Steve’s blog makes an excellent point about fixture congestion, and I fear our improved form could make it even worse. After the first round of the F.A. Trophy there are no weekends set aside should we make further progress. The designated weekends seem to constantly clash with when we go down to the South East, so we could get a backlog of awkward games in the Home Counties to make up in midweek just when we’re trying to pick up some league momentum.
Having said that, there is a way to…

- Where Will The Backlog End? - The backlog of fixtures could cost us dear. We don’t even know whether it stops here-if there’s a bad winter we might have a number of other games to slot into the midweeks this season, and then there are international call-ups to consider; if the postponement of the Histon game is anything to go by we’ll get plenty of help from the Welsh F.A. to ensure we’ll not have to go into a game without our manager, so we could lose two more Saturday games. Of course, this will have a financial impact… Read Where Will The Backlog End?...
- The Maths Doesn’t Add Up! - Up to seventh with games in hand on just about everyone above us. Not bad considering the fact that, incredibly, we’ve played more away games AND fewer home games than anyone else in the league!!! Read The Maths Doesn’t Add Up! at Marks Wrexham FC Blog ...
- Fab Fact of the Day! - If you thought our fixtures were coming out rather peculiarly, don’t mention it to a Kettering fan tomorrow, because their recent pattern of games is ridiculous. Dean Saunders has been manager for ten games before tomorrow’s, and only three were at The Racecourse. However, tomorrow’s game is Kettering’s their 6th away game in a row, and before that run they played 6 consecutive games at home! Read Fab Fact of the Day! at Marks Wrexham FC Blog ...
- Fixture Backlog Could Return To Haunt Us - It looks like we could lose another game on November 18th, as our home match with Forest Green Rovers coincides with the Welsh Semi-Professional side’s game with Finland in Llanelli. Confirmation is expected this week, but with three of our players expected to be called up-and I believe Silvio might also be called up that week-we’re looking at another postponement. With the favoured, November date for a rearrangement of the Histon game already ruled out for that game, there’s a real danger… Read Fixture Backlog Could Return To Haunt Us at Marks Wrexham FC Blog ...
- D-Day - Well, this is it! About to set off for a game that could well leave us out of the Football League to all intents and purposes. Mansfield’s home form is abysmal and they’ll have a capacity of less than 5,000 to try to roar them on, but then we’ve played teams in this sort of form before and generously played them into form-remember Dagenham? At least in the last two games we’ve been creating chances, and at barnet we even started taking them! Sadly, we also defended as poorly as we have… Read D-Day at Marks Wrexham FC Blog...

- Dull Trophy Draw - How frustrating that the F.A. Trophy draw, quite apart from the fact that it sends us south for another awkward tie against lower division opposition (Dean Saunders record against sides in a lower league: W0 D1 L2!) is that it didn’t pair lots of Conference together. If we get through to the last sixteen and there are no shocks there’ll only be two non-Blue Square Premier sides left in it. Let’s hope there’s lots of surprises in the next round-apart from wherever we’re going! Read Dull Trophy Draw at Marks Wrexham FC Blog ...
- Four in Four - Can Michael Proctor save us? Hopefully his scoring form can continue-the last Wrexham player to score in four consecutive games for us was Mark Jones at the start of last season. The constant impression Proctor gves is that he’s something of a mercurial player. In and out of games and, as the season progresses, in and out of form. However, there’s always a sense that he’ll turn up with something-he’s perhaps the one player we have who is likely to come up with the unexpected, the decisive. The… Read Four in Four at Marks Wrexham FC Blog ...
- Deep Breath… - This time last week if you’d offered me four points out of nine over this key run of home games I’d have been a little disappointed. Right now I’d jump at the prospect! There hasn’t been a bigger game at The Racecourse since the Boston showdown, and we need a win. It wouldn’t take us off the bottom of the table, but we can’t allow that big gap between us and safety to remain for much longer; it brings with it a real danger of it growing every time we don’t win a game. And we’re up against… Read...
