The circumstances .... magical no doubt .... Wrexham magical as a club? .... nah no really :na na:

Monetised rather than magical, though credit to any long term Wrexham fan and am sure they are enjoying things these last few years.

You just hope it’s not a one season wonder and he can replicate this form, don’t think he’s had a prolific season before this or even close to it

I'm with you on this one, for me Dalby has been their best player and a really good option up front, well worth enquiring about imo

Was anonymous at ER.

I'm the same whenever I've seen him I've thought hes looked really poor, bad touch and zero pace. Even in games when not against Hibs. Had a great goals record though.

Give me proper footballers every day of the week.

2 goals, I think, since February and does little else.

Would be a waste of a signing, Big Myk much better especially in terms of output when not scoring goals.

I agree with the sentiment but pragmatically that is a blind way to build a squad. Who knows what we will come up against in Europe and if Myko doesn't re-sign we will need a target man to give us that option when it's 1-1 going into the last 15 minutes on a tattie field in Chisinau.

Remember Sam Cosgrove, and van Veen - and Shankland....

One season wonders all of them.

We can and will sign far better, Fletcher for instance would be a better option.

Dalby is very poor and his early to mid season form doesn’t change that for me.

How is Fletcher a better option exactly?

Gayle confirmed he’s retiring

Not surprising but confirms another out that will need replaced

Be interesting if we go down the older and experienced route with quality again

Better in the air, scores goals, technically very good and all round better footballer even despite his age.

He also covers homegrown quotas allowing us to bring in even better players elsewhere in the squad than overpaying for Dalby.

Wanting a ‘battering ram’ up top in Moldova is all well and good but not one who can’t control a ball. Not that European football really allows for such tactics nowadays.

Yup would be straight in there, still a quality player and brings European experience.

No bid for Alfarela from Hibs or POAK. The team he was on loan at Athens Kallithea have just been relegated so are no longer an option for him.

Yep, never spotted the sticker, looks like the year option then.

Like the temperature on the "Boyler" - 98.

Two more tomorrow would be nice.
