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.

Match

Wrexham through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Harrogate Town, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Estêvão

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

Player ratings

Jay Rodriguez, 37, rolls back the years — 7.82

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.82 at 37, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Match

Whatever happens, Wrexham do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Tempers go at Wrexham

Josh Windass 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.

Squad

Callum Maycock gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Callum Maycock has just signed for Wrexham, and for once the answer mattered.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Elliot Lee

Marked 8.13 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Adam Forshaw 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Dominic Hyam

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

Market

Modou Faal puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Wrexham, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Wrexham turn down GIF Sundsvall for Modou Faal

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Nathan Broadhead 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.

Market

Danny Ward moves on

Notts County pay $340.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

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.

Player ratings

Davis Keillor-Dunn runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Josh Windass was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.03. 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.

Match

Honours even between Wrexham and Watford

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Josh Windass finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Wrexham have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
