I would like to see some involvement of Grant Hanley , his no nonsense defending could be an advantage against "wreck them".
Yokoyama on one wing and hopefully Wright on the other with Stanfield at number I0
 
A big game for Wrectum. Big test for our midfield if paik and iwata are out. Hoping we can keep our cool, as they tend to get aggressive. Especially if they are losing. Honestly, we can smash them into the ground like Welsh tentpegs. Just like last time. I might go 1-2 blues, but they could nick a draw.

That's a great shout, Klara, Davis and Hanley at the back. No one is getting through that. Yokoyama drawing tackles, and gets maclean sent off for a pit stop.

I’m still not sure about Yoko. Very similar to Laird with his inconsistency of final product pass wise. I do like the idea of Hanley and Wright, the former may allow for Beleik to fill the midfield gap, perhaps alongside Leonard.
 
I look forward to what CD will do. Even though we're not at full strength we still have strong alternatives. Any news on keshi? If he is back I'd have him in over Yokoyama. A much stronger option.
 
From memory Grant Hanley is a strong no nonsense defender also with an eye for goal, he may be a very good option tomorrow against this lot who like to get crosses in and charge the goalie...typical league one stuff. maybe him in a back three with Klara and Davies, I'd stick with Laird and Cochrane same midfield as Exeter game with Stanno May and Scott Wright to start, Yoko, Keshi and Beilik to come on as and when. COME ON YOU BLUES!

From what I have read Keshi will not be ready for this game.
In saying that though, bear in mind what I read is from pundits and what do they really know?

Not the best start. Rathbone opens the scoring for Wrexham ☹️

I’m not sure we’re into this game yet.

First league game I missed today. Caught a few moments of the audio but couldn't watch it. Look forward to the highlights, but it seems we did well to get the draw. Happy to take points off them.
 
Definitely squeaky bum time in the 2nd half. Quite a few said we were playing against 12 men though.
