If you’re a Wrexham fan you’ll have been brought up to believe a lot of “truths” about the club: we always lose on TV, and on artificial pitches; in the Good Old Days we always got five-figure crowds for home games; we don’t really want to go up (that’s a bizarrely persistent one!); and we always do badly against sides at the bottom of the … Continue reading Do Wrexham’s old players always score past us?
Two matches is a very small sample size so perhaps I should guard against getting carried away. However, our last two matches suggest that Jon Nolan has the capability to become that most rare of things – a successful loan signing. In fact, the current crop of loanees are shaping up quite well. James Caton looked sharp when he came on against Shrewsbury, and the … Continue reading Is Jon Nolan About to Break the Loan Jinx?
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. We face Aldershot tomorrow eagerly chasing early season points, but at least we can take comfort in the knowledge that our visitors from Hampshire have never relished … Continue reading PREVIEW: Wrexham FC v Aldershot Town
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?
There must be something in the air! Referees just love sending players off at The Racecourse! I don’t know why: perhaps the ground was built on the site of an ancient linesman burial ground. Perhaps referees just like showing off in a big stadium. Whisper it, but it might even be because Conference refs are shocking! But for whatever reason, those loveable little critters just … Continue reading PLACE YOUR BETS: Who gets sent off today?

Braintree’s progress in … Continue reading Braintree v Wrexham FC Preview
I like Kevin Wilkin. You know why? It’s not the exciting attacking options he’s brought into the club; it’s not that he’s a genuinely nice bloke; it’s not even the slight resemblance he bears to Gary Numan, whose early LPs played a key part in forming the morose personality of my teens. No, it’s the fact that he’s never satisfied. I first realised this on … Continue reading Our Kev’s Electric

We reacquaint ourselves with Torquay United tomorrow hoping to pick off where we left off as we’re currently enjoying our longest unbeaten run against The Gulls. They … Continue reading Preview: Torquay United v Wrexham FC
Positives Elliott Durrell scored! Andy Bishop scored! Dean Keates returned, lasted ninety minutes, and gave the midfield some authority. We made a side which have invested heavily and are aiming for promotion look rather pedestrian. Dan Bachmann’s domination of the penalty area. Mark Carrington’s polished return to the team. We actually took our chances when we were on top, unlike last Monday! Negatives Although not … Continue reading Balance Sheet: Wrexham v Eastleigh
Same again tomorrow please! Continue reading Dan Holman Owns Chester Last Season
