Rhys and Liam return for this week's pod, with Andy dialling in live as our roving reporter direct from Philadelphia. Wrexham's US tour comes to a close with a 1-0 defeat to Sunderland, and the lads dig straight into what we learned from the final pre-season fixture. With Middlesbrough looming, are performances dipping at the wrong time, or is it just a pre-season blip? What's Inside This Episode? Philly Dispatches: Andy gives his direct boots-on-the-ground report following the 1-0 loss to Sunderland. Pre-Season Reality Check: After a strong start to the tour, has the momentum stalled? We debate the lack of pace, creativity, and whether this starting XI is ready for Middlesbrough. Debut Watch: What did we make of Danny Imray's first outing in a Wrexham shirt? Transfer Rumour Mill & Contract News Sam Smith signs a new contract - well earned? Midfield targets: Ben Whiteman expected from Preston & Jayson Molumby linked from West Brom. What would their arrival mean for George Dobson? Cameron Archer from Southampton rumours grow. Anthony Patterson in goal for Sunderland - does a move to the Racecourse still make sense? The Harry Souttar chatter won't go away.
