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.

In brief
