Wrexham 2 Grimsby Town 2 Sat 14th April 2012

After Wrexham taking a point off Fleetwood on Easter Monday and then Fleetwood only managing another draw against York City on Friday night after being 2-0 down there was still a glimmer of hope that Wrexham could still win the title if they won the rest of their games ans Fleetwood lost all theirs, highly unlikely bit possible. A crowd of over 3,000 at The Racecourse watched a cracker of a match with Wrexham hitting the bar inside the first ten minutes before taking the lead halfway through the first half with an own goal from a corner and that's how it was at half time with Wrexham in total control and really could have been 3-4 goals up instead of just the one goal.
2nd half kicks off and looks like Wrexham have stayed behind in the changing rooms as its all Grimsby now and in the 63rd minute they deservedly equalise with a headed goal from a corner.
Ten minutes later Wrexham score a second through Chris Westwood and with just nine minutes left to hang on for a victory Wrexham concede a poor second goal with shot from the edge of the box by their substitute Andoij and that's how it finished 2-2 meaning Fleetwood now couldn't be caught and had won the league although Wrexham had taken 4 points off the big spenders.
Another great game for Glen Little though who was starting just his 2nd league game all season and I just don't understand why he hasn't played a lot more because this lad is quality and even got Man Of The Match. He may be getting on in terms of footballers years but still the best player on the pitch by a million miles, let's hope that Morrell now plays him in the play off's whoever we play.

Why I Would Play Cieslewicz Every Match

I know Cieslewicz is not everyone`s favourite player but out of the seven games we have lost this season, Cieslewicz has been on the bench five times.
He was quite regularly on the bench in 1st half of season often coming on in place of Morrell then in starting lie up v Grimsby and Wrexham won the game 3-1 on 24th September, dropped for next match v Mansfield which Wxm lost 3-1, on bench in 1-0 win v Ebbsfleet and then started against Gateshead which we won 4-1, full match v Hayes which we won 2-0,  full match v Stockport and won 4-0, full match v Luton and won 1-0, full game v Newport and drew 0-0, 89 mins v York before being subbed, and drew 0-0, sub v Lincoln but didnt come on and Wrexham won 2-0, came on in 70th min v Braintree and drew 0-0, 90 mins v Darlington and won 2-1, came on in 69th minute v Southport and scored in 78th minute to make it 2-0 and they won 2-0, Came on in 76th minute v Gateshead and Wrexham won 2-1.

The less said about this game the better as Wrexham were absolutely dreadful not managing a decent shot on target and got what they deserved from the game and that is nothing.
I fear we will not even get promoted via the play offs if Morrell insists on playing this same team with himself and Danny Wright up front because they just don't hurt the opposition as they have no pace and as for Steven Leslie in the middle of the park I have yet to meet a Wrexham fan who actually rates him.
Ever since we sold Obeng and dropped Cieslewicz to the bench then we have got no pace in the team and the opposition find it really easy to play against us.
Cieslewicz is not everyone's cup of tea but he scares defenders and nine times out of ten they usually end up with an early yellow card meaning they can't dive in rest of the game and we usually take advantage of this but at the moment we have no one in the team to cause the opposition any problems and unless Morrell changes it then
I fear we won't go up no matter who we play in the play offs.

Cambridge 1 Wrexham 1 Sat 31st March 2012

After a goalless first half it was Cambridge who came out all guns blazing and it wasn't longg before they took advantage of poor defending with their goalscorer running at Wrexham with them backing off and they give him enough room and time to shoot from the edge of the box for him to shoot home the first goal putting Cambridge 1-0 ahead.
With Wrexham now chasing the game they started leaving lots of gaps at the back and only for Mayebi it could well have been a lot more than 1-0 before Ogleby equalised for Wrexham in the 93rd minute to salvage a point which is not good enough as Fleetwood yet again won easily.
Must mention Glen Little though who came on as sub for Wrexham and showed his quality and just how good he is and he changed the way Wrexham were playing but he can't do it all by himself but if I was Morrell then he would be the first name on the team sheet every week.
Next up on Easter Friday is Alfreton at home at 3pm then the following Tuesday is potentially the biggest game in the Blue Square Premier with Wrexham travelling to Fleetwood with Wrexham having sold their ticket allocation of 700 already even though the match is being broadcast live on Premier Sports Tv. Fleetwood its gotta be said should really have allocated Wrexham another 1,000 tickets given their average home gates but obviously don't want more away fans than home fans at their hoem ground which for some strange reason is called Highbury and funnily enough they even play in red and white colours. Perhaps they think they are Arsenal

Wrexham 1 Forest Green 2 Sat 24th March 2012

After taking a well deserved lead through a Jake Speight penalty I was just waiting for a few more goals to boost our goal difference as there was only one team in it with Forest Green lacking any ideas of going forward. Before the first half ended Wrexham should have been awarded a second penalty but the referee who had already given one penalty bottled the decision big time and Wrexham went in at half time leading 1-0 and Fleetwood drawing 0-0 at home to Mansfield so at half time things were looking good.
Within a minute of the second half kicking off a great cross found Pogba 8 yards from goal with just the goalie to beat, but Pogba hit it first time with his left foot at what was basically an open goal but ballooned the ball miles over the bar when he really should have scored.
A few minutes later Jay Harris went off obviously injured and was replaced by a very ineffective Joe Clarke who probably had his worst game since he signed for Wrexham. Morrell then hit the bar from a header before disaster struck. Wrexham were awarded a throw-in halfway betweeen the dugout and the kop end and were just about to take it when the ref stopped it and made Wrexham wait a good 30 seconds as Forest Green were making a sub and even though it was clear the sub was not ready as the 4th official hadn't even put the board up, the ref made Wrexham wait and it cost us dearly as the throw in was taken and Forest Green got possession after a lack of concentration from the Wrexham lads and went down the other end and with their first shot on goal scored to make it 1-1 which stunned The Racecourse faithful followed by even worse in the 3rd minute of 4 minutes injury time Creighton was caught for pace and with Mayebi right on the edge of his 18 yard box with Creighton right by him somehow their striker got between the two of them and slotted the ball home from the edge of the box with only their 2nd shot of the game to totally stun everyone at The Racecourse including their own supporters, who not many made the trip but were celebrating wildly in the top of the Yale Stand and as Wrexham left the pitch losers Fleetwood had beat Mansfield 2-0 to open a 9 point gap at the top with Wrexham yet to play them at Highbury and two games in hand. The title now though is in Fleetwoods hands and not Wrexhams anymore.

