Altrincham 1 Wrexham 3 Saturday 30th January 2010

A first goal for Mangan in Wrexham colours after 3 mins set Wrexham on the way to a good 3-1 away victory at Altrincham. With a good following urging Wrexham on they started well and Mangan got his goal from a cross into the box where he put it in the back of the net. First half it was all Wrexham and they got their second through Wes Baynes after 38 mins from inside the box. They went in at half time 2-0 up but they could have been 6-0 and that would have been fairer. Sinclair went off injured early first half replaced by Mike Williams, lets hope its not serious. Mark Jones came on as sub and scored the third and Altrincham got a late consolation goal.

Rushden & D'mnds 0 Wrexham 0 26th Jan 2010

After a good 1-0 win in our first game of 2010 against high flying Afc Wimbledon and with new signing Andy Mangan, although a bit ring rusty showing signs of a good footballer, things are starting to look up for us Wrexham fans again. The lad we signed from Chester only last week has left for more money and gone to Fleetwood Town who as far as I am concerned is good riddance to him. He may be getting £1,200 per week or more depending on which paper you read but he obviously has no ambition and perhaps he is not good enough to play in the league, because why would any young footballer trying to make his way in the game turn down Wrexham for a club in a league below them and let`s face it, Fleetwood Town, who are they? 
Tonight`s opponents are Rushden & Diamonds who include Jefferson Louis in their team after winning the man of the match award in their last game.  Yet when Louis was at Wrexham I don`t think anyone was sorry to see him let go but ain`t it funny how things turn out as we just can`t score goals all season but hopefully with Mangan now signed that will change.

Rushden & D'monds: Roberts, Osano, Downer, Stuart, Robinson, Wolleaston, Terry, Byrne, Louis, Tomlin, Farrell. Subs: Day, Porter, O'Connor, Smith, Corcoran.

Wrexham: Russell, Obeng, Westwood, Assoumani, Sinclair, Spann, Baynes, Fleming, Smith, Mangan, Sakho. Subs: Maxwell, Mike Williams, Fairhurst, McCluskey, Anoruo.

Attendance: 3,276
Referee: Paul Davison (Cleveland).


Wrexham`s first game of the year ended in a 1-0 win from a very controversial goal. Wrexham included new signing Andy Mangan in the side amidst rumours that there has been a huge dressing room row with Curtis Obeng, Matty Wolfenden and new signing Anthony Barry who only signed the other day and has not even played a game yet all ripping up their contracts and alking out of the club. In fact Anthony Barry has signed for Fleetwood Town after they offered him more money which is shocking, but if that`s the sort of person he is then good riddance and we will be better off without him the money grabbing git. Anyway back to taoday`s game and Afc Wimbledon with a good following of 469 in the 3,269 attendance were the first to have a shot on goal after 10 minutes which came to nothing. Andy Mangan showed some nice touches when the ball was passed to him and Wrexham started to play some nice football which we haven`t seen at The Racecourse all season. On the half hour Gareth Taylor by the section where the away fans now sit crossed the ball high into the box and the keeper caught it under a challenge from Lamine Sakho when the linesman put his flag up and awarded a goal. Every Wimbledon player ran to the linesman to protest and after consulting his linesman the referee gave the goal as the keeper had carried it over the line. 1-0 Wrexham and they were now well and truly on top and a few minutes later Wrexham produced another great cross and the ball was in the back of the net but the referee spotted something the linesman didn`t and disallowed the goal but Wrexham were on fire and could sense there was another goal in this before the break which nearly came from Wes Baynes free kick which skimmed the top of the crossbar. Half time 1-0. 2nd half and Taylor had a chance which their keeper made a good save, then Fleming from the halfway line passed the ball back to the keeper whose clearance was blocked and Wimbledon really should have scored but Russell slid back and put it over his own bar for a corner but a fantastic save. Mangan was then subbed with 20 mins left and that was the minute that changed the way we were playing and totally lost all confidence going forward and sat back and defended as Wimbledon threw everything bar the kitchen sink at Wrexham but under Frank Sinclair they have a fantastic captain and his defending was first class. One sour point was the injury received to a Wimbledon player who was still being stretchered off at the final whistle but a fantastic result and even better as I had £10 on Wrexham to win at 17/8.

Wrexham Sign Striker Andy Mangan 19th January 2010

Wrexham have officially confirmed that they have signed the striker they have been chasing for last few month.

