A knee injury of the worst kind for Max Purvis
14 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Wrexham lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

George Thomason turns Shrewsbury Town down
“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Age has not caught Kieffer Moore yet — 8.08

Wrexham see off Sheffield Wednesday

14 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.