Wrexham 2 Bath City 0 January 28th 2012

Wrexham having lost 1-0 in the week to Forest Green take on Bath City whilst hoping that Forest Green who were palying Fleetwood Town could also do them a favour and take a point from them which they couldn`t quite manage with Fleetwood equalising right on half time to make it 1-1 then scoring the winner in the 5th minute of injury time after the scoreboard at Wrexham had showed the score at 1-1 with most Wrexham fans cheering thinking it was the final result and not the latest score.
Anyway back to the Wrexham game and you really would find it hard to believe that Bath City were rock bottom as they played the most attractive football and ripped the Wrexham defence apart on some of their counter breaks. Bath obviously came here hoping to keep the score down playing five at the back, who Wrexham were finding it hard to break down but found the breakthrough in the 13th minute when a rn by Obeng on the right wing in front of  The Mold Road Stand attacking the empty kop who passed it to Speight on the edge of the box who held the ball up well then gave it back to Obeng who continued his run and with the goalkeeper to beat Obeng passed the ball into the keepers bottom right hand corner to give Wrexham an undeserved lead. It was still Bath who continued to create the better chances and Mayebi made two excellent saves during the first half to keep Wrexham 1-0 up going into the break but not before Jay Harris cleared the ball off the line when Mayebi came running out of his area trying to get to the ball before their striker only for Mayebi to miss the ball leaving an open goal but Jay Harris played a blinder by running to the goal line and clearing the ball off the line.
Second half was less than 3 minutes old when Wrexham were awarded a penalty and every Wrexham fan was hoping that Dean Keates would not take it having missed his last two penalties and luckily Speight was on the pitch who slotted the penalty home brilliantly putting it to the keepers left giving Wrexham a 2-0 lead. That was about it for the rest of the match because I found myself falling asleep once again so obviously nothing of any interest awoke me and now Wrexham have got a couple of weeks break which hopefully should give them chance to get their players fit again and it couldn`t have come at a better time.
Wrexham now lying 2nd and still looking good for promotion and also having signed Shrewsbury`s longest serving player Steven Leslie on Friday night who failed to get clearance to make it into yesterdays squad.

Wrexham 4 Kettering Town 1 Highlights 21st January 2012

After Wednesday`s extra time and penalty loss to Brighton another good crowd of over 4,000 turned up to witness what was one of the most boring matches I have seen for many a year and at one point during the 1st half I actually felt myself falling asleep as Kettering just had no interest in going forward but more interested in keeping the score down. Glen Little(my man of the match by a million miles) took a freekick on the corner of the 18 yard box, and somehow it just rolled along the floor and Morrell got a slight touch on it as it went through a pack of players who all missed it, and ended up in the back of the net.
The 2nd goal came in the second half with a cross and Creighton who was in the box stuck his leg out and hit the ball home for Wrexham`s 2nd goal. Kettering then had a man sent off for a 2nd yellow which if I am honest thought it was harsh but then a few minutes later Kettering broke away and scored an excellent goal to make it 2-1.
Glen Little making a rare start for Wrexham completely ran the show and Kettering just couldn`t get the ball of the veteran who showed just what a class player he is unlike Obi Anoura who came off the bench, managed to get caught offside several times and fouled the keeper when Glen Little`s free kick was destined for the top corner. He is not getting any better and its about time we released him and save on the wage bill because he is just dead wood and if we ever are desperate enough and need a striker to fill in as a replacement then obi is just not good enough. 
Jay Colbeck maing his debut for the first team came off the bench with about 20 minutes left and managed to help himself to two goals.

Wrexham 1 Brighton 1 aet 4-5 to Brighton on Penalties

In front of over 8,000 Wrexham fans Wrexham put on a superb display and were extremely unlucky to go out on penalties with Brighton getting a huge help from the referee who shoul had wore a Brighton shirt as he gave them absolutely everything.
Back to the start and Wrexham started really well with Danny Wright having the game of his life in a Wrexham shirt causing their defenders all sorts of problems and Wrexham were really taking the game to their Championship opponents, although when Brighton broke they did so with their left winger terrorising Neil Ashton at left back but they still couldn't get a shot at goal.
With about 25 minutes gone it was Danny Wright again going down the left wing in front of The Mold Road Stand playing towards The Eric Roberts Stand who did brilliantly to not only keep the ball in but to get past a couple of players and laid it off to Morrell on the edge of the box who placed the ball in the top right corner or top left if you are the keeperto send the superb Wrexham supporters into a frenzy because that was one hell of a goal,perhaps even better than the Mickey Thomas goal 20 years ago against Arsenal. Wrexham thoroughly deserved their lead going into the break. This was not their first choice strike partners as Speight and Pogba were both out injured.
It looked like we were going to win the match 1-0 as Brighton still hadn't managed a shot on target with less than 15 minutes to go but the referee was giving Brighton every decision going and awarded Brighton a free kick which was never a free kick which Brighton them took 15 yards from where it should have been taken leaving Wrexham defence out of position and with their first shot on target Brighton scored a hugely controversial equaliser. With less than a minute to go after Wrexham had fluffed several chances they had a superb chance to win it in normal time with the Brighton keeper tipping over a Wrexham header onto the bar and behind for a corner which led to a few shots before Brighton got the ball and broke away but the ref blew for extra time once Brighton had lost the ball.
Extra time and in the first minute Wrexham had a great chance to score but were twice denied by blocks from the defence and keeper
It was one way traffic in the first half of extra time and the Brighton keeper got down low to tip a superb header which everyone thought was in go round the post for a corner and the racecourse was buzzing by now as Wrexham had Brighton well and tru. ly on the racks.
JDanny Wright was stretchered off with a bad shoulder injury and was replaced by Glen Little who had a superb match.
Second half of extras time and it was still all Wrexham who misssed several great chances but then Brighton had a break away and Mayebi did brilliantly to save from a one on one situation.
Penalties it was AMD sub Dean Neared went first smashing it straight at the keeper who saved it and that proved costly as no one else missed a penalty.
The best team lost and no one can deny it.

Wrexham v Brighton Replay Sold Out

Next weeks Fa Cup replay at The Racecourse between Wrexham and Brighton has nearly sold out with only a few tickets left for the lower tier of The Eric Roberts Stand which will be the first time it has been open for a long time, certainly the first time this season. Brighton have had 1,000 tickets and Wrexham have got 8,000 tickets so with a 9,000 capacity full house behind the team let's hope that they put a good display on.
I find it strange that most Wrexham fans and or people living in the Wrexham area seem to think its a foregone conclusion that Wrexham will win and play Newcastle in the next round. Brighton are a championship team and beat top of the league Southampton 3-0 the match before they played Wrexham and for Wrexham to draw 1-1 at Brighton was a superb result but the hard work is still to be done. I just hope that the fans who usually stay away but come to the big games get behind the team if we go a goal or two down and not boo them but hopefully it won't come to that. The one thing that does my head in when these once a season supporters turn up is when they don't know any of their names and then start slagging them off after one bad pass,get behind the team or don't bother coming to the match.
Remember we are still massive underdogs so if we lose then it is expected though I will be gutted but please don't turn up thinking Wrexham are going to win the game easily just because we drew at Brighton. Yes they made 6 changes to the team from the game before but remember we were also missing a few influential key players, especially Pogba who if fit and selected will cause the Brighton defence a load of problems along with Danny Wright who has split The Racecourse faithful, half of them love him and half think he is useless but he puts himself about even though he looks tired after ten minutes.
I just hope that they put more people on the food stalls and in the bar at top of Mold Road Stand as I wait 15 minutes to get served when there are 4,000 there so with 9,000 I think I will have a bite to eat and drink before the match otherwise I may be regretting it when half time comes and there are queues which are not moving.

