A fracture rules James Smith out for 34 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Wrexham will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Ramiro López 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.

Mohamed Baradji: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Wrexham have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Valentín Rodríguez wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Wrexham can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Osman Foyo 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.

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Interim Coach to a room that had heard them before.
