I agree that we don't need 2 keepers. If Hak thinks they are equal, it then depends on how much we pay them. If Mersin is on considerably less, then well worth keeping. If they are on the same, I'd offload Mersin asap and use Harley Earle as backup for Hadler. If Hadler is on less than Mersin, then Mersin goes instantly as he is not worth more than Tom. Talk of Harley going out on loan

Are you serious ?
After leaking 9 goals in 2 matches, it increases the need for more keepers, not less.
How about playing all 3 together.

Firstly, I'm not a Mersin fan, but he didn't do a lot wrong in the last 2 games. Why the hell would we keep Harley Earle around at the moment with Mersin and Haddler in the squad. If we can loan Earle out, then do so asap. Let someone else pay his wages.

I think only one of us is serious !
Btw, I hear Mersin is suffering from back-ache at present and may need a rest.

Well, the highlights make painful watching. Shame about their second goal as their player only climbed over Ellul because his hands were on his shoulders. Mersin should have stopped the fourth, but given the Wrexham highlights don't show a single attack from us says a lot and we didn't seem able to compete anywhere on the pitch. So, what happens now? Before Saturday, it was reasonable to expect a win at home to Torquay and maybe a draw at Aldershot. Suspect it is more about performance than points at the moment, though doubt if the shockwaves in the dressing room will be anything like as bad as the angst from some of the fans. We get over it and go again. If we lose the next four by playing badly, then it will be time to worry.

"If they're selected" "If I get my way, I'll have some new players by next week" Thanks Hak, good attitude imo. In Hak we trust. I agree with him. He is rightly disgusted by the ineptitude at Wrexham in a team which seemed to have learned nothing from the lesson in life in the National League that Dorking gave them. Time to wake up and learn some survival techniques so as to not lose games. Might nor be pretty, but we need to find a way to stay in this league a few seasons and grow into it.

In fairness, I think the supporters base has been pretty moderate in its reaction after a couple of performances where we have leaked goals like a sieve. Last season we defended all over the pitch, in the last couple of matches we have simply not competed 100% for long periods. The worst feature is that we have not had 11 players battling and working consistently hard throughout the past 2 matches. That is Hak's minimum expectation and its not happening. Its not fair to say supporters should moderate their expectations. Any more moderation and we are headed back to the nls.

No one is panicking, no one is saying 'Hak out' (utterly absurd to even suggest that), we all hope/expect the team to rally and do well against Torquay and Aldershot.
But, we are fans, and when you watch your team deservedly win promotion with a combination of skill and never-say-die determination, and then, after two promising games, they collapse and ship 9 goals in two games, you are entitled to get a little pissed off.
Why is anyone surprised about this?

Just watched the highlights, boy that looked bad should have come with a ⚠️ not to watch. Soccer is a sport win some lose some but that looked embarrassing. On the goalkeeper situation 30 secs in and indecision already there, back pass or kick it out! Some of the goalkeeping was very dodgy and one man doesn't make a team but it is the start of the team! How do we get over this? Well Hak has to earn his money this week. Back to basics, don't conceed don't lose. Could be boring but 9 goals against is not good. A few important games coming up so let's hope for some improvement, seriously couldn't get much worse, so let's try to support at all times and hope this was a blip.

A little stat for you:
We have already conceded 29% of last season's goals against.

I'm just not going to say "I told you so", but never for a moment did I think Mersin would last more than a few matches. Stats don't lie ! No let off for the outfield players. They were shocking.

I think Hadler will be back on Saturday but you have to be kidding yourself that conceding nine goals is all about the goalkeeper.
