Tomorrow is Dean Keates’ hundredth game as Wrexham manager. He’s the sixteenth person to reach that milestone, and boasts the fifth best league loss percentage in our history. Keates is only the second person to have two spells as our boss, and is enjoying considerably more success than the other one. Billy Morris was in the Racecourse hot seat twice in the early 1960s, but … Continue reading PREVIEW | Wrexham AFC v Torquay United
As it’s the Champions League Final today, here’s a few reminders of when Wrexham made their mark in Europe. Continue reading Wrexham in Europe
Our recent from against Torquay is solid, with five wins and just two defeats in our last twelve clashes. We won the last two times The Gulls travelled to North Wales. Last season we trailled at the break in our first home game of the season, but goals from Dom Vose, Connor Jennings and James Grey sealed a 3-1 win. Six months earlier we beat … Continue reading PREVIEW: Wrexham AFC v Torquay United
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. Let’s get the unpleasantness out of the way first. Defeat tomorrow would mean we’d have lost five games on the bounce, and you have to go back … Continue reading PREVIEW: Wrexham AFC v Torquay United

Meredith Belbin is an academic who has researched teamwork and produced a widely recognised model describing how people behave in teams. The model helps in understanding what is needed for a team to work. Our football team isn’t working well, what are the reasons? Are our backroom team working well? Is that affecting team performance? Can Belbin’s model tell us anything? I went to the … Continue reading Role Reversal

They … Continue reading Preview: Torquay United v Wrexham FC
I’ve been watching “The Honourable Woman” lately, and it fits squarely into the BBC’s portfolio of critically-praised drama which is over-written and therefore a bit hard to follow. It’s a bit like Wrexham’s academy deal with Glyndwr: it seems good, but is quite difficult to understand. The positives underwrite the whole project: as I understand it, it isn’t costing us anything and all the players … Continue reading The Honourable Notion?
Astonishing events at Wrexham FC on Thursday when Kevin Wilkin took to the stage stating “For two years Matthew, I’m going to be Nigel Clough”. In probably the boldest move ever made by a Wrexham board the club is being transformed into a tribute club, with the exciting new name Wrarsenal Tigers FC and a smattering of talented people giving loving devotions to the biggest … Continue reading Nigel Cluff takes the helm at Wrarsenal Tigers
So Kevin Wilkin it is then! I’d love to make out I had some inside knowledge, but I must say that the board played their cards impressively close to their chests throughout this process. My attempts to put two and two together and assume Micky Mellon was the man after he left Barnsley yesterday merely taught me that speculation is never a wise idea!