Wrexham Forced To Play Two Games At Same Time

Tomorrow will see several bus loads of supporters making the long journey to Brentford to cheer on the reds and hop to see them through to the third round of The Fa Cup for what seems a lifetime ago the last time we reached the 3rd round but Wrexham also have a match in The Welsh Cup at The Racecourse versus Airbus Uk who have refused to change the fixture meaning Wrexham will inevitably field a weakened side against Airbus with the strongest team rightfully playing against Brentford
I can`t believe that the Welsh Fa have not stepped in and sorted this fiasco out because this should never be allowed in this day and age. This is Wrexham`s firs game back in The Welsh Cup for a good few years so you would have though the The Welsh Fa would ave wanted to see a strong Wrexham team in the cup with Swansea and Cardiff refusing to enter the Welsh Cup after being invited to enter into it this season.
I just hope that Airbus are proud of themselves and if they ever need a favour from Wrexham in the future then Wrexham take the same stance as Airbus have done and do them no favours at all. All I hope is that The Welsh Fa dont fine Wrexham for fielding a weakened side which they have no choice in doing so with them also playing in The Fa Cup. Knowing the Welsh Fa I wouldn`t put anything past them.

Wrexham 2 Cambridge 1 Fa Cup Replay Tue 22nd November 2011

In a fairly even first Half it was Cambridge who had the best chance with thier striker less than Town yards out from goal, the ball was crossed Tom him and somehow it sort of rolled up his leg when it seemed impossible to mips.tv.
It wasn't until the introduction of Lee Fowler that Wrexham got on top and with a superb turn And ball to Obeng. on the wing who in turn crossed an inch perfect ball Corky Pogba to head in and exactly same cross gave Danny wright the same goal.
Cambridge pulled a goal back with 7 minutes left. but Wrexham well worth their place in the 2nd round of the Cars Cup

Wrexham. v. Lincoln City Saturday 19th November 2011

Half time at the Racecourse and Wrexham are winning 1-0 thanks to a brilliant goal from Pogba who went inside from the touchline and hit the ball from the edge Of the box, left footed which the keeper couldn't stop from going in at his near post.
Lincoln had plenty Of possession in the first 15 minutes but were never a real threat going forward and Mayebi didnt have a shot to save all through the match. Jay Harris was unlucky to see his shot Chirk the crossbar with the keeper in no mans land as the first half came to a close.
Wrexham were not helped by a referee who constantly chose to ignore the blatant shirt pulling and fouling of Wrexham players to the crowds dissapproval with the ref then surprising everyone when he overruled the linesman to award Wrexham a penalty for deliberate handball And Pogba stepped up and placed Ithell into the keepers right hand corner and Wrexham cruised the rerest of the match running out comdortable 2-0 winners with Pogba named MOM

Wrexham 0 Newport County 0 Saturday 22nd October 2011

Wrexham were held to a goalless draw at home to Newport who had the better chances throughout the match with a one on one in the opening minutes. Apart from a brief 20 minute spell Newport were not put under any constant pressure. The Newport keeper just wasted ttheime throughout the entire match ans the referee let him get away with i. The referee was blowing for every little thing in Newports favour but not Wrexhams. 0-0 probably a fair result.

Gateshead 1 Wrexham 4 Tuesday 4th October 2011

Sorry this report is a bit late but just been really busy. Anyway Wrexham went to top of the league Gateshead and won convincingly with a 4-1 away win and that was without their number one goalkeeper Chris Maxwell who is out injured and midfield playmaker Lee Fowler who is head ans shoulders above any other player in this league and I believe both these players will be joining Dean Saunders at Doncaster come the January transfer window. Anyway back to last nights match and Danny Wrightut Wrexham ahead after only 4 minutes which is how it stayed till anout 8 mins into the 2nd half when Wxm scored a second, not long after Creighton got the third before Gateshead pulled a goal back but Wrexham were not to be denied c Wxm were not to be denied and wrapped it up with a superbly taken penalty from Wrexhams captain Dean Keates.
With Cieslewicz on from the start I always feel Wrexham will win because even if he has a poor game which I have yet to witness the defenders are shit scared of Cieslewicz running at them and more often than not foul him which results in a yellow card so that defender needs to be careful for the rest of the match.

Wrexham 1 Ebbsfleet 0 Saturday 1st October 2011

Wrexham eventually won 1-0 with a controversial penalty in the 75th minute but the first 74 minutes were hardly anything to write home about except the fact that Wrexham were denied not one but two clear penalties and it wasn`t until the introduction of Pogba and Adrian Cieslewicz that Wrexham came to life. Cieslewicz had the beating of their players and after another run into the box he was tackled right by the touchline and seemed to make a meal of it and the referee awarded a penalty perhaps realising he had already made two mistakes by refusing certain penalties in the first half and then complete mayhem as Pogba picked up the ball ready to take the penalty then Speight tried to wrestle the ball from Pogba and then amazingly Dean Keates (Wrexham`s captain) ran from the halfway line and joined in the wrestle the ball away game and the crowd started booing really loudly and it was eventually Speight who put the ball down under a huge amount of pressure and promptly scored one of the best penalties you will ever see as he thumped it into the top right hand corner in front of the kop but it was a shocking moment and having heard Morrell`s interview saying if you are a striker then its good to want to score but that was not good and the lad was under immense pressure to score.
Lastly I would like to dismiss any rumours that Lee Fowler and Chris Maxwell have left for Doncaster. Maxwell was injured and so was Fowler and they were both at the game today.

Wrexham 1 Mansfield Town 3

Wrexham 1 Mansfield Town 3 Tue 27th Sep 2011

Andy Morrell's first home game in charge of Wrexham Fc ended in defest losing 3-1 in a game influenced by a series of shocking decisions by the ref. With less than a minute on the clock Wrexham were attacking inside Mansfield's penalty area the ref blew for a foul to Wrexham sbut unbelievably gave Wrexham an indirect free kick inside the box and not a penalty. The rest of the first half Mansfield's number 10 got away with murder and the ref did nothing but as soon as a Wrexham player committed a foul a yellow card was shown. Wrexham had a decent run of play creating some chances but just couldnt get that decisive shot on goal and around the 38th minute mark Mansfield had a free kick near the touchline about level with the 6 yard box which Maxwell at his near post should have made it his as it was going straight to him at chest height but the ball went straight in at the near post whixh Maxwell was totally at fault for. Maxwell's kicking during the first half was shocking and most of the balls he kicked went straight out and this had a diverse effect on the rest of the team as Mansfield got stronger during the last five minutes of the first half and were unlucjy not to go in two goals up when Wrexham's defence kept backing off and the Mansfield player had a shot from 30 yards that rattled the crossbar with no Wrexham player attempting to close him down. Just before half time the ref booked Jay Harris for handball even though he couldnt see as he was facing the players back but the linesman who had a perfect view didnt even raise his flag.
2nd half Lee Fowler went on a run and scored bottom corner from outside the box and suddenly it was game on but two minutes later Knight Peecival got sent off snd gave away a penalty for pulling their forward back and Mansfield scorrd the sppt kick so Wrexham now had it all to do sown to ten men and 2-1 down but this ironically this led to Wrexhams best passage of play and when Pogba wwnt on a run and crossed it for Speight who was less rrhan a yard out he amazingly put it over the bar. A few minutes later Wrexham denied a clear cut penalty but once again the ref done nothing and in first minute of added time Mansfield broke away and made it 31

