Wrexham look the more likely now.

Sloppy stuff, Saints.

Matsuki needs a rest. As does Larin.

Saints continue to spurn good chances.

Free kick in JWP/Manning territory.

Just a couple of reminders there that Saints have in them to throw this game.

Just take a few chances and this could be a comfortable win.

Was their keeper outside the box when he punched that ball away?

Leo's been kicked out of the game. Seems to be a plan by opponents this season. Edozie on.

We'll likely have to up the speed of the walking football to something closer to a trot second half. Real problem is extreme wastefulness though. This is another game that Saints should be winning if they really want to challenge at the top of the table.

Azaz is the victim of an assault there. Ref does nothing.

Larin's having one of those days.

That clean sheet still a long way off.

Suckers!

Larin could have had a hat-trick.

Now Leo gets clobbered and the ref does nothing.

It's about time Saints scored. Had a number of good chances.

Dreadful tackle from the Wrexham player and the ref gives Larin a yellow. Ludicrous.

"Put up a fence" should have been the response from the EFL to moaning Gibbo right at the start. Don't mind Wrexham making the same point.

Didn't that amount to something like a 4 match ban?

I presume that the rushed mea culpa approach to the EFL's charges was designed to bring the overblown matter to a swift conclusion with a fine and a slap on the wrist. Trouble is the biased EFL kangaroo court had other ideas and served up the death penalty for what most of the football world sees as a trivial offence. I suspect that Solak has learned a very hard lesson that the blazers who run football cannot be trusted and will act accordingly.

An interesting read. It'll be valuable to learn whether a volley of racist insulting language, for instance, results in a greater or lesser penalty than an employee standing in a public area watching a training session.

Meanwhile the rest of the football world looks on and laughs at the ridiculous overreaction to a spot of scouting. Anything more than a suspended slap on the wrists and I'd hope Dragan drags the FA Man City/Chelsea style appeals for years to come.

4-1

Brilliant attack. 3-1
