Stan The Fan: Saunders must deliver - or else!

Our new columnist Stan The Fan has his say on the week's burning issues...

DEAN SAUNDERS had admitted himself that this is a season where he and his team must perform - or else!!!

Geoff Moss’ loyalty to Wrexham’s ex-Liverpool striker must be applauded but how many times have Wrexham followed a brilliant result with an embarrassingly horrible one.

A 3-0 defeat at Forest Green Rovers, who shouldn’t have been in the Conference this season and are firm favourites not to be in it the next time around, is not the result Reds’ fans wanted or expected!

In no way am I suggesting drastic measures at The Racecourse but why are Wrexham so good at being the kings of consistent inconsistency?

The fans have been asking these questions for years but unfortunately they’ve been getting the same good game/bad game response from Saunders and his ever-changing playing personnel.

The positive for Wrexham is that they’ve got a game at Eastbourne on Saturday to prove that Tuesday night at The New Lawn was a blip, a one-off!

Eastbourne may have other ideas and the Reds’ fans who are making a weekend of it down on the south coast, watch out for striker Richard Pacquette.

The former QPR man was rated as one of the best young strikers in London 10 years ago. He’s fallen off the map in recent times but maybe this is the season he rediscovers himself.

That happens to so many footballers, especially outside the glamour of the Premier League.

The cash that is being thrown around is ludicrous when you consider the country’s gripped by recession.

It didn’t do Manchester City much good as they were blown apart by Spurs. And further down the footballing spectrum, Neath came a cropper too as they were beaten by Nev Powell’s Bangor City.

Powell’s done a tremendous job at Farrar Road. He wins the Welsh Cup every year and maybe in the new-look Welsh Premier League set-up, Bangor could be the ones to oust The New Saints and Llanelli.

Anyway, I’m going to test your football knowledge and see if you can beat me in Stan the Fan’s Top Ten predictions.

Arsenal 4, Blackpool 2

Everton 4, Wolves 0

Wigan 1, Chelsea 3

Fulham 1, Manchester Utd 1

Cardiff 2, Doncaster 2

Norwich 3, Swansea 1

Eastbourne 1, Wrexham 1

Buckley 1, Gap Connah’s Quay 2

Carmarthen 2, Airbus 2

Christleton 1, Ellesmere Port 1

    I reckon Stan is Geoff Moss. After all, The Leader only prints what Geoff says they can about the club,and never allow you to comment on any of the 'controversial' stories about the (alledged) misdoings of recent former 'employees'

    Saunders Out! Go now,at least give us some hope for the season to come.....

    Why has every comment been removed concerning the Mine Rescue Centre demolition? And the facility to add comments removed. Would it be due to the advertising space Mr Dickens takes up in the Leader I wonder?

    Because the Leader is in Dicken's and Mo$$'s pocket. If you criticise either of them, watch your comments get removed. Thats why the rag has such falling sales. Also, notice when there is a story that should invite comment,like when Ratout was being 'questioned' for possibly crimes,you can't comment! No freedom of speech here.....

    re Kidderminster shocker. Whether you want Saunders in, want Saunders out, do the hoki koki and shake it all about....you do not boo whilst the team are playing! You should boo and hiss at the final whistle.