Brian Carey                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Centre-back Brian Carey started his playing career at Manchester United
Brian Carey is set to end his 20-year association with Wrexham and follow former manager Dean Saunders to Championship side Doncaster Rovers.
Saunders wants his Wrexham number two, who first joined the Racecourse club on loan in 1991, to become his assistant at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Saunders ended his three-year reign as Wrexham boss on Friday when he replaced Sean O'Driscoll as Doncaster manager.
"I'll be bringing in Brian Carey hopefully," said Saunders.
"He was my assistant at Wrexham. I have to get the ship running the way I want it to be run."
Saunders has already employed his former Wrexham fitness coach Mal Purchase and hopes former Republic of Ireland international defender Carey will follow.
"I'm hoping it will be sorted in the next two days," said Saunders.
The 43-year-old former Wrexham captain, who had three loan spells at the club before joining permanently from Leicester in 1996, has been on the club's coaching staff since retiring from playing in July 2005.
Carey has twice taken charge of the North Wales team and even guided them to Football League survival on the final day of the 2007 season.
"It is an opportunity I don't think he can turn down," said Wrexham's temporary manager Andy Morrell.
"So he has gone to speak to them.
"Nothing has been finalised yet but I expect him not to be with Wrexham for too long. He'll be gone soon I'd have thought."
Saunders won his first game as Doncaster manager as the Championship's bottom side beat Crystal Palace 1-0 on Saturday.
Morrell now hopes to bring in an assistant to help him at Wrexham in his first managerial role.
"The question has been posed with Brian leaving," said Morrell.
"I've put a few names to them and we'll decide in the next day or two if someone can come and help me.
"Dean took our fitness guy as well so we're three pairs of hands down instead of one."
Wrexham coach Joey Jones, the former Wales and Liverpool defender, and former goalkeeper Michael Oakes are currently assisting Morrell.

WST's Wrexham FC takeover still on, but deadline won't be met

This is what The Daily Post has printed in today`s paper about the takeover of Wrexham Fc .

Wrexham FC's Racecourse Ground
Wrexham FC's Racecourse Ground
THE long-running takeover of Wrexham FC took another step forwards yesterday although tomorrow’s deadline will not be met.
The “sale and purchase” of the club has now “largely been agreed in principle” but there are still a few loose ends that need to be tidied up before the historic deal goes through.
Club owners Geoff Moss and Ian Roberts had wanted it completed by tomorrow and had said they may consider other bidders.
But yesterday the two sides issued a joint statement to clarify the position insisting it was still on.
It said: “Wrexham Football Club and Wrexham Supporters’ Trust are pleased to announce that the sale and purchase agreement (SPA) has largely been agreed in principle, subject to clarification of a small number of points, completion of due diligence and approval by the football authorities.
“The proposed takeover will not be completed by the suggested deadline of Thursday, September 15, as originally proposed by the owners.
“However, both parties would like to reassure supporters that the deal is still very much alive and that they are working as quickly as possible to complete the deal.
“Both parties have identified some small points of clarification, which will hopefully be resolved very soon in a face-to-face meeting.
“Following this meeting it is envisaged that the deal will be concluded and that the requirements of the football authorities will be met and ownership transferred to the WST.
“The owners and the Board of the WST have issued this joint statement as a signal of their intent to supporters and the manager, Dean Saunders to conclude this deal as soon as possible.
“This will then enable Dean, his players and the supporters to focus on winning promotion back to the Football League.”
Recently the WST was given a unanimous mandate by its members to go for the takeover, but it has been a painstakingly slow process.
The delays have also raised a question mark over who will pay players’ wages this month.
It is the responsibility of the current owners to pay the wages.
But after Mr Moss and Mr Roberts saying they would not put any more money into the club, that left players without any wages at the end of last month.
Fans raised thousands of pounds in a matter of days to tide the players over and get the season off to a winning start.


 WST Are A Disgrace

Has anyone noticed how all the threats aimed mainly at Geoff Moss have suddenly stopped with one of the main culprits who wanted to hang him were The WST. In fact The WST have gone very quiet on all fronts, they thought that buying the club would be the answer and thought that they had plenty of money to run it and in the process scared off one potential investor Mr Poole who is worth a small fortune but was never given the opportunity to invest his millios as he was branded a crook, just like everyone else who tried to get involved in buying Wrexham Football Club and whilst holding a private party in the grounds of his mansion several Wrexham supporters who got into the private party then handed out leaflets saying that Mr Poole was a crook and this didn`t go down well as you can imagine. Well several months later The WST are still dragging their feet over their takjeover of the club when if Mr Poole had been left alone, the club would have been sold a long time ago and to someone who has got lots of money unlike The WST who now having read just how much it takes to run the club and just how much Mr Moss has invested into the club, are stalling on the takeover trying to get as much money as possible into the club and also hoping that Wrexham continue doing well and getting good crowds.

I think The WST realise that when the summer comes around and there are no games and no income coming in that they just dont have the cash to pay the players wages throughout the summer.
Another thing that is of grat concern to me is that if The WST ever take charge of the club, then I presume Richard Harris, the supporters trust voice will run the club. How many other clubs has he run as big as Wrexham or is this the first time he has ran a football club.

Lastly if Saunders wants to bring in a new player due to injuries I feel that it will take a meeting to arrange a meeting to vote on whether the trust will let Saunders get the player and by the time all this happens we would have lost the player to another team.

I personally feel that this proposed takeover by The WST if it ever happens will be the worst thing that could happen to Wrexham Fc, as after all it was The WST who said to sell the ground to the university which is an absolute tragedy as we will never ever get that ground back now.

Wrexham 3 Tamworth 0 Highlights Tue 23rd August 2011

Wrexham 3 Tamworth 0 Tue 23rd August 2011

Sorry it`s a bit late but been busy in work. Another fine win for Wrexham over Tamworth eventually winning 3-0 with the first goal a beauty of an own goal, a cross by Obeng and the Tamworth keeper came out diving to catch it only for their defender to come flying in with a buller header straight into the back of the net. Morrelll hit the bar in the first half and Danny Wright found himself one on one with the keeper but failed to take the opportunity and so it was 1-0 Wrexham at the break.
2nd half and Obeng flew down the right wing in the firs minute and crossed a good ball which could easily have led to Wrexham`s second goal but it wasn`t to be then in the 77th minute Danny Wright held the ball up then laid it on for Tolley who scored his 2nd goal in two matches and then 5 minutes later susbtitute Cieslewicz ran with the ball and cut in and his curling shot went into the bottom far corner.
Wrexham had chances to get another two goals at least and if they had of scored then they would be top and not Gateshead who have scored more goals than Wrexham.