He has had his photo taken on the pitch this afternoon and it will be made official soon.
He also played in a Wrexham eleven yesterday against Accrington Stanley which they drew 1-1 and today against TNS which Wrexham won 1-0
Wikipedia
Andrew Mangan (born 30 August 1986 in Liverpool) is an English footballer currently playing for Wrexham FC.




Andrew Mangan began his education in football at Blackpool FC at the age of 15. He was there for three years scoring 49 goals all together in reserve and youth team football. He also made his professional debut at the club, at the tender age of 17. He made just 2 professional appearances at Blackpool FC under Steve MacMahon. Colin Hendry took over as manager in Mangan's third year at the club, and Mangan found it hard to break in to the first team with Hendry's preference of players to be six foot plus, Mangan was therefore released towards the end of the season.



Mangan went straight on loan to Unibond Premier team Hyde United, scoring 2 goals in 7 appearances, helping them secure the league title along the way. It was thought Mangan would return to Hyde the following season but he rejected them in favour of a full time contract with Accrington Stanley.



At Accrington Mangan played 2 full seasons helping them gain promotion to the Football League for the first time in 50 years. In his first full season Mangan played in 45 cup and league games scoring ten goals. Mangan was used mainly in the last forty minutes of games to use his pace and exploit the defenders, he was known as a super sub in his first year. And scored some vital goals to help Accrington clinch the title. In his second year at the club Mangan became frustrated with the lack of starts he was getting. He made 36 appearances only 5 of them were from the start, and scored 6 goals. At the end of the 2007 season Mangan was offered a two year deal from Accrington but rejected in favour of Bury FC.



At Bury Mangan was given his chance, he scored his first goal in August with a header against Chesterfield, with 5 more goals coming before Christmas. Mangan was injured at the beginning of December 2007 with a suspected hernia problem. Mangan went under surgery in December 2007 and only made 6 appearances the rest of the season as he could not get fit. He made 20 appearances at bury, 10 of them starting and the others used as a substitute. While injured at Bury his manager Chris Casper was sacked and Alan Knill replaced him. Mangan was released towards the end of the 2008 season.



In the summer of 2008 Mangan signed for Forest Green Rovers. Forest Green Rovers manager Jim Harvey made Mangan his first signing of the summer, saying he had been after Mangan for a while. It was here at Forest Green Rovers that Mangan came into his own. He made 49 appearances scoring 30 goals, 26 of them were in the league and he finished the Blue Square Premier top goalscorer. Mangan was voted player of the year by the Directors of Forest Green Rovers. His 30 goals include 3 hat tricks against Torquay United, Lewes FC and Rushden and Dimonds.



On 7 April 2009 he was named as one of five players charged by the Football Association for breaching betting rules, whereby players, managers or coaching staff are prohibited from betting on the result or progress of any match or competition in which the participant is participating or has any direct or indirect influence. According to the BBC, the charge relates to a game between Bury FC and Accrington FC, before which Mangan is alleged to have placed stakes to the value of approximately £3,500.[1] The Football Association subsequently fined him £2,000 and banned him for five months .[2]



On 15th January, Mangan maintained his desire to stay at Forest Green Rovers until the end of the 09-10 season, despite speculation linking him with a move to fellow Blue Square Premier side Wrexham

Wrexham Fans Try To Clear The Pitch

Wrexham FC supporters and a local building company have given their support to try to clear the club's Racecourse pitch after six weeks without football.


Club secretary Geraint Parry said it showed a real community spirit.

But he remains unsure whether Saturday's game against Stevenage Borough will go ahead.

The Dragons are on their longest run without a game for 32 years since the big freeze of 1978

Wrexham face eighth successive postponement Wrexham are facing their eighth successive postponement with the Blue Square Premier side set to suffer six weeks without playing a game.


The game away to Barrow next Tuesday is already off as the hosts are set to play an FA Trophy game at Maidenhead.

And Wrexham's home match with Stevenage on Saturday is in doubt because of a frozen Racecourse pitch as the big freeze continues in Britain.

"I'm very concerned by the fixture backlog," said boss Dean Saunders.

The Dragons are on their longest run without a game for 32 years since the big freeze of 1978 and Wrexham must fit in 28 games in the remaining 14 weeks of the season - an average of two games a week.

"We will have to play on Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday then again on Saturday," said Saunders.

"And it could be worse if there weather doesn't get any better.

"We will have to play all of the games eventually but it will be a severe test of my squad."

