The headline fact about this season, of course, is that we came 17th in the fifth tier, therefore suffering the lowest league position in the club’s history. As you might imagine, that means that a lot of our figures this season are the worst since the campaign which saw us relegated to the Conference six years ago. We conceded more goals and lost more games … Continue reading A Statistical Review of Wrexham FC’s Season

Astonishing events at Wrexham FC on Thursday when Kevin Wilkin took to the stage stating “For two years Matthew, I’m going to be Nigel Clough”. In probably the boldest move ever made by a Wrexham board the club is being transformed into a tribute club, with the exciting new name Wrarsenal Tigers FC and a smattering of talented people giving loving devotions to the biggest … Continue reading Nigel Cluff takes the helm at Wrarsenal Tigers
You can’t really say we didn’t deserve to win this match: after all, the only chance we created apart from the own goal Grimsby scored for us was a flick-on from a long throw which was going wide but was fumbled by the keeper. But it was terribly harsh how the defeat came about, and probably said more for our depressed current state than anything … Continue reading Grimsby Town 3 Wrexham 1

Clashes with Kidderminster tend to be feisty affairs, and merely adds to the mix. the return of Adrian Cieslewicz We’ve been vulnerable to conceding goals by our ex-players … Continue reading Leader Preview: Wrexham FC v Kidderminster Harriers
It’s a shame to see that Edgar Davids won’t be coming to The Racecourse with Barnet (although we know that even if he was still their manager that would be no guarantee of him actually being at a game this far north!) Obviously, it’s a shame because it would be interesting to see an international legend in his twilight years. It’s also a shame because … Continue reading Edgar Davids, Alan Partridge and Me

I started this article thinking I had stumbled on to statistician gold and found the reason why Wrexham’s season has been so – dare I say average? During my visits to the Racecourse this season I have found myself urging the boys in red to “SHOOT” more often, often frustrated by plenty of pretty possession but a seeming unwillingness to go for goal. While I … Continue reading The Wrexham FC Season So Far in Stats – Is Middle of the Table about Right?
You could see how prepared the TV news channels are for the inevitable this month. When the one modern figure who will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with history’s greats died in Johannesburg, they were ready to run the hours of video tributes they’d salted away years ago in readiness for the sad event. I feel I ought to have been equally ready to report on today’s unfortunate … Continue reading The One Battle The Beast Couldn’t Win
Lisa Simpson: “Look on the bright side, Dad. Did you know that the Chinese use the same word for ‘crisis’ as they do for ‘opportunity?’” Homer Simpson: “Yes. ‘Crisitunity!’” Homer has it right. The fact that our options are limited this week might just turn out to be a good thing after all. Why bother rotating your squad for the “congested Christmas fixture list” (© Sky … Continue reading Crisitunity Knocks!

This was a fascinating match tactically (hence my urge to do a tactical report!) as Gainsborough caused problems by asking a question Wrexham haven’t had to answer for a long time: what do you do against a midfield diamond? Trinity manager Steve Housham’s inital intention wasn’t to play that way though. However, his starting formation, a 4-3-3, malfunctioned badly as Wrexham overwhelmed his side in … Continue reading Wrexham 3 Gainsborough Trinity 1 – Tactical Report
