We’ve got quite a conclusion to the season on our hands, and the good news is that we control our own fate. However, although they say take one game at a time, I can’t help but look forward to the last game of the season, and suspect the form of our opponents leading up to that match will be almost as important as our own … Continue reading Come On You Daggers – Up To A Point
In November 1955, a packed Racecourse hosted the most notorious game in its long history. On Tuesday, behind closed doors, we staged a remake. The pitch-side altercation between Wrexham and Eastleigh in midweek was remarkable. It certainly wasn’t the clichéd “handbags” that sexist commentators like to describe with a blithe lack of awareness. It brought back memories of that brutal Welsh international, played 66 years … Continue reading The Battle of Eastleigh
Dean Keates has often spoken of the importance of developing an unbeaten run, and as he won multiple promotions during his playing career, he should know what’s required. In a season which has seen clubs around the world struggle to find consistency in remarkable conditions, we seem to have settled into something approaching consistency. If it’s not a flash in the pan, we might just … Continue reading Slow and Steady Wins This Race
Jay Harris’ 450th career league appearance. Shaun Pearson’s 125th game for Wrexham. Eastleigh’s 16 fans is the smallest away support at The Racecourse in 176 games, since Braintree brought 14 fans in September 2013. Wrexham are unbeaten in 9 league games against Eastleigh. Wrexham have kept six clean sheets in their last 9 games. Last time Wrexham failed to score in consecutive home games: January … Continue reading #WxmAnorak | Wrexham AFC 0 Eastleigh 0
It might only be a temporary fix, but Dean Keates has squeezed some crucial points out of our recent fixtures with a change of formation. Playing three at the back has allowed Keates a level of flexibility when it comes to his attacking approach, and the ten goals we’ve scored in the six games we’ve played with that system suggested we were profiting from that … Continue reading The Back Three: Dean’s Flexible Friend
It was a scary Christmas for Wrexham fans, so let’s hope we’ve got a Happy New Year coming up as compensation. January is already looking like a make-or-break point as we look to correct the issues which leave deep in trouble. One of the major problems which we face is our awful away form. We have the worst away form in the whole division and … Continue reading Scary Christmas (War’s Not Over)
Things got historically bad for us last Saturday, but this is a time for cool heads. We need to get out of this mess, and if we look at the situation rationally, the most likely route to salvation is pretty obvious. The mood has partially lifted after Tuesday, and that cathartic revenge win over Eastleigh. To end our long wait for an away win, and … Continue reading The Road To Safety

We’ve grown used to some pretty amateurish nonsense since dropping down to the National League. In many ways it’s cowboy country: a lack of regulation brings certain freedoms, but much more gallingly, scope for clubs to go rogue and show no consideration for fans or opponents. How odd that it’s happening again to us, but this time it’s a Champions League club that’s the culprit. … Continue reading Please Can You Tell Us When & Where We’re Playing?
