My battery is low but I thought we were the team trying to play football and deserved the point.

Magic moment from Rubin.

Voice totally gone but absolutely buzzing right now, feels like a win.

Much better in the 2nd half, although Wrexham could have had 6 if their chances went in. Moore's goal was taken very well. Rubin's goal was excellent, although I thought the keeper should have saved it. Scanlon looked like he was MOM.

Rubin is better in the 8 role than the 10, he runs with the ball well.

If Robertson is going to just pass sideways all game id go with Joel, Rubin and Moylan as the middle 3

Agree about Scanlon. Excellent. Perhaps silenced a few senior critics on the board? Rubin is mercurial. He'll be terrible next week but on his day, what a player!

Both brothers changed the game in my book, joe was more direct than Robertson's and rubin pushed it about with control.

It was a good goal, credit for that and the timing was excellent so a bit of extra pressure he dealt with well..however championship keepers should be stopping that shot I think. Let’s see where he goes from here he’s had flashes of brilliance before , I’d love it if it was his new normal standard. But I yet to be convinced let’s see after 15-20 games how’s he playing and then my mind could be changed (maybe lol)

Both brothers class and won us the goal. I know Rubin had only had two sessions, but we could have done with ten of fifteen minutes before, as we left it so late for them to make a real impact.