Trust Can`t Afford Saunders - Saunders On Way Out?

There are rumours inside The Racecourse that when the supporters trust eventually takes over Wrexham Fc that the first person to go will be Dean Saunders as the trust do not have the financial backing to be able to keep him. My personal feeling is the worst thing that can happen to Wrexham Fc is the trust buying the club, and after going through the books they realise this and now know just how much money Moss has put into the club out of his own pocket and that's why all the hate campaigns against Moss have died down because the trust realise they just don't have the money that Moss has invested into the club and if Moss can`t afford to run it, then the trust don`t stand a chance.

wrexham 1 Cambridge 1 Saturday 12th August 2011

Wrexham took the lead in the 17th minute through Andy Morrell and had a couple of other chances and went in at half time 1-0. Cambridge have started the second half much the better team and hit the bar with a long shot and should have had a penalty and at the moment Wrexham are hanging on and unless Saunders changes it soon Cambridge are going to score.
Cieslewicz came on for the ineffective Damny Weight and produced two superb runs but also had two great chances which he hit high over the bar.His second run from his own half got him to the edge of Cambridge p penalty area where he played a lovely ball to Speight who was having his shirt pulled and Speight took his shot but it was a certain penalty but the ref didn't give it and that would have sealed the match, instead Cambridge broke and had a shot from edge of the box with Wrexham s defence all over the place and it took a deflection off Knight Perceival and trickled into Wrexhams net deep into injury time. Wrexham then forced four corners on the bounce and went close several times and there was still time for Cieslewicz to waste another glorious chance by blasting the ball well over from inside the box.
All in all a fair result.
Todays attendance 4,230 which after all that's happened during the summer is very disappointing to say the least.
Wrexham play Bath away Tuesday night then are live on TV on Friday night away at Lincoln which will be a tough hand.

Two Hundred Per Cent - This is what they had to say on Wrexham`s Survival

It certainly went to the wire, of that much we can be certain. In fact, it could even be said that it went into extra-time. Eventually, however, the immediate future of Wrexham Football Club was secured by the only people in this particular story that have given every impression of being completely trustworthy from the very start – the fans themselves. This act of saving the club, though, required a level of fund-raising which proved beyond any reasonable doubt that if this club is to have anything like a prosperous future, it must come from those that banded together, cajoled and donated in order raise an extraordinary amount of money in an even more extraordinary amount of time to save it in its absolute hour of need.
Following the scheduled meeting of the Football Conference last Thursday, it quickly became apparent that the league itself was far from satisfied with the assurances given by those currently running the club, and the league demanded a that a bond or bank guarantee of £250,000 be lodged with them by the end of the following money. No formal sanction for failing to do so was announced at the time, but it was widely believed that the club would be prevented from starting the season if it was not done. It was a harsh adjudication – draconian, some might say – but the rationale behind it being breached was understandable. With the unpaid tax debacle at the end of last season, Wrexham had been given a warning without any formal sanction actually being delivered. That player wages should have been late or unpaid throughout the summer on top of this must have set alarm bells ringing that the club would be incapable of completing its fixtures this season, and against such a background it is perhaps unsurprising that the league should make a statement that said, effectively, “enough is enough”.
Geoff Moss, the club’s owner, stated that the requirements of the Football Conference were, “very unreasonable and very unfair”, and, by the close of business on Monday it was clear that the club hadn’t fulfilled its obligations. For those with anything like a cursory knowledge of the club’s affairs, however, Moss was not the person to be looking at if the club was to survive this particular brush with the Grim Reaper. By last weekend, the Wrexham Supporters Trust, whose bid to purchase the club has, in recent weeks, been getting closer and closer to completion, and other supporters of the club were already beginning a fund-raising effort that would demonstrate exactly why their future involvement in the running of the club will be so critical.
With the club understood to be £100,000 short of the amount of money required by the Football Conference, the supporters of their club embarked upon a fund-raising effort that is unlike any seen in the act of saving a football club in recent years. The fund-raising had already started at the weekend, with a group of supporters a group raising money with a twenty-four mile sponsored walk to the team’s pre-season friendly match against Northwich Victoria. With the Football Conference having granted a twenty-four extension to the deadline in order to be able to raise the extra money, money poured into the club. A shade over £27,000 was handed in at The Racecourse Ground, with more being collected through a bank account set up to gather funds together. Several gave thousands of pounds each. One gave the money that he had saved for his wedding. One supporter even offered the deeds to his house in order to save his club – unnecessarily, as things turned out, but the gesture symbolised the spirit of the day.
Many supporters, however, remain angry that they should have had to band together in order to save their club when the parlous situation in which it found itself is entirely the responsibility of those that have been running it since these difficulties began. They are right to feel this way, but it is to be hoped that this fund-raising activity will turn out to be the straw that broke the camels back in terms of the ongoing ownership issues that have been encircling the club for the last few months. At the time that the club needed, more than it had ever needed it before, a sum of money to be paid by a set date, Moss couldn’t deliver. That will likely now be his effective final act as the owner of the club – a statement made yesterday stated that the Football Conference has verbally agreed to the transfer of ownership of Wrexham FC to the Wrexham Supporters Trust, and the money raised yesterday will be returned to those that poured it in once the takeover has been completed. It seems as if, after a nightmare year so far, the ownership issues thhat the club has had may finally now be nearing an end. Moreover, the sale of The Racecourse Ground to Glyndwr University has now also been completed and, while this is not the solution that supporters may have hoped for, it is to be hoped that the university will build a constructive relationship with their tenants.
If there has been one constant theme of the last year or so at Wrexham FC, it has been the constant bad-mouthing of the supporters from so many different quarters. This week, however, they came through for their club in a frankly extraordinary way to keep their club alive. The Wrexham Supporters Trust has kept its head against often insurmountable looking odds, and even there are still issues relating the unity – or otherwise – of the club’s support, perhaps the events of the last few days will have brought a little clarity to the idea that an alternative future for the club, one in which this football club is run for the benefit of its community, without a cast that would not look out of place in a Guy Ritchie movie on the sidelines, can prosper and regain something of the stature that it used to hold. There will be talk of promotion now as well as other such chatter which accompanies the start of a new season, and the champagne corks will probably not start to pop until the contracts are signed and the club is formally under new ownership. For now, though, Wrexham will start the new season. It’s a small step but, as everybody connected with Wrexham Football Club found out on Tuesday, every little helps

Saunders Walks Out Of Crucial Meeting WIth Blue Square Premier Chiefs

The Racecourse Ground The Racecourse Ground

Football Conference Statement on Wrexham

The league's governing body, the Football Conference, have issued an official statement with regards to Blue Square Bet Premier side Wrexham FC.

The Football Conference met with Wrexham officials on Thursday and have subsequently issued a statement.

