Where did it all go wrong?
So, what do we have to do to convince Carl Darlington to take the job? Because frankly, I left Blundell Park wanting to see a lot more of the same! There was an uncomfortable feeling all season that Wrexham’s squad could be doing a lot better if better decisions had been made from the bench, not to mention a notion that there was no coincidence … Continue reading Where did it all go wrong?

Wrexham Must Beware The Bear
Two home games in a week, two very different experiences. Against Altrincham there was a failure to respond to the unusual circumstances of the match. This is, to an extent, understandable of course. We know how to react to every day problems but an unexpected crisis will throw you: that’s why I know what to do when the fuse blows in my front room but … Continue reading Wrexham Must Beware The Bear

Altrincham 2 Wrexham 1 – FA Youth Cup
Well, the FA Youth Cup run is over, but it was fun while it lasted. Naturally the focus is always on the first team, but a club like Wrexham desperately needs to keep producing young talent, both to maintain a flow of players for our squad and to create a revenue stream. It’s always poignant to see a young player leave us for bigger things … Continue reading Altrincham 2 Wrexham 1 – FA Youth Cup

Time To Savour A Rapidly-Maturing Cheese
Adrian Cieslewicz has only started our last two games this season yet he looks as likely a catalyst for a push into the play-offs as we’ve got. Whether that illustrates that you have to be patient as young players develops, or just shows how desperate we are for a bit of attacking spark is a moot point. There’s no doubt that the pace of Cieslewicz … Continue reading Time To Savour A Rapidly-Maturing Cheese
>Tactical Strikes
> I’m really looking forward to this afternoon’s game, despite the fact that we’re the two dullest teams in The Conference-fewer goals are scored in ours and Altrincham’s games than anyone else’s-and the only goal in our two games last month came completely out of the blue. Both those matches saw an interesting tactical battle of wits break out between the managers, and encouragingly Dean … Continue reading >Tactical Strikes