Wrexham's 1-0 FA Trophy victory over Altrincham on 15 December was their last outing but the Dragons' last league fixture was a 2-1 defeat at York City on 5 December.

606: DEBATE
Wrexham now have to fit 24 games into their schedule between now and April while most other teams have to play around 19

MrWrexham
The Racecourse club have had games against Mansfield, AFC Wimbledon, Altrincham, both home and away and Gateshead, both home and away, called off due to the freezing weather.

Now Saturday's visit of Stevenage is already in jeopardy as the Racecourse pitch is completely frozen and covered in three inches of snow.

Wrexham officials will perform regular pitch inspections but already the Stevenage match is only "50-50" to beat the weather.

The Mansfield game has been rearranged for 2 February while their visit to Gateshead has been rescheduled for 23 March.

Altrincham 1 v 0 Result Wrexham Fa Trophy Replay Tuesday 15th Dec 2009

After a rocky horror first match at The Racecourse last saturday where after missing a 4th min penalty, Wrexham never looked like scoring and this will now be our 2nd meeting of Altrincham in a month as we play them home and away in the league in next two weeks. Lets be honest Altrincham are a very poor team and we should be taking these teams to th'd cleaners but we are too slow when we break with the ball supporting the player and by the time the supporting cast arrive in the box the opportunity has gone. Spann who I am not the biggest fan of actually put in some fantastic crosses last Saturday but no one was on the end of them, because they never made any real threatening runs and its the same week in week out although we looked better with Gareth Taylor and Marc Williams out of the side as we at least tried playing football on the floor. The only positive I take from last Saturday's match is the return of Sam Russell in goal whose distribution was excellent with pinpoint passes to our players apart from the one mis-kick which I will let him off with but I suspect that Maxwell will return between the posts tonight as Saunders never picks the players in form and will stick with the tried tested and failed formula which has served him so well this season. http://www.altrinchamfc.co.uk/alty1.htm Wrexham line up as follows:- Russell Mani Westwood Spann Taylor Fairhurst Baynes Taboubi Jonah Sakho Williams
A recall for Jonah in midfield, Russell has kept his place in goal, a surprise recall for Taboubi after his recent performances have not been the best after a good start at beginning of season where he looked a very good player and a deserved place for Fairhurst who must be wondering why he has not been playing with our dismal performances. Half time here its still no goals but one way traffic and usual story Wrexham cant score to save their lives. About 150 Wrexham fans have made the journey here and that is good support considering the performances Wrexham have put in lately.
2nd half and Wrexham make a sub about ten mins into the 2nd half with Baynes going off with an injury and Chesielwicz coming on. Its now Altrincham 1 Wrexham 0 and things are going from bad to worse for Dean Saunders who really must be hanging on to his job by the skin of his teeth. Wrexham are knocked out of the Cup by Altrincham after dominating most of the two games but just cant score a goal for love or money and even after 4 min injury time Wrexham were not pushing forward enough and Spann takes a corner only for it to sail over everyone. Man Of The Match was the Altrincham keeper which tells you just how this game was but like I say we never really threatened their goal and Marc Williams hit the post when he should have scored.

Wrexham v Altrincham Sat December 2009

About eight degrees at the Racecourse and with ticket prices reduced by just 2-3 pounds this could be the lowest ever attendance at the Racecourse on a Saturday afternoon and it serves Wrexham right. It was good to see Sam Russell back in goal and his distribution was second to none as he could and did pick out a player every time except for the mis kick during 2nd half and didnt just hoof the ball upfield hoping we win it and didnt I think he should stay in the side. Even though he didnt have much to do he commands his area better, comes for the high balls and his all round game is better than Maxwell's and thats the only positive to come from this game as Wrexham were awful. With less than 3 mins played Spann was brought down and Sakho put the penalty wide. Mike Williams missed a free header and Altrincham were shocking and not till the 2nd half did they put a few passes together. Awful game and with Wrexham desperate to avoid a replay Saunders brings on Mark Williams, the striker who has not scored a goal in his 19th match. I could not believe it. Yes it finished 0-0 to a chorus of boos.

Saunders On Way Out? Friday 11th December 2009

Just been told that something big is going on at Colliers Park this morning involving Dean Saunders which they Wrexham are trying to keep quiet. Has Dean Saunders played his last game as Wrexham manager after a disastrous season so far. As soon as I find out exactly what is happening I will post on here. Dean Saunders Update:- Dean Saunders who normally puts in a full shift every day of the week has been coming in late and going home early and he has emptied his desk at Colliers Park. Read into this what you will.

