There's some good coverage out there, but it's not given the time that League One or Two get, let alone higher up. I think in the UK even overseas leagues get more attention but I do think it will start to change. The level is becoming very good, once Wrexham and ourselves are back in the Football League, it should make it fairer for other clubs. The BBC, Sky Sports and other outlets would probably be itchy to get a piece of it.

Liam makes a fair point about the Munto Finance season, many clubs absolutely hated Notts.

Many of the signings Notts made that season were free agents though, so I don't think Wrexham fans can truly compare us to them. The only thing that comes close is the £1million pound fee we agreed with Man City for Kasper Schmeichel which they never got and ultimately wavered in the end. They've been spending silly money on wages and transfer fees, which the FFP may come back to cause them trouble. Thankfully, we didn't have that trouble, but there are similarities for sure.

Tomorrow, for both teams, is a vital part of each of our seasons.

I really hope Bromley can prove themselves, everyone loves an underdog and them doing well would be worth the headlines. ????????

The way it's looking, the title race might end up being a bit of a damp squib after all.

The comparison to the Munto season is an interesting one, but the big difference is that in Wrexham's case the money really is there. So if they fail one season, they can just go at it again, plus they can build for the future. As exciting as it was, I'm relieved our fans don't wave tenners at away fans any more. Personally I found singing "this city is ours" while watching League Two football a bit cringe as well. As much as I dislike Wrexham's bandwagon jumpers, we weren't an awful lot better.

If we end up 2nd, which seems likely then we shouldn't be dispondent as we're a better team than the previous playoffs teams, L.W won't let the pressure get to the players hopefully, so I'm confident we'll have a great day at Wembley and say goodbye to this God-awful league once and for all. C'MON YOU PIES

Interesting comments in the post-match interview from the gaffer, saying that the title race is over. A bit of mind games I think. No way he really thinks that surely it’s about hopefully getting Wrexham to become complacent because they think we’re done this season now. I don’t think it’ll work but I’m for trying everything right now!

Wrexham have been relentless since we last played them so if they win it, you can't fault them. We have to win all of our last seven and hope that Wrexham either lose another one, or draw two, still possible but a big ask. My worry now is that the goal we conceded on Saturday reminds me a lot of Wrexham's current tactics and will definitely be deployed against us.

The road to victory seems to be paved for Wrexham from this point onwards. It appears highly unlikely that they will falter and allow Notts to overtake them in the race for the title. While I do anticipate Notts finishing the season just a point or two behind, I doubt we will be able to catch up to Wrexham.

Of course, if fate decides to play its cards, and we end up with an equal number of points, it could be a fortunate turn of events. However, luck of that magnitude seldom favours Notts.

Therefore, it seems that our best chance of securing a spot in the playoffs lies ahead. It's imperative that we start preparing for this eventuality from the moment the club acknowledges that the title is out of our grasp. We need to be focused, dedicated, and ready to navigate through the playoffs with all our might. Only then can we hope to achieve our desired outcome.

I think the manager is trying to get the players mentally prepared already, see his comments about the title race being over.

We're certainly underdogs now, but we do have a path still. We MUST win at Wrexham away (easier said than done). If we can then stay within three points of them up to the last day - when it's do or die and the nerves are jangling, and one rash decision can ruin your season - you never know.
