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?
Alex Taylor asked on #askwxm about penalties before the Dagenham game, as at that point we hadn’t had one this season. which was a stroke of genius, because he made it inevitable that we’d be awarded a penalty in that match! One for @m_griffiths92 #askwxm for Saturday’s game… what’s the longest we’ve gone without being awarded a penalty? We’re on for going the whole … Continue reading From Famine To Feast
After Sam Wedgbury’s rather unnecessary departure last Summer, it was important that we found a player capable of adding that non-stop energy to the centre of our midfield. Who knew that the right man was in our squad already? It’s good to see Paul Rutherford back in the squad again after his early season injury. Rutherford, after all, has always been the most solid and … Continue reading Paul Rutherford – Sam Ricketts’ Unexpected New Signing
Mike Fondop is seriously challenging my preconceptions. He arrived with a National League record of 7 goals in 31 games, having been with Guiseley, who finished rock bottom of the table last season. I wasn’t encouraged, but figured he’d be a decent back-up. When I realised he was our first choice centre forward, I was worried. That seemed a popular opinion at the time, but … Continue reading Fondop Struck
