I’ve got to admit, that promotion rather crept up on me! I was so focussed on wanting us to get the job done against Forest Green that I didn’t really pay much attention to the possibility of us actually getting promoted last Saturday. Three points would leave us in a position where we were virtually assured of promotion; every conceivable result involving both us and … Continue reading Bring On League One!
So what’s changed in the last week? Well, not that much: everyone stuttered except for Stockport County, who weren’t impressive but managed to nick a win against AFC Wimbledon. Of course, the timing of the Easter Monday fixtures probably made us feel worse than everyone else: having seen our rivals stumble, we had a chance to really take a grip on the promotion race, but … Continue reading Welcome to the Run-In: Part 2
Does anyone actually want to be promoted from League Two this year? The remarkably erratic form of…well, just about everyone makes the final stretch of the season incredibly difficult to predict. Wrexham, of course, are as culpable as anyone else in the race. We’re putting in the sort of performances which suggest we’re hitting great form at just the right point, and then following them … Continue reading After you, Claude.
Click the image to zoom in. It’s crunch time! Realistically, the top 6 are the only sides left in contention for an automatic promotion spot: 7th-placed Gillingham would only get to 75 points if they won all their remaining matches. So who’s got the best chance of going straight up and avoiding all that play-off nonsense? It all kicks off today, even though we don’t … Continue reading Welcome to the Run-in
As the tenth goal of the match went in and the fans erupted into their now regular joyful celebration of the remarkable, for some reason I looked down at the other end of the pitch. There was Ben Foster, wheeling away in celebration, running a delighted circle on his own. Isolation is the lot of the goalkeeper, but there was something particularly poignant in his … Continue reading Ben Foster’s Last Gleaming
There’s a lot of in-depth quality in the Wrexham squad, and that was illustrated spectacularly on Tuesday. Cup upsets is in our blood, of course, and we added another higher division scalp in memorable fashion. It left Phil Parkinson with a lovely conundrum. Despite those enviable options across all positions, he must have had a rough idea of his first eleven, and it will have … Continue reading How Deep Is Your Squad?

It’s here again! That crazy, addictive white-knuckle ride begins once more, despite it feeling like only yesterday that we were going crazy after the Boreham Wood win. Phil Parkinson has had the luxury of not needing to scramble around in the transfer market to rebuild his team, although the two players he has brought in – Will Boyle and James McClean – each represent a … Continue reading THE BIG PREVIEW | Wrexham AFC v MK Dons
We’re back! After 15 long years we finally take a first step back in the Football League, and thanks to the remarkable renaissance the club has enjoyed, we take it with confidence. Fans usually clamour for summer signings, but our lack of transfer market activity hasn’t been a sign of stagnation. Instead, it’s proof that Phil Parkinson’s long term planning been a terrific success. His … Continue reading Let’s Do This!
I can’t deny that the unorthodox nature of our pre-season did cause me a little concern. Then I read Richard Sutcliffe’s remarkable article in The Athletic on the level of detail which was devoted to supporting the players’ well-being and I felt remarkably reassured. The architect of Wrexham’s preparation for our first trans-continental adventure is Kevin Mulholland. When he was appointed as our Head of … Continue reading MK Dons Can’t Combat Wrexham’s Secret Weapon
> http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wimbledon/7406486.stm So Drewe Broughton is looking for a new club! I’ll stick my head above the parapet and say I’m one of the minority-I’d have him back! Not that I think that’s on the agenda-Brian Little clearly wantsw as clean a slate as possible, and only the youngsters are going to be given a second chance in general. I’d be happy to see Broughton … Continue reading >Drewe’s Back on the Market
> Always be wary of internet rumours, but I’ve heard a strong hint from MK Dons that Drewe Broughton will be signing until the end of the season with the intention to stay longer-I would assume depending on the outcome of the relegation struggle! I hope that’s true as losing him would be a huge blow. At last we have someone with the ability to … Continue reading >Broughton To Stay?
>I can’t help noticing that Hereford called tonight’s match off at roughly the same time as MK Dons called off our afternoon kick-off last Saturday. Nice to see a club that treats us with a bit of respect. Continue reading >Interesting Timing