The statement read:


Wrexham appeared before an independent panel of the Football Conference on Thursday, 4th August 2011, to account for the serious financial situation at the football club.

Besides discussing the current position, the club were requested to detail their projections for the coming season.

The reasoning for this was to satisfy the Football Conference Ltd, from budget information supplied, whether the club could meet its legal and financial obligations as a member and to determine their ability to fulfill their fixtures and meet creditors' demands.


The panel was informed of a third party involvement in relation to the proposed sale of the clubs stadium together with other assets and received information on how the monies from the sale were intending to be used.

It was crucial, with the season due to commence, to establish, how best to protect not only the integrity of the competition but importantly to safeguard the interest of member clubs.

Wrexham Football Club shall by 5pm on Monday, 8th August undertake to the Football Conference Ltd:-

1. Deposit a bond or bank guarantee of £250,000 into the competitions accounts.

2. Proof of payment to all outstanding football creditors, including staff and players wages.

3. Lodge a signed lease, acceptable to the Football Conference, as to where the club intends to play its home fixtures for season 2011/12.

4. Submit a detailed business plan and revised budget for the coming season.


 This is probably the most crucial time in the history of Wrexham Fc and what happens, Saunders turns up late for the meeting and halfway through his mobile phone rings, so instead of making sure his phone was on silent or rejecting the call Saunders answers the call goes out of the meeting room and does not even return to the meeting, that must have impressed the bosses at Blue Square Premier for sure.  NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrexham Arrange Friendly Tomorrow Night To Thank Fans

Wrexham Fc have arranged a friendly match between themselves to be held at The Racecourse Thursday 4th August 2011 which is tomorrow night to say a big huge thank you to the fans who have raised over £11,000 to y the players wages. What an absolutely fantastic gesture by the players who in this day and age this sort of thing is unheard of.
Not sure if it is going to cost to get in yet but a huge big thanks should go to the supporters and the players who have rallied together to keep this great club going.

The Truth Behind The Scenes At Wrexham Fc

After yesterdays shock decision by The Crusaders to pull out of the league after this season it seems to have sent every football fan into a frenzy.
Fact1 - Since The Crusaders have been at The Racecourse there has been nothing but trouble, it git that bad that the football club and the rugby club had to hire a person to do the wages for the rugby club while the football club had their own wages clerk and this goes for everything,so basically the backroom staff has doubled, a chief executive for football and another for the rugby because the rugby staff think they are so suoerior to the football staff.

Fact 2 - When Wrexham were struggling to pay off the debt at the end of last season so they could play in the play offs the rugby staff were having new offices at The Racecourse and buying brand new top od the range carpets for their new offices even thought they already had ffices which had nothing wrong with them but they werent good enough for them.

Fact 3 - When they were kicked off Stansty Park, the old Wrexham Fc training ground for not paying their bills they re-located to The Queensway where they hired a painter to pait the Queensway officea for a £1,00 oer day to paint a council run sports centre. After two days they got rid of him but thats £2,000. Who the hell pays a painter that much?

Fact 4 - The rugby squad organised a BBQ two weeks ago and even wanted to put a bouncy castle on the pitch which was quickly stopped once Saunders found out, but the club once again forked out money to organise th BBQ and it wasnt a BBQ me or you woild hace in our vback garden, a lot more extravagant than that.

Fact 5 - Even though they have been warned not to train at The Racecourse, a few weeks ago when Saunders was on holiday they just turned up and even though the groundsman had started cutting the grass they stopped him not giving a toss about the pitch.


So for every football fan moaning about The Crusaders pullling out, it actually will save Wrexham a small fortune as they can get rid of half the backroom ataff who are getting oaid fordoinf hardly anything.


Less than three weeks before season starts Wrexham Fc atill havent got their kit and are playing friendlies in a kit they bought on the morning of the Huddersfield feiendly and the person reaponaible for organising it Jon Harris is away on holiday.

Lastly anyone been to the club shop yet,well if you want football stuff dont bother because the person running it is a rugby person and has emptied alll the football atuff out of there, as if its too much trouble to sell both.

Wrexham v Wolves X1 Monday 25th July 2011

lHalf time at The Racecourse and its still goalless with Wrexham having three chances in first five minutes , the first a lovely through ball from Lee Fowler split the defence and Cieslewicz with only the keeper to.beat hit it straight at him. Nothing else of any note during the first half but once again Lee Fowler is the star running the game for Wrexham. Indeed it was Lee Fowler ho scorwd for Wrexham chasing a defender nicking the ball and calmly curling his left foot shot into the corner of the net putting Wrexham 1-0 up before getting a huge cheer from a very poor crowd but when you arrange friendlies against opposition like tonight which was Wolves reservea then people are not going to spend their hard earned cash ans you cant blame them,pas he wa subbed. Wolves scored making the final score 1-1..
Half hour before kick off Chris Maxwell who was supposed to start the game complained of seing red dots before his eyes and was immediately pulled out of the squad.
Also Dean Saunders and Jay Harris have had another argument and he was dropped from the squad, so that argument they had last week has not been forgiven by Saunders as he has publicly stated in several local newspapers. What this space.
The goalkeeper Jocelyn Mayebi has impressed me in the two matches I have watched him play so far as he comes for more crosses than Maxwell does but hid distributipn of the ball is first class, inlike Maxwell who aims for Gareth Taylor as soon as Maxwell has the ball in his hands, Mayebi's distribution is a million times better, always looking to keep possession with a short ball and hee has a superb long throw which is very accurate and I would definitely start with him let Maxwell who is holding out for more monry release as I personally dont rate Maxwell that good,he is toomall rubbish at crosses and his distribution is shocking to say the least.

I have also been impressed with Nat Knight Percival playing in central defence and he is making that positionhis own with his performances plus adding a bit of pace to our slow sefence.
I cant go without singing the praises of Ciewelsicz who once again put inanother good performance with the Wolves defence really struggling to contain him.

Wrexham v Rochdale Sat 23rd July 2011 Friendly

Its half time at The Racecourse and Wrexham took the lead when Danny Wright chased onto a back oass which Rochdales keeper could only manage to hit it against Danny Wright and the ball went into the net, then Wrexham made it 2-0 when a good ball by Cieselqicz aent Johnny Hunt down the wing and his cross was deflected in off a Rochdale defender to make it 2-0 to Wxm. Rochdalw got one back when a blistering long range effort was too hot for Joslain Mayebi and he could only parry it and the striker scored the rebound with Wrexhams defen e staric. A minute before half time Rochdale got their aecond with a free header at the far post in front of the empty deserted kop and from a yard out he couldnt miss and thats how the first half ended with the game evenly poised at 2-2. Not sure what the attendance is yet but a very poor turn out,will be very surprised if therw are more than 1,000 fans here. Tolley with a free kick ten yards from touchline level with the 8 yard box scored an absolute scorcher into the top far corner the keeper could getnowhere near it, the goal coming around 15 minutes into thw second half and Wrexham then hd a goal disallowed for what I have no idea because a free kick the keeper could only parry was put into the net for the referee to disallow the goal,butwith 5 minutes left it is still 3-2 to Wrexham, and nearly 4-2 with Rochdales keeper having a nightmare and from the corner Wrexham hit the bar feom a hwader on the edge of the box. The final score 3-2 to Wrexham.

Supporters Trust Pull Out Of Buying Wrexham Fc

I have it on very good authority that the supporters trust have pulled out of buying Wrexham Football Club after weeks of going through the books. The trust want the current owners to pay off all the debts before they agree to takeover the club, but that simply is not going to happen and as I have said all along the trust don't have the financial backing to run the club which anyone who could count to ten could see a million miles away, which once again leaves the club in the lurch. If no-one had interfered then the club would have been bought already by Colin Poole which would have been better than the clubs current position.
Now who knows what`s round the corner, but I just hope that if someone else comes in then I hope everyone lets them get on with it and no-one tries stopping them because look where it has got us now. NOWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Club Shop Empties Football Merchandise and Sells Rugby Stuff Only

The Wrexham Football Club Shop which is on the old Dickens Car Sales ground and less than two years old has been emptied of all the football merchandise and now just stocks rugby merchandise as the football stuff will now go back to the small building at the back of The Racecourse where it was for years.
Who the hell do the rugby staff think they are? they have no right to do this, this is a football club and not a rugby club and when the season starts there will be trouble over this. The rugby have only been at this ground for a season and a half, they are rock bottom of their league, have crap attendances unless they play one of the big teams who bring a good following with them because the crusaders are lucky to get more than 2,000 supporters, they are losing money every week but continue to run the club as if they have ran it for the last 100 odd years and anyone who dares to cross them they give them a right mouthful as they did to someone working there two weeks ago when they turned up on a weekday to train at the racecourse even though Saunders has banned them from training there but at the time Saunders was on holiday himself so the cheeky bastards thought they would take the piss and train at the racecourse. Whoever said the rugby would be good for The Racecourse and still insists it is good needs their head testing as they are costing the club a small fortune and not even making money to pay for the team, let alone a brand new carpet in their office and now the cheeky twats have kicked all the football stuff out of our football club shop. Its time we got rid of these rugby pricks who think they are bigger than the club. This is a football club not a bloody rugby club so fuck off and dont come back.

Wrexham`s New Signing Jake Speight Has Spent Time In Jail

In February 2010, Speight assaulted his girlfriend of two years Kathy Mugglestone, after she drove him to hospital.Speight received a 12-week jail sentence in July 2010 after pleading guilty to the assault. He had failed to inform Bradford's manager, Peter Taylor, or his previous club, Mansfield, of the charges against him which only came to light following his court appearance. Speight appealed against his sentence a week later and he was released from prison; a Crown Court judge ordered his sentence to be suspended for 18 months and that Speight conduct 100 hours of community work.

His goal record is hardly anything to shout about either. Only scored 35 goals since 2004 playing for 10 different clubs and has not stayed at any of the clubs more than one year.

Speight began his career at Sheffield United, and was loaned out to Conference National side Leigh RMI in March 2005 to gain experience, Leigh were relegated, and Speight didn't make it onto the pitch.
He joined Scarborough on work experience in August 2005,scoring in both his first two appearances for the club. He was allowed to join the Seadogs permanently, and therefore never made an appearance for the Blades Three months later he switched to Bury, of League Two On 13 January 2006, he scored his first and second league goals, in a 3-2 victory over Torquay United He finished the season with two goals in seventeen appearances.He made another seventeen appearances for Bury in 2006–07, mostly as a substitute, and failed to find the net all season. He was released by the club in June 2007.
Following his release from Bury, Speight dropped back into non-league football, signing for Northwich Victoria.

He joined Conference North club Farsley Celtic in the summer of 2008, and then moved to Droylsden in March 2009.

In June 2010, Bradford City bought Speight for £25,000, offering the player a two year contract.
He started his spell with his new club by receiving a jail sentence for assault - without having informed the club beforehand that he had a court case. His work rate on the pitch made him popular with supporters,but he found just one goal in twelve appearances. On 29 October 2010 he joined League Two promotion chasers Port Vale on a one month loan. Manager Micky Adams had looked to sign the player permanently before he went to Bradford. His appearance in a goalless draw at the Pirelli Stadium with Burton Albion on 2 November 2010 earned Speight the honour of being the 1,000th player to play for Port Vale in the Football League.[17] After scoring in a 5-0 win over Stockport County, Speight's loan spell was extended for a second month.[18] He returned to Bradford in the new year.

Dean Saunders Transfers

Dean Saunders Transfers since becoming Wrexham manager in October 2008

Monday 8th Jun 2009

Kyle Is Latest To Leave

DEFENDER Kyle Critchell has agreed a deal which will see him leave the club with immediate effect, despite having a season left on his current contract, the necessary paperwork will be completed shortly.

The 22-year-old Wales U21 international had progressed through the youth and reserve teams at Southampton and also enjoyed a loan spell with Torquay United.

He left for Chesterfield in 2007 and was released by them after half a season, when he moved to Weymouth, his hometown club.

A move to Wrexham followed last summer, but he was suspended for the first three games of the season (following a red card in his final match with Weymouth) and then picked up an injury in training at the end of August.

After recovering from this ankle problem four months later, he said he was looking to be loaned out to help improve his first team chances at Wrexham. Joining fellow Conference side York City on a month's loan in early January 2009.

He was due to make his debut a day later against former club Weymouth, but the match was postponed due to the bad weather, before eventually made his first appearance after playing in the 2-1 victory over Oxford United ten days later.

His loan was extended for a second month on 4 February and finished with him making 11 appearances for the Minstermen.

Coming back to Wrexham in early March, Kyle then rejoined his local side Weymouth on loan until the end of the season. Playing eight times while with Weymouth, one bright spot as the Terras were relegated to the Conference South.

In total, Kyle only played two games for the Dragons, both last August.

He leaves with our best wishes and we hope he will soon be settled with a new club.

Tuesday 4th June 2009

Nat Brown has revealed he wants to leave the club so he can get first team football and not just sit and languish in the reserves. Personally I don`t think Matt has had much of a look in at Wrexham and maybe if he had had a decent look in then he would have made the centre back position his own as every time I saw him play, he always played quite a decent game so not sure if I am glad he is leaving or gutted. It`s one of them.

Tuesday 4th June 2009

Mark has signed a 12 month contract with a clause in it, which states that if after 4 months he has not done enough then Wrexham can tear up his contract and send Mark on his way.

Tuesday 19th May 2009

Levi Macken & Shaun Walley have both been released by Wrexham manager Dean Saunders. Both of them spent most of last season on loan at York City and Southport respectively but have been told they are no longer required at Wrexham. I am glad to see them both go as I thought both of them were uselesss footballers and have been very fortunate to be given a chance to play football for a living. If I was them I suggest they start looking for a proper job because they never going to make a decent living out of football as they are not good enough.

14th May 2009

Nathan Fairhurst joins Wrexham full time.

