ease.
Cullen scores that open goal yesterday and we’ve got half a chance of a result at the prospective champions |

His one trick does actually work fairly often. What gets me with him, is his lack of effort.
Happy to run at players, but loses the ball and just shrugs his shoulders and jogs back to his position. Doesn’t protect his fullback or get involved physically, just waits to be given the ball again.
Just stinks of a loan player who doesn’t want to be here. |

Yes, absolutely. That was a header all day long. It wouldn’t have even hurt.
He’d done the hard part, finding and drifting into the gap between the two defenders. It’s frustrating, because that and the ball from Galbraith are 99% of the goal. Then he missed the open goal by not throwing his head at it |

He won’t. Managers rate him even if fans don’t.
On a more holistic point, people are picking their preferred players in each position but we’ve got seven games (six league, one cup) in January and our attacking players rarely finish games anyway.
Cullen, Idah, Fulton, Yalcouye wouldn’t be in my starting eleven for a cup final, but they’ll all get plenty of football over the next few weeks. The first two will probably get the odd start. |

I agree with this. Even if we just sent Benson home and brought a quality loanee in at RB.
Not only does it free up our best player to play in a more influential position, it lessens the workload for those around him, particularly Franco and Stamenic. Gives Matos more flexibility - he could play those three for tougher teams away, or rotate the more defensive minded pair and play either of them alongside Galbraith and Widdell for the majority of games.
We’ve got quite a versatile midfield when Galbraith is back in it IMO.
I agree with the general gist though. We don’t need major surgery. It’s a decent squad. |

Even early on, they didn’t really threaten us.
They were high intensity, committing in numbers and high up the pitch. It did rattle us and we couldn’t get our game going, but even then they didn’t look like breaking us down. Moore out jumping Cabango in the first couple of minutes was as good as it got for them until the OG |

Yes of course.
For context, I was responding to OHLs post where he accused Wrexham fans who sung ‘you can stick your Union Jack up your arse’ and Swansea fans who applauded them, of being ‘full of bitter, narrow-minded, nationalistic shite’.
Whether you are happy with the flags or not, I’m sure you can appreciate the irony there. |

This used to happen a lot in the early PL seasons. Opponents fans used to think they had an off day after they played us.
None of Wrexhams attackers looked particularly threatening because we shut them down. They didn’t play well because we didn’t allow them to |

Do you know what, this may seem paradoxical, but I don’t care about English clubs coming down here with the St George cross. It doesn’t carry the same connotations for me.
The UJ at our games is more than just pride in being British. I’m sure you know that Brazilian, Korean etc flags are pure support.
You don’t really see it at football, these people tend to chain themselves to bridges instead, but I’d think the same about Welsh nationalist flags. Same goes for anything relating to Irish politics or history. |

Im not easy to offend. I’m just of the belief that football should be about supporting your team, not making political statements. You’re way too intelligent to think that’s not what’s going on.
Appreciate you don’t go to games, but if you did, you’d see there will be a lot less for the West Brom game than than there were on Friday. Cardiff over the last few seasons has been a different level again |

I was surprised at just how many Swans and Wrexham tops were on display at the venue in LA where Snoop Dogg watched it.
Obviously we all know the size of the country, but I think the general perception here is there isn’t a big market for championship football, yes your Liverpools and Man Uniteds, but not much beyond that.
I think we, or certainly I, may have underestimated the potential. |

It’s not the flag. It’s people flying it and their reasons for it.
Some will say it’s just a flag, but only the very surface level will believe that. |

Because the Korean, Brazilian and Spanish ones aren’t flown with insidious but blatant political undertones. I don’t want our club to be the Welsh Rangers.
I’m just not a big fan of Nationalism. Welsh nationalism just the same. |

Often seems to be a strong correlation between people who moan when Wales are playing and people who like seeing Union Jacks when we play Wrexham or Cardiff |

People who take Union Jacks to games between two Welsh teams tend to be amongst the most bitter, narrow minded and nationalistic.
Away from football grounds, it’s a flag to be proud of. [Post edited 23 Dec 8:24]
