Squad11 Mar 2030

Umar Nawaz damages knee ligaments — 33 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 33 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match9 Mar 2030

No mercy from Wrexham

Sheffield United will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Wrexham were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings11 Mar 2030

Michael Parker, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.66

A mark of 7.66 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad11 Mar 2030

Tempers go at Wrexham

Michael Parker was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom11 Mar 2030

Wrexham still without a manager

10 days since the seat came open, a list of names doing the rounds, and nobody has signed anything. Every week this drags on the shortlist gets shorter.

The terraces11 Mar 2030

The crowd has taken to Jacob Render

At 21 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.

Squad11 Mar 2030

Words at Wrexham training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lewis O'Brien 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 ratings11 Mar 2030

Liberato Cacace was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.37. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Loan watch11 Mar 2030

Nobody is scoring past Ellery Balcombe at Crewe Alexandra

13 shut-outs in 39 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Ellery Balcombe has been having a lot of them.

Squad11 Feb 2030

Umar Nawaz damages knee ligaments — 65 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 65 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market11 Feb 2030

Wrexham say no — this time

The offer from Charlton Athletic for Kieffer Moore was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings11 Feb 2030

Liberato Cacace was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad11 Feb 2030

Sontje Hansen 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.

Transfer targets11 Feb 2030

Wrexham rebuffed over Rhian Brewster

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Everton have kept their man, and Wrexham go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match9 Feb 2030

Wrexham come up short against Bolton Wanderers

Bolton Wanderers left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings11 Feb 2030

The game went through Lewis O'Brien — 6.95

Marked 6.95 on 11 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Squad11 Feb 2030

Words at Wrexham training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lewis O'Brien 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.

The dugout11 Feb 2030

Sontje Hansen gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief
