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…

- Clutching At Straws - Last Saturday reminded me of an epic match in our not so distant past, and as I started researching the column I was surprised to find that the two games were played on the same date. Coincidentally, our match against Dagenham and Redbridge on Easter Monday took place exactly eighteen years after a titanic clash with Colchester United. The two games shared a lot of similarities. In March 1990 we were adrift at the bottom of the table, staring The Conference in the face. We were desperate for… Read Clutching At Straws at Marks Wrexham FC Blog ...
- 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 ...

- Oh great! - There was a post on Red Passion after we played at Peterborough earlier this month which made a very good point. As Darren Ferguson made his rather pathetic attack on us, there was a danger that some of the mud would stick. We weren’t a voilent bunch of thugs, Steve Evans certainly didn’t taking a running jump and butt their goalkeeper, who of course was able to play just three days later despite the suggestion that he was fatally wounded after the game, and we played much more good football… Read Oh great! at Marks Wrexham FC Blog ...
- Borough Better Than You Think - No Wrexham fan expects us to swan into the Conference and sweep everything before us-two years of awful football have taught us not to have grand aspirations! Ironically, the 5-0 beating of the pre-season title favourites last Saturday has only reinforced that sense of respect for the Blue Square Premier. Stevenage might have defended poorly, but their approach play was superior to virtually anything we saw in League Two last season. Their commitment to keeping the ball on the floor was… Read Borough Better Than You Think 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 ...
- Mike’s Day to Remember! - It was difficult not to feel a bit sorry for Mike Williams last Saturday! Dean Saunders’ great line about not having to pay the concussed defender his winnings after their side-bet on him scoring got the headlines, but it must be pretty frustrating to score the first goal of your career and not remember it afterwards. I’ll have to find out if he remembers now. Maybe he won’t want to though, as I felt for him when it went in. He’d just scored his first ever goal, but everyone ran over to… Read Mike’s Day to Remember! at Marks...

- Spirit Wins The Day - As I’ve coughed up for a share of Myfc, I suppose I was bound to be satisfied with the result however it went yesterday! Ebbsfleet certainly played the better football, something which is happening too often this season for my liking, but apart from Long’s delivery from corners, which was terrific, the final ball wasn’t as good as the excellent approach play. In fact according to my notes from commentary the only two chances which didn’t come from set pieces were down to glaring defensive… Read Spirit Wins The Day at Marks Wrexham FC Blog ...
