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?
First time Wrexham have scored six since December 2012 (Nuneaton Town 6-1). Wrexham’s biggest win over Stockport County (previously 6-2 FA Cup 3rd Round 1979). Wes York was the first Wrexham player to provide three assists in a match since Kevin Thornton at Sutton in January 2013. Wrexham’s 3rd consecutive home win over Stockport, equalling their best run of home victories over The Hatters. In … Continue reading THE WRAP: Wrexham FC v Stockport County

If this is how our season’s going to pan out, it’ll be entertaining. It might not end successfully, but it’ll be great fun! This match was a microcosm of our season so far: we look so full of goals, but clean sheets will be few and far between unless we improve defensively. It was tremendously enjoyable fare; if we play like this all season we … Continue reading Wrexham 2 Macclesfield Town 2

Frasier Crane defines a perfect meal as “a great meal with one little flaw to pick at”. This game felt a bit like that: it was satisfying, but with an intriguing question lingering over the post-match debate. The question, quite simply, is whether we ought to win a game like that by a larger margin. There can be no doubt that everything else stacked up … Continue reading Wrexham 1 Nuneaton Town 0
Positives: A win to get over last Tuesday. Elliot Durrell’s best Wrexham performance. Louis Moult’s quality finish. Theo Bailey-Jones, Joe Clarke and Blaine Hudson all received online criticism for their performances against Gateshead; they all responded with strong showings. A first clean sheet since the Chester derby. The back four, which has come under criticism in the opening two games, looked very solid: Andy Coughlin … Continue reading The Balance Sheet: Wrexham v Nuneaton Town

Depending on your perspective, we either have very little history with Nuneaton, or a surprising amount considering the distance which has been between us for most of … Continue reading Preview: Wrexham FC v Nuneaton Town
Is it me, or does our squad look thin? There’s has been a very different emphasis in the transfer market this summer to anything we’ve ever seen at Wrexham before – I’m going to stop short of saying our parameters have changed fundamentally until I’ve seen the fruits of our Summer labours – and as a result our squad looks rather unfamiliar. My desire to … Continue reading Extreme Slimming
