The cold, hard stats are remarkable. And yet they don’t begin to do justice to the contribution Manny Smith made to Wrexham over his five seasons at the club, or express the magnitude of our loss as we search for players to improve our position. To my eyes, in the last 15 years Wrexham have only had four genuinely reliable central defenders. Mark Creighton, Nat … Continue reading Manny Smith, Defender of the Faith

Last March we emerged from The New Lawn with a 0-0 draw despite having both Blaine Hudson and Connor … Continue reading PREVIEW: Forest Green Rovers v Wrexham AFC

Could it be that the great tactical philosopher Marilyn Monroe had Wrexham’s 2015-16 season in mind when she declared “a passing approach can be quite continental, but … Continue reading Diamonds Are a Fan’s Best Friend
So Blaine Hudson was subbed again on Saturday. To be withdrawn is unusual for a centre back; to be subbed three games in a row is highly irregular. Yet his performance at Southport marked a turning point for him, Sometimes there’s more to the story than the bare statistics imply. I can’t deny that he made a costly mistake at Halifax. I equally can’t deny … Continue reading Character in Defeat
Wrexham FC the flat track bullies of 2015! That’s my double edged accolade for the first half of this season. Giving us a dry pitch, a tactically inept opposition manager and a team low on confidence and we provided the stuffing for the turkeys before Christmas. Bad weather, a pressing team with determination, and some nous equalled an entirely different destination for the Saxo. Progress … Continue reading Half Season Review
