Nathan Baxter hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Wrexham can pretend not to have heard.

Rio Kyerematen says Wrexham went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Wrexham to lose Sam Smith for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Sam Smith has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

A falling-out at Wrexham
Róbert Boženík and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Wrexham lose Lewis O'Brien
36 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

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.

Wrexham come up short against Preston
Preston left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The manager makes an example of Issa Kaboré
“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.

Peter Wood steps up from the Wrexham academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Peter Wood has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