York City 2 Wrexham 1 Saturday 5th December 2009

Wrexham with Marc Williams on the bench started slowly and paid the price after just 6 mins when they conceded a goal that angered Wrexham as they felt that Curtis Obeng was fouled but despite protests the goal stood and that was still the score at half time. 2nd half it was all Wrexham and despite having nearly all the possession when we got to the final third of the field we dont know what to do and the attack breaks down time and time again. but with the home fans getting restless Wrexham could sense a goal and were playing neat attractive football with the useless Marc Williams on the bench and looked a lot better for him being dropped. Surely soon we would get the equaliser we surely deserved but its a cruel game and after Gareth Taylor had his goal disallowed for offside a few mins later York were celebrating a 2nd goal of the day totally against the run of play and with less than ten mins left it was game over. Wrexham two mins after conceding a second goal pulled one back through Andy Fleming, surely we cant get another I thought and even though we pushed forward in the dying mins the points were lost and Wrexham go home empty handed when they deserved all three points. The only good thing I heard yesterday was Wrexham are close to bringing in two new players and thats come from a very good source.

The question on every Wrexham fans lips is will Marc Williams start after 18 matches and still yet to score a goal. I fear Saunders will start with him and it will be a big mistake. Lets just pray.

Wrexham v Forest Green Rovers Tue 1st Dec 2009

Wrexham make a couple of changes to the starting line up with Mark Jones and Lamine Sakho both in the starting eleven but unfortunately for all Wrexham fans Gareth Taylor and Marc Williams both start once again, so the worst partnership in the history of Wrexham Fc have kept their places. Marc Williams must be living on borrowed time as 18 games now without one goal all season is a disgrace and with Andy Fleming in midfield who has played for 4 years and still to score a goal the signs are not good and lets not forget this Forest team have won 2 games all season, 3rd from bottom of league and are part time but at half time we have not had one shot on target and Wrexham get booed off at half time. Saunders makes two subs half time but I cant believe Mark Jones is off and he has left the front two on. I have had enough now and Saunders has not got a clue and its time he went . Another shocking substitution when the useless twosome are allowed to stay on the pitch. Saunders must go now whether we win this match or not as I have lost all faith in his tactics and so have the rest of The Racecourse faithful. With just 3 mins left Forest Green Rovers had a man sent off and Wrexham were awarded a free kick outside the box which Wes Baynes struck home to give Wrexham a very undeserved 3 points. Marc Williams subbed tom late for Matty Wolfenden to make any sort of impact but Marc Williams did hit the bar from 6 yards out where even I would have scored. Even though we won 1-0 against ten men Saunders has got to go as he keeps picking the same strikers who have not done it all season, so why carry on picking them when there are better players on the bench and even in the stand. A shocking display by the worst crowd so far at The Racecourse this season with only 1808 bothering to turn up and just 21 away fans.

Wrexham v Forest Green Rovers Tue 1st December 2009

After going out of the Fa Cup to Swindon last Saturday its back to non league action this Tue when Wrexham entertain Forest Green at The Racecourse. Will Saunders stay with the same team that played so well against Swindon even though they didnt score or will he have the balls to drop the useless Marc Williams and his partner up front Gareth Taylor and give someone else a chance, I certainly hope so but I would not bank on it as Saunders seems in love with them two despite having the worst scoring record ever at The Racecourse in one season so far.

Since Wrexham have been down to ten men it has been all Wrexham and Wrexham denied a penalty when a shot by Marc Williams hit the defender on the arm and every Wrexham player appealed for a penalty which tells you all you need to know as they always say look at the reactions of the players whenever a major decision is made and after having a penalty appeal denied Wrexham`s Wes Baynes went on a long run and shot which the Swindon keeper made the save of the season to keep the ball out and keep the score at 0-0.
At the moment it`s all Wrexham and wait for it, Swindon first real effort on goal from a corner is headed home by the Swindon captain after Marc Williams loses the ball. That  just about sums him up for me. Williams is absolutely useless and Wrexham now with ten mins left and down to ten men are now going out of the Fa Cup due to Marc Williams giving the ball away. Get rid of the useless Williams now. We will not score with him on the pitch, he is a f--k--g joke and must be in love with Saunders and that`s why he is always picked.
