[Alty Dave]

Will be another interesting test tonight, I imagine it will be a strong line up. What does everyone else think? Will be there + 2

[Toff Apple]

Trying to get there, wrexham will be smarting after 2 poor away performances pre season.  I think we will have our starting 11 starting the game, if we go a lot behind i expect we will make lots of changes .  2-2 (I hope)

[Jezza]

I'M hoping we trounce 'em 4-1 ......c'mon alty!

[markecky2]

With this being their second to last friendly you would imagine they will play their first team.  As Toff says, they got a rocket for missing loads of chances v Nantwich.

This is a really tough test so I hope we would put out an initial idea of our starting lineup. 

Think a win is a bit much too ask (not that pre season results matter on paper with all the changes that go on)  but if we can play with what seems to be our new style then I think we may surprise them.

[Steve from Sale]

Agree with this Mark

[Mausoleum Alty]

No Lynch,Sheridan or Heathcote in the squad according to match day updates? No Hannigan either but obviously that goes without saying as he's permanently injured!

[robininstockport]

1 - 0 down ht.

Both teams getting it on the floor and playing. They are better at It, but not 2 divisions better

[MarpleAlty]

Johnston injured according to Instagram Live - anything serious?

[robininstockport]

He's sat with no ice on it and both shoes on

[oneedham]

Don't normally do friendly games and hard to judge players on one game.

I would like to see a fit Richman alongside Taylor and Moult. However probably get away with playing only two centre mids this season.

Will be great at some point to see an attacking line of Miller,Johnston and Poole.

We defo miss Miller, I hope that we can get him back fit and playing.

Positives

Harrison and Jones both composed centre backs with height. Very calm on the ball which was great to watch.

Taylor hardly put a foot wrong and was everywhere. He will be massive for us.

Poole is a very good player but will drift in and out of games. He will do more than Lawrie.

Johnston dangerous going forward.

Negatives

Thompson was terrible at kicking and made me feel nervous. I wasn't impressed but hoping it was an off day.

Johnston needs to learn how to track back and get tighter. He was at fault for the first goal.

Omtolola does not look great.

We didn't look like we were going to score which disappointed me after hearing how attacking we have looked in other games.

Hulme is surely only a number 9.

[Hale Alty]

I'm not concerned about losing 0-2 to an uncompromising Wrexham team who defended well and closed down everything. A lot those attacking moves will bring goals against Evo-Stik opposition.

[cheshire cat]

It was definitely encouraging tonight. Wrexham were the better side and their first goal followed a long period of pressure. We weren't able to clear our lines. I'm looking forward to Stafford. If we can hit the ground running it will be an enjoyable season.

I thought the ground looked smart. It's been dragged into the 21st century. Well done to whoever is responsible.

[robininstockport]

Good work out against what looked like a decent team (certainly much better than Chester), be interesting to see how they get on this season.

Hoping to see our strongest 11 start on Saturday

[Sale Holmfield]

Yes, a decent performance against very competent opposition. I think one of the main points for the remaining friendlies, which I will miss, is to make sure Jordan Hulme, who has had a late start, gets lots of game time.

Not quite sure how you could criticise Johnston for being at fault for the goal and not tracking back when he'd just been dumped on the floor by their fullback, for what should have been a free kick to us. The tackle on him leaving him with the injury that forced him off.
