What a miss by Downs though!!!

[Smirking_Saint]

Great assist that from Downs

[benjii]

VAR is all over that in the PL 😆

Give him a new contract!

And another one after that, Jack Stephens forever!

[Saint86]

Superb by manning, and all credit to Stephens for following that up at the back post.

[Number9]

COYR!!

Sign of champions.

Duck all you Stephen's haters.  Ducking bricks.

Well done Jack....you've played very, very well.

[RedArmy]

Give him another 3 years.

Is this quite a cathartic result? 

Stephens gets the winner.

Great save by bazunu at 1-0.

And they come back from a goal down late on to win.

[St. Ciervo]

Manning Man of the Match.

[Raging Bull]

Did someone say Gav and Jack? 

[miserableoldgit]

So......Gav brilliant save, followed almost immediately by a goal by Ryan Manning and a winner by Captain Shoehorn. "Villains" did OK today!

What a finish

[Chez]

Joy....fucking joy.

[moonraker]

Game saving save from Baz and winner from Jack, not bad for two players who should not be here

[obelisk]

The come back kings.

Downs looked offside to me.

What an ending. Blimey.

He hasn’t but credit for the goal

[hypochondriac]

Bazunu and Stephens won us that. Take a bow lads. 

[Oldandtired]

After playing like that and still getting a win we are up again this season for sure....😎

Fantastic save from Bazunu, he's earned us the points today.

Posted this as a joke at 1-0 down but fair fucking play. 1 game in and 3 points earned which can be attributed to him (obviously in part).

[moonraker]

To win that with that referee was brilliant.

[LiberalCommunist]

Fucking love the Championship. Oh and you can keep var, even on ref displays like that.

In line or behind wasn't he? And someone on the line anyway I think.

Don’t forget Manning 

[Saint Scott]

That. Bazunu. Save!

Redemption 

[Crab Lungs]

Can I just say. Moments…This is well deserved, despite being turgid all game. Wrexham offered nothing. 

If Bazunu didn’t make that save, done. Manning free kick gave us momentum… but to win it in dramatic style, it completely sets the tone now. It wipes away alot of the bad energy. 

our season could have gone either way on that Bazunu save and Manning goal.

[SWLondon Saint]

FUCK YEAH ALL CAPS TIME!!!! 

[SNSUN]

Fucking hell I watch the whole game until 70 minutes when my shift finished, get on the Tube and by the time I'm back to my car we've only bloody won it.

I'll take a bog standard 3 points any day but work to be done.

 

Welcome to the Championship Wrexham. 

[St. Ciervo]

I will be reminding Saint_Clark about that fingertip save by Baz for the rest of the season. 

[Chez]

Thought Charles and Fraser were very good. Robinson faded a bit, but looks a good player. 

[hypochondriac]

Manning great as well. Interesting to see the maligned players stepping up. 

[imadirtyurchin]

I’m eating humble pie. 
 

props to jack and baz. 
 

Good result in the end. But the performance highlighted all of the deficiencies in the team. Don’t move the ball quick enough or have any quality in the 10s.

COYR

[sockeye]

Feels good to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!!!

- Quarshie class

- Fraser still got it

- Robinson excited to see develop

- Capt. Jack already paying the contract back

- Bazunu great saves

Crack on. If you end up reminding me about that save it probably won't prove your point as there obviously won't have been anything else to go on about 😂

As someone who's never rated him, full credit to him for that. Honourable mention to Stephens getting back for that 1 on 1 as well.

Played crap for the majority of the game and won, will take that.

[RedArmy]

Oh fucking hell please tell me Still doesn’t do that stupid fist bumping nonsense after a win. 

[SWLondon Saint]

Hollywood on our side, Baz and Cap'n Jack redemption arc stories. Unbelievable 🎬📽️

[LordHester]

Baz and Stephens instrumental in a win. Let the meltdown begin!

[Sunglasses Ron]

I think I’ve felt more life and passion for football in those last 10 minutes than I did the whole of last season.

Well done boys, deserved win in my book and a tough banana skin avoided!

[ChristopheVAFC]

Congratulations, my friends, on a fine home win this afternoon!

Allez Southampton ! ❤️🤍
