Great result-now let’s get back to business!

It’s odd to feel we’re still bottom after a fighting win at Chester like today’s! I suppose it shows that the Chester game is something separate from reality. As I’ve suggested before, it’s a game which feels different from the others, a game where the usual rules of engagement don’t apply. Thankfully it fell in our favour and even if there is a sense of the Chester derby being unlike any other league game, those three points feel real enough to me!

We rode our luck as Gavin Ward’s…

Here’s a sign of how unsettled Wrexham have been over the last couple of years; in the last four games against Chester we’ve used thirty-five different players! With plenty more in line to make their derby debuts tomorrow, the figure could look even more remarkable in twenty-four hours time.

Not sure what to make of tomorrow’s referee. Andy D’urso certainly has plenty of experience, but Premiership refs tend to act like buffoons when they slum it with us.

On the positice side, the last time he reffed us was for a huge away derby win as we sought to evade relegation to the Conference; last season’s 1-0 win at Shrewsbury.
