The parallels with the Man City match are obvious: down to ten men for a dumb sending-off to a moneybags club and conceding two injury-time goals for a famous victory that will be replayed endlessly across the media.
I checked and the City match had five minutes of injury time.
How can a professional football club concede two goals in four minutes of injury time? Surely you run down the clock? Keep possession. Keep it in the opposition half. Waste time.
A draw would have been gutting but it happens and on the second half performance was a fair result. But to concede again was pathetic. We literally handed Hollywood FC the money shot they wanted. [Post edited 25 Jan 10:19]

Fair points well made,
I tend to be biased towards players who give their all for the team, hence staunch defender of both Dykes & Dunne who at times were the scape-goats for our support,
I tend to be critical (overly) of players who seem to play within themselves, hence giving up on Andre Dozzell in that Qtr Back role following a pre-season game at Wimbledon,
That 'quarter-back' role is pivotal in modern football, hence championing Chair to drop into the middle to be our Barry Bannan,
Madsen proved he can play that role very well in the 1st Half yesterday,
Lots of things went awry in that 2nd Half yesterday, including Wrexham's change of shape, our inability to freshen it up soon enough (eg Vale likewise seemed to disappear) etc
But that complete dis-connect between our defence and offence really stood out between the 45th & 80th minute,
Like the last 4 minutes, our Senior Players on the pitch have enough experience to see whats going wrong, speak to each other & fix it. |
Yes as I say I agreed with an awful lot of your OP.
Apologies for the stroppiness . I haven’t recovered 😀 |  | | |

Haha, all good, yes it was too soon as we're all a bit raw still,
Plenty of positives yesterday & with so many injuries & limited options on the bench, we were excellent in the 1st Half, hopefully we put two good halves together for our next game...checks fixtures (omg) | | | |

Which would be great if football matches lasted 45 minutes. |  |

Could and should have had Edwards on in the 82 changes.
Said this a bit lately but you can't really be constantly talking about fatigue, fixture congestion, injuries, and then not using a full set of five subs as often as Stephan is.
Was it last week we only made three, and two of those on 86 mins? |
Big call to take Cook at that stage though. I can’t see who else he could have changed for Edwards….Field, Hayden and Madson were on in CM, Kolli and Benni just on, and on the wings…..so its Kone or Madson, which would have removed any ambition to attack. Had they got one back and we draw 2-2 everyone would have complained that we were inviting them onto us.
If it’s Cook, you’d be worried about the physical battle given the size of their team.
I completely agree on previous games, but he made four subs yesterday and sensible times.
We could have managed the final 8 mins far better and those senior players needed to push out from the box far better.
We also didn’t stick anyone at RB, Hayden could have gone there and brought Madson, Field and Benni back to the middle.
If you re-watch the highlights it was Kolli defending the RB spot from their corners and left with a 2 v 1.
Dunne, Cook, Field & Hayden needed to get together and get everyone in the right place to see out that game.
In around 500 game I can’t recall seeing such a change in 5 mins. They could have scored 4 or 5 times. Was like the Alamo…..absolutely insane. I was at Man City for the Aguerooooo goal and that wasn’t even that bad…. | | | |

I think you mean the 82nd minute or you've not read the post properly about subs |
Yes, I meant when Field came on he could have used Edwards as well. And yes, guilty as charged, I didn't read all the posts in the thread before submitting my post.
Stephan did not utilise the subs well and it is ridiculous to blame losses on fatigue when not making use of 5 subs in a match. | | | |
