Player ratings

Nobody could get near Davis Keillor-Dunn

Successful dribbles: 37. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

8 unbeaten for Wrexham

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Wrexham did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Josh Windass in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wrexham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Wrexham training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Callum Doyle is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Callum Doyle was immovable

19 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad

No hiding place for Zak Vyner

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Zak Vyner, and the manager let it.

Squad

13 new faces, and Wrexham are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Issa Kaboré

A mark of 7.49, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Match

Wrexham and Norwich City cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Norwich City came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Davis Keillor-Dunn

Successful dribbles: 33. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ben Sheaf in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wrexham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Wrexham counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Wrexham now.

Squad

Callum Doyle falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Callum Doyle

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

Reading join the queue for Dan Scarr

Add another name to the list: Reading have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Dan Scarr. The answer from Wrexham has not changed — yet.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Bailey Cadamarteri

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Callum Doyle takes the honours

Marked 7.31 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Wrexham had the best player on the pitch.

Squad

“I want to play”: Bailey Cadamarteri speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.