MIDFIELD player Nathan Fairhurst believes he has made the right choice by joining Wrexham, rather than staying with Championship club Preston North End.

The 19-year-old says the opportunity to play regular first team football with the Dragons is a better option rather than sit on the bench or play reserve team football at Preston where he was offered a new contract. I wish Nathan all the best and am sure that if he has a successful season then there will be a host of clubs trying to get his signature as he is too good to be playing non league football for more than a season.

Tuesday 5th May 2009

Jefferson Louis has left Wrexham by mutual consent with a year still left on his contract. The laziest footballer I have ever had the misfortune to watch play for Wrexham

Wednesday 29th April 2009

Gavin Ward - Keeper near the end of his career who served us well for 2 years.

Christian Gyan - The only match I seen him play, he was subbed at half time as he was shocking.

Anthony Williams - People claim he kept Wrexham in the league the season they beat Boston on the last day but he played about 12 games after coming in on loan and he was very lucky as all the shots in those 12 games came at a decent height and mae him look a better keeper than he was. Useless and good riddance.

Chris Marriott - Never saw him play.

Simon Spender - The promise he had as a youngster was never seen and was not good enough for Wrexham. Only reason he got a run in the team because Brian Little and Brian Carey don`t have a clue about playing football the proper way and thought he was the answer to someone with a bit of skill taking on players.

Wrexham sign winger Jamie McCluskey

Wrexham manager Dean Saunders yesterday strengthened his promotion-chasing squad by signing winger Jamie McCluskey and he is actively pursuing yet more targets to keep his players fresh for the final 10 weeks of the season.

Saunders said new boy McCluskey faced a battle for selection, but predicted he would quickly become a crowd-pleaser at the Racecourse.

"Jamie has joined us until the end of the season and if he does well we will give him a new deal next season.

"He has not played for a long time but the fans will love watching him. He is a very talented young player, but his first job is to force his way into the team. Once he has done that I’m sure he will become a crowd favourite."

McCluskey, at one time the youngest ever player to feature in the Scottish Premier League when at Hibernian, hopes his move to the Racecourse will finally launch a career blighted by injury. A twice-broken foot was at the root of the problem, but the 21-year old Scot is optimistic that the worst is behind him.

"I have only been here a week and a half and I’ve only trained with the other lads for three days," he said.

"This is a big opportunity for me to get back to playing regular football and I owe that to the manager and his staff who have all been great with me. I have been to Partizan Belgrade in Serbia and Catania in Italy, but I have not played for a year.

"Wrexham are obviously doing well, but I would not have signed for them unless I felt I had something to offer and I’ll be doing my best to break into the first team as quickly as possible."

17th February Andrew Crofts signs on as a Wrexham player Andrew Crofts

Wrexham FC sign Andrew Crofts

DEAN SAUNDERS has lured Wales star Andrew Crofts to the Racecourse – but the midfielder couldn’t prevent Wrexham slipping to a 2-1 defeat at Burton Albion last night.

Crofts, who has 12 international caps, made his debut in the Pirelli Stadium loss after completing a whirlwind loan switch from League Two side Gillingham hours before the game.

The signing provided Saunders some consolation after watching his side throw away a 1-0 advantage against the league leaders, with Jefferson Louis opening the scoring on 23 minutes.

And the manager believes Crofts has a glittering career ahead of him, having watched the midfielder at close quarters while on international duty with Wales.

In dispute with his club Gillingham, where his contract expires at the end of the season, the 24-year old has joined the Dragons until the end of the season in order to play regular first team football.

And the Racecourse boss is delighted to have secured the player’s services for Wrexham’s bid to bounce back into the Football League at the first attempt.

“He’s coming to help us in this final push for promotion,” said Saunders.

“I know his qualities from working with him at Wales and this boy could end up playing in the Premiership. He played against Holland last summer, where he made a good impression on the coaching staff.

“This is a major coup for us and shows the ambition of the chairman and myself in trying get Wrexham promoted out of this league.

“Andrew’s presence brings experience and strength to the squad and he will bring the best out of our younger players. He is a good, solid character and certainly no fancy-dan player because he rolls his sleeves up and gets stuck in.

“Andrew will definitely move onto better things. But it shows the boy’s character that he is will to come and help a Welsh club in the short term. He really is doing us a big favour.

“Both John Toshack and myself advised the player that a move to Wrexham would be a big help to both him and Welsh football.”

Crofts has also won under 19 and under 21 honours and was Gillingham’s player of the year last season. He made nearly 200 appearances for the Kent club, scoring 17 goals.

Wrexham have been busy in the transfer market again, albeit only on loan. A new goalkeeper which we need and another central defender which we definitely don`t need. A striker is what we desperately require but can`t seem to get one. Dragons'>http://www.wrexham-mad.co.uk/news/loadnews.asp?cid=TMNW&id=439866">Dragons sign new keeper - Wrexham FC - Wrexham Online Dragons sign new keeper. By Gvred. Thursday, 26th March 2009 ... Gunnar is the third player Wrexham have acquired from City this season, following in the ... Wrexham are in line to parade a new goalkeeper at Histon after International clearance was given to Gunnar Nielsen.The 22year old stopper has been signed until the end of the season from Manchester City, Gunnar is the third player Wrexham have acquired from City this season, following in the steps of Angelos Tsiaklis and Sam Williamson. The 6'3" stopper began his career with HB Torshavn, before moving to BK Frem Copenhagen in 2005. After making five Appearances, Gunnar was signed by Premier League Blackburn Rovers in July 2007 for an undisclosed fee.While at Rovers, he had a six month loan spell with Scottish Premier League outfit Motherwell, before moving onto Manchester City in a two and a half year deal. Obviously Mark hughes must rate him highly to bring him to Man City from Blackburn seeing as Man City already have two excellent goalkeepers. At 6 foot 3 he should be able to handle anything in the air which is what we desperately need. How many times have we lost to set pieces is un-real so hopefully this should put a stop to that. Assoumani signs for DragonsWrexham have announced the signing of defender Mansour Assoumani for the remainder of the season.Mansour is 28,and was born in Nice, France. He is 6 feet 2 inches and can play in central defence or right back. Assoumani began his career with French club Montpellier, making 74 appearances and scoring 4 goals in a five year stay. He has also played for German second division clubs Saarbrucken and Sportfreunde Siegen.In December 2008, Assoumani was offered a one month contract with First division Leeds United. He made one appearance while at Elland road, Playing in the 3-1 defeat against Milton Keynes Dons.Mansour was released by Leeds in January 2009, and trained with Crewe Alexandra but failed to secure a contract. At last we have some real height in our defence which is what we desperately required. I have now lost count of the number of players we have signed permanently or got on loan in the last two years. Surely we must be talking over 50 players. Geoff Moss surely must be congratulated on the money he has spent since taking over at Wrexham or sent to the nearest mental institution and strapped to the chair for his own well being and mental health because let`s face it, who else would have ploughed the amount of money into Wrexham during the last year or so. We must have had more players than Pamela Anderson has had ,well you know what she has had.
