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
I’m absolutely thrilled that Notts County are joining us in the EFL next season. Quite apart from the massive injustice of recording the second-highest points total in the history of league football in Britain and still not going up, I wouldn’t wish upon anybody the frustration Wrexham have been carrying round since 2012. That was the year we compiled a phenomenal 98 points. Until this … Continue reading County Get What They Deserve
Last week we took advantage of the dispensation granted to us in the Summer, allowing us to sign players outside the transfer window. And what a statement signing it was! Andy Cannon’s loan spell at Stockport last season was an important part of their success in the title battle, and The Hatters wanted to make the move permanent. Now he’s with us, and bringing a … Continue reading Cannon Adds to Wrexham’s Class
My son told me about the FIFA ruling which lifted our adherence to transfer windows this season by saying it was as big as when we signed Mullin. Continue reading “Big As Signing Mullin”: FIFA give Wrexham a huge boost
Can Wrexham still win the title? We still believe, but circumstances have pushed that belief further into the realms of hope than we’d like. This has been an incredible season, and since the fixtures were announced we knew it was all leading up to this epic encounter with ancient rivals Stockport County. What we didn’t realise at the time was that a quirk in the … Continue reading Keeping The Dream Alive
We’ve got quite a conclusion to the season on our hands, and the good news is that we control our own fate. However, although they say take one game at a time, I can’t help but look forward to the last game of the season, and suspect the form of our opponents leading up to that match will be almost as important as our own … Continue reading Come On You Daggers – Up To A Point
Last Saturday was an interesting glimpse into the evolution of the 3-5-2 Dean Keates has reverted to. There were some interesting alterations, some forced to an extent by injury, which made the new formation look more fluent than it had done previously. The combination of Adi Yussuf and Jordan Ponticelli up front was a revelation. This was the first time they started together in the … Continue reading 3-5-2 Starts To Add Up
Mark Griffiths looks back at another disappointing first half performance. Continue reading PODCAST | Stockport County 2 Wrexham 0
Wrexham and Yeovil Town are ships that pass in the night. Their ascent to the Football League coincided with our descent to the National League. Our paths have crossed once, in the FA Cup, but they were more of an iceberg than a boat! In November 2003, Denis Smith took his side south for a first round FA Cup match, on a run of bad … Continue reading PREVIEW | Wrexham AFC v Yeovil Town
