Anyone know why Andrews didn't make squad? Is he injured again?

Like so many issues surrounding the players we usually only find out when the team sheet is announced,or a supporter happens to know a particular player and lets something out of the bag that the club would prefer to keep to themselves. the club did not announce the signing of Moore until a certain reporter fronted Johnson with the question, twelve days ago Johnson said Hall was close to fitness, but no sign of him and boy how we need him.What is happening with Wright, what injury does he have, will we see him this side of christmas, these are not confidential issues that will affect promotion or relegation, because neither will bother us this season, with our recent acquisitions it is hard enough for us as supporters to know how we will set up and we watch the team every week so opposing coaches have no chance.
The weekly press conferences are not worth the effort for either the manager or us supporters who have to listen to 20 minutes of nothingness. This is primarily down to the sycophants who supposedly ask questions but have yet to raise one challenging query as long as I can remember. Questions such as, you said several times this season and repeated it after the Wrexham game there were four or five players not playing to the script, are these the same players who have repeatedly failed to listen on countless occasions this season and who are they, why do you persist in letting Little take the free kicks when the only person, apparently on his wavelength is himself. the list of questions is endless. So good luck with your query Fred.

Christmas????
It's not even f**king November! :}

I see Luke Young came on for the last couple of minutes for Wrexham. Is he on his way back from injury, or have his performances dropped that much, since leaving us? Surely he is better than just a squad player.

Suggest it’s the former. He was their player of the year last year I think.

So I was sitting in the stand with the Wrexham fans behind all my fellow gulls fan. Can honestly say it was one of the most hostile atmospheres I have had as a fan for a long long time. From the first minute there were several really aggresive angry men. I was never going to let on I was a torquay fan as honestly didn't feel safe anyway. When we scored so much stuff was thrown and I did report one guy next to me to steward who chucked him out. I really hope Wrexham are punished as the behaviour was horrendous.

Football while has undoutedly improved over the years still has a long way to go. So many angry angry people attend games, it's just a game for gods sake. Don't think it is helped by players behaviour on pitch, some pundits (Roy Keane in particular) , fan channels who push the angry person to the front and peoples acceptance that is the way to act. Nearly every other sport doesn't have the behavior you see at football matches.

On the game it didn't exactly fill me with confidence for the rest of the season. 1st half was awful even if Wrexham weren't that wonderful themselves. In the 2nd half it was better but I can only think of 2 chances the entire match. It was just long ball and long throws and hope they pay off. Thought defending was decent and Mcdonald in goal I was always confident in. Definately a point gained though and lets hope we can win the next few matches against lower sides.

He's been injured. I think he was one of two Wrexham players to get injured in that aborted game against Aldershot.

Somewhat hilariously, the rearrangement of that game to Nov 9th means that it'll the third game of Paul Mullin's suspension. He'd scored in the game that never was!
