I’ve got to admit, that promotion rather crept up on me! I was so focussed on wanting us to get the job done against Forest Green that I didn’t really pay much attention to the possibility of us actually getting promoted last Saturday. Three points would leave us in a position where we were virtually assured of promotion; every conceivable result involving both us and … Continue reading Bring On League One!
So what’s changed in the last week? Well, not that much: everyone stuttered except for Stockport County, who weren’t impressive but managed to nick a win against AFC Wimbledon. Of course, the timing of the Easter Monday fixtures probably made us feel worse than everyone else: having seen our rivals stumble, we had a chance to really take a grip on the promotion race, but … Continue reading Welcome to the Run-In: Part 2
Does anyone actually want to be promoted from League Two this year? The remarkably erratic form of…well, just about everyone makes the final stretch of the season incredibly difficult to predict. Wrexham, of course, are as culpable as anyone else in the race. We’re putting in the sort of performances which suggest we’re hitting great form at just the right point, and then following them … Continue reading After you, Claude.
Click the image to zoom in. It’s crunch time! Realistically, the top 6 are the only sides left in contention for an automatic promotion spot: 7th-placed Gillingham would only get to 75 points if they won all their remaining matches. So who’s got the best chance of going straight up and avoiding all that play-off nonsense? It all kicks off today, even though we don’t … Continue reading Welcome to the Run-in

Feeling down after last weekend? Worried that history’s repeating itself? Fear not! You’ll feel better when you learn to embrace the flaky nature of all the other promotion contenders. Welcome to the League of Bottlers! Last Tuesday’s results illustrated just how incapable any of the sides at the top of the table are of striking out and winning this darned league. Someone will do it, … Continue reading Hope Springs Eternal In The League of Bottlers!
If we ever needed a strong mentality, it’s today. Last Tuesday’s defeat was a spectacular blow. It wasn’t just that we lost: it was the devastating manner in which we collapsed. Amazingly, as we kicked off we hadn’t let in a goal at home in the first half of a match all season. Indeed, we hadn’t conceded a home goal in open play before the … Continue reading Time To Roll Our Sleeves Up
It came out of nowhere, but Curtis Tilt’s move to Forest Green, or at least somewhere, soon, was inevitable. Its timing might not be ideal, but for a deal we could hardly stop, it’ll turn out to be a good one for Wrexham. First things first: there was little the club could logically do except accept the offer. A piece of brinkmanship by Forest Green, … Continue reading The Departure of Curtis Tilt: Short Term Problem, Long Term Solution
Here’s my column from last week’s Leader. It forms part of the paper’s comprehensive pre-match coverage every Friday, featuring interviews, an in-depth look at the opposition and lots of statistical analysis. All content in the column (c) http://www.leaderlive.co.uk. It’s time to head back down to Devon again tomorrow, and hopefully this time the weather will mean it’s not a long, fruitless journey! Of course we … Continue reading PREVIEW: Torquay United v Wrexham AFC
Wrexham need to get back to winning ways in the league after seeing their interest in the FA Cup end so disappointingly last Saturday. The defeat to Gainsborough Trinity ended a run of seven unbeaten cup ties at The Racecourse, and that last defeat was to a Football League club: Oxford United beat us 2-1 in December 2013 in the FA Cup despite Joe Clarke … Continue reading PREVIEW: Wrexham AFC v Barrow AFC
