WREXHAM V COLCHESTER UNITED
I blame that reptilian half wit Lou Ferrigno look alike Alex Hamilton for my recent out of synch sleeping patterns I really do!

Most people probably go to bed at a reasonable time but I can't remember the last time I went to bed before 12.00. Probably while I was working at Sainsbury's in a "seasonal" capacity, Wrexham speak for "shite job prospects".

Mind you it would help to have a regular job to get up for to help get out of this mad routine I am currently in.

Wrexham played a football match last night. Or footer in old speak. It's all about opinions and this was a classic "six pointer". A win for Wrexham (Wresham in Zaragoza) would mean giving themselves a slight chance of avoiding relegation while also giving Colchester a bit of a scare themselves and dragging them slightly into the relegation threatened area of League One.

Sadly for Wrexham's dwindling band of supporters Wrexham didn't win this "must win" match yet in my opinion for them to be able to field a team of 11 fit professionals for this fixture could be classed as an achievement.

Denis Smith must go down as one of the most positive men in football, he's battled a 10 point deduction, lost half of his already threadbare squad and now a flu virus has laid low a few others. He hasn't had the plague of locusts just yet but at the moment he is a quote writers dream.

So I say to any half wits who will now slag Wrexham off and say they are going down.

"Go and **** off and support someone else!".

So there.

We aren't Manchester United or Arsenal or Liverpool, you just have to assume in a 46 game season that it's likely we are going to lose between 10 - 20 games most seasons.

Okay it's a bit extreme but lets be fair here, Wrexham have been dealt a shit hand this season and without wallowing in to much Rossettesque self pity as Denis Smith wouldn't have it, it will be really against the odds if we can manage to survive in this division. This will be the greatest of great escapes if Denis can rally the troops for a 12 game push to stay up. Surely though the most important item on the agenda for everyone is Wrexham FC surviving in some shape next season whatever league we are in. It's a mantra being parrotted by many of us on the Internet and rightly so.

We'll still be here in some shape or form whatever happens, if your Wrexham Till You Die then you'll fight for the club whatever league it's in, you can't just switch it off.

The match was a bit dire though to be fair. I can't remember much about the first half, to tell you the truth I can't remember a lot about many home games this season as I've been trying to divert my eyes away from the pitch it's been a bit depressing in all honesty. Ugarte wasn't playing, Roberts wasn't playing, Darren Ferguson looked as if he wasn't playing and Mark Jones was at least having a go to create something.

As soon as something happens though it livens a few cut outs up I suppose.
Mark Jones scored one of the luckiest goals I can remember (for once the luck was on our side this season) and Hector Sam equalised a typically shite opposition goal (patented every bleeding season) with a header with 10 minutes to go to give us some hope that we will win this game and start climbing out of trouble.

But it didn't happen and to be honest we didn't really deserve to win, we didn't play well enough to win. Colchester weren't a bad side but they weren't a great side either. These are teams we need to beat and to be honest with our full strength team on the pitch we probably would have beaten them. But that's life and no point moping about it, I believe it's best to try and ignore the doom mongerers and keep at it. 12 games to go, if I had a crystal ball I would say Wrexham will probably go down. But I haven't and they might not!

The thing with football is there are many opinions but there are many supporters who just try and predict the future. I can't be doing with that, just take it one game at a time and try and enjoy what you can. It's not life or death losing a football match but if I lose my football club I won't be happy.
