This season hasn’t been fun. If we don’t improve our league position tomorrow, we’ll end up in the second lowest final position in our history. Defeat would leave us with … Continue reading Grounds For Optimism

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

For the opening quarter of the game, Wrexham’s game plan worked a treat, then a salvo of three goals turned everything on its head and the second half saw Gary Mills’ team dominate possession without looking penetrative. So how did this state of affairs come to pass? First … Continue reading TACTICAL REPORT: Bromley FC 3 Wrexham FC 1
