The Wrexham Wreader

Damn, O’Hare cannot catch a break in that box. #wxmafc #askwxm

(Sigh) The back line giveth, the back line taketh away. #wxmafc #askwxm

Well. That’s one way for Worrall to establish himself ahead of Vyner! #askwxm #wcmafc

Very exciting lineup today. I think FotMob’s formation guess is probably right: Phil’s going with a two striker system, leaving O’Hare as a lone no. 10. I like this a lot. O’Hare seems to benefit from having the freedom of the pitch and the wingbacks can feed Smith/Moore nicely. #wxmafc #askwxm

We need two more center backs named Doyle. Vyner allows the equalizer in eerily similar fashion to the last match, Hyam fails to keep pace with his man to prevent what’s currently the winner. After such a screamer of a goal from Moore, this is disappointing - even if we equalize. #wxmafc #askwxm

*phew*: Doyle is back in the starting XI. #askwxm #wxmafc

Rathbone gets his revenge! Should be a double for the birthday boy, but we’ll certainly take this one. VAR - never there when you want it, am I right? #askwxm #wxmafc

Now Windass goes off with an early injury. Let’s turn this around, Reds! #askwxm #wxmafc

We all saw that goal coming a mile away, right? What were Vyner and Hyam thinking? #askwxm #wxmafc

Youngster Sammy Chesworth earns a spot on the bench…but where is Doyle? #askwxm #wxmafc

September was a tough month for Wrexham, but as new stars emerge on the wings, the Dragons seem poised to take flight in October. Get ready for the month ahead with my September recap, match notes, and a preview of our packed October. #askwxm #wxmafc

HUGE late goal gives Wrexham a much needed win! It was an own goal, and a messy one, but Ekomie deserves the lions share of the credit. We weren’t the stronger team by any stretch, but our moments of quality were top quality. Still, the Saints will feel robbed. #askwxm #wxmafc

Look out! A healthy Sheaf appears! It’s a bit more of an ‘expected’ lineup this week, but I’m a little surprised to see Vyner still in there after last week. I also thought there’d be a CHANCE we saw Ward get a start. Hopefully Patterson finds his groove today. #askwxm #wxmafc

Not sure what the tiebreaker is, but Transfermrkt ranks this as our second-worst defeat. Ever. Ahead of the weekend matches, we drop to 16th with a -4 GD. #wxmafc #askwxm

In case you’re wondering, our last 6-0 defeat was to Bournemouth in 2004. #wxmafc #askwxm

How soon can we recall Okonkwo? #askwxm #wxmafc

Might as well give Aaron James some minutes at this point. #wxmafc #askwxm

There’s bad corners and then there’s corners that lead to an opposing goal. Yowza we look lost out there tonight. It’s turning into a bloodbath now. Let’s get one back at least, lads. #wxmafc #askwxm

My feelings on that corner defense. #wxmafc #askwxm

The first goal was a really well-worked effort from West Ham. This one? Bit of a gimme from Wrexham, despite the debatable offside. #wxmafc #askwxm

Well...I wasn't expecting this. Quite the lineup change for today's big clash with West Ham: Dobson returns out of nowhere, Worrall replaces Hyam after his lackluster performance on Tuesday, Smith gets the nod over Moore, and Aaron James pops up on the bench. Buckle up, Reds! #wxmafc #askwxm

Unlucky to miss the winner on a few occasions, but all in all? I’d say this is a draw that feels like a win against the undefeated league leaders. #askwxm #wxmafc

Phil strengthened the squad considerably before the transfer window closed yesterday, but it also meant bidding adieu to a Wrexham legend: Elliot Lee. My August and transfer window recaps, match notes, and September preview are in the latest Wrexham Wreader. #askwxm #wxmafc

Enormous news morning. Kabore is back on a permanent deal! Ekomie will provide much-needed left-wingback depth, likely challenging Cacace for the starting nod. #wxmafc #askwxm

Notable around the table at halftime: Charlton leads West Ham, with Okonkwo starting in goal. Brunt starts for Bolton with our old pal Sam Dalby leading their line. Portsmouth and Millwall both notched 3-goal wins. #wxmafc #askwxm

Thomason gets a head wrap after visibly bleeding following a collision with Traore. Now visibly bleeding through it, but playing on for the moment. Let’s hope he’s alright, but wouldn’t be shocked if he’s swapped at halftime as a precaution. #wxmafc #askwxm

Imray just barely hits the wrong side of the post to miss out on a second. Currently has the most touches in the Watford box. #wxmafc #askwxm

Imray with a heads up effort in the box. Moore’s cross was intended for O’Brien, I think, but the it came behind him and Danny picked up the pieces beautifully. He really has looked right at home since joining, hasn’t he? #wxmafc #askwxm

A quality cross met by a better header send us down 0-1 just before the 15’ mark. #askwxm #wxmafc

Whiteman enters the squad for Matty James as the only change from matchday 1. #wxmafc #askwxm

Okonkwo loaned to Charlton. Really didn’t expect a loan — interested to see how this shakes out.

Barnett loaned to Dons

Dobson, known transfer candidate, blows the match with the second to last action of the game. 1-1 the final from what might as well have been a penalty. Terrible end to an electric derby, but I would still say Wrexham were the stronger side. We start the season in 13th. #askwxm #wxmafc

Moore was about two inches away from giving us a second goal. #wxmafc #askwxm

Danny Imray, of the Tozer school of throw-ins. #askwxm #wxmaf.

Excellent strike from Moore to put us on the board early! Imray with the long assist. #askwxm #wxmafc

Meet the new #1. Patterson signing is official. #askwxm #wxmafc

👀 #wxmafc #askwxm

Wrexham’s Carabao Cup campaign comes to an early end. It was always a strong possibility when we drew Boro, but still a disappointing result. Not that we were terribly outplayed. All in all a fairly even contest to raise the curtain on the season. FT: MID 1-0 WXM #wxmafc #askwxm

Boro go ahead on one hell of a goal from Lankshear on his debut for the hosts. Can’t even be too mad about it. That was a great hit. #wxmafc #askwxm

As I thought, Phil’s rolling out the full first team today. Of note: - Ward chosen over Okonkwo - Vyner over Cleworth - Cacace not in the squad #wxmafc #askwxm
