Wrexham to play Southend or Kings Lynn in the FA Trophy Semi Final.

Match Information

Another dominant victory. We are so good to watch.

Match Information

It wasn't our best performance but we did enough.

Match Information

An absolutely ridiculous display from Ollie Palmer won us this one. The man is an animal!

Manager Thoughts

What a season it has been so far. This bunch of players are so easy to manage and some of the performances they've put in have been incredible. I really hope we can go the season unbeaten in the league, we really deserve it.

Match Information

A win in the first leg away from home is always good but I'm disappointed with how we performed defensively.

Match Information

A routine win. Not much else to say.

Match Information

Wembley here we come. A 2-0 win means we're in the FA Trophy final.

Match Information

A solid win against a good side. Happy with that.

Match Information

How have we only scored 1 here? To call it one-sided would be an understatement.

Match Information

RELIEF! It looked like we'd blown the chance of an unbeaten season but Mulls popped up to equalise in the last minute. Phew.

Match Information

We were lucky to win this one. We really weren't at the races in the second half

Match Information

We did it! An unbeaten league season. To be honest, it's not unexpected given the strength of our squad.

Manager Thoughts

The end of the league season and what a season it has been. At the start I said we were too good for this league and it showed. We dominated the league and went unbeaten. That won't happen next season. Now though, Wembley and the FA Trophy final awaits.

What a season! I've always found League Two and League One to be easy to get out of in previous saves so you could be in the Championship before you know it!

Wrexham added to their National League triumph by completing a league and cup double, beating AFC Fylde 1-0 in the FA Trophy final at Wembley.

Great start mate. Smashing the National League. The big test will come next year in the step up! Keep it up.

 

[MrTini23]

Great start mate. Smashing the National League. The big test will come next year in the step up! Keep it up.

I think we'll smash next season to be honest. We already have a superb squad for L2 level. The real test will be when we go up again. Hopefully I don't end up with egg on my face at the end of this coming season

Pre-Season 2023/24

09/06/23

The first of hopefully many to leave is during pre-season as we look to overhaul the squad.

This is excellent news. Great to see that Rob and Ryan are so committed to this club and the community.

01/07/23

Always the busiest day of pre-season as we release players and bring players in. Here is where we are at.

We've released quite a few, a lot of them weren't really earning their wage here at the club.

Liam McAlinden has also left the club and we have transfer listed the following.

Jordan Tunnicliffe
Aaron Hayden
Jacob Mendy
Sam Dalby
Jordan Davies.

We could also not extend the loans of Adam Wharton and Kyron Gordon.

We needed to bring some players in to replace those departing, and here they are.

Lukas Jenson will provide backup to Westwood in goal.

George Byers and Lewis Wing will provide competition for places in midfield with Corey Blackett-Taylor and Mark Harris doing the same on the wings.

Brooklyn Lyons-Foster adds to our defence.

If we manage to sell everyone that leaves us looking like this.

A very solid foundation to build on. The only place I'll be looking to strengthen further is the defence unless my scouts recommend someone incredible.

Not a bad 1st round draw, I'm happy with that.

Our draw in the Papa John's Trophy. Not that it's competition really care about.

Transfers

We managed to ship out a few to open up some squad places and free up some wages. Ideal.

I'm really happy with the signings we've made so far. Some of these players are League One quality. If we are able to ship some players out then we still have room in the budget to improve the squad as well.

The bookies must rate our signings as they have us as favourites to win the league!

Finances

That leaves our finances looking like this. Looking goooooood.

Results

I'm really happy with our results in pre-season. The squad is gelling nicely and I think we are in a good position to hit the ground running in League Two.

I'm trying not to read too much into this result as it was against the team that came up with us but what a start to the season. Paul Mullin was on fire!

Sun, 13/8/2023
Terrible news, scans have revealed that Luke Garbutt will be out for up to 6 months with a serious injury.

Match Information

It was a tight game in the EFL Cup but we got the job done.

Thu, 17/8/2023
Wrexham to host Sunderland in the EFL Cup 2nd Round.

Match Information

We went ahead early and that was that. Stevenage never really looked like getting back into the game. Would have been nice to have won by more though.

Match Information

Our first dropped points of the season which is disappointing. That's only down to their keeper though who had the game of his life.

Match Information

What a fantastic result! Not a game for anyone with a dodgy ticker though. Just glad we got the win in the end.

Thu, 31/8/2023
Wrexham to travel to Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup 3rd Round.

Manager Thoughts

A very solid first month back in the EFL. We still have room for improvement but we'll get there. Definitely think we have a chance at pushing for promotion.

Deadline day, always a fun part of the football calendar.

We had a few go out, all for money. I'm really happy with that as they also free up some of the wage budget, not that we're anywhere near hitting it.

We also had Danny Ward come in. He's a striker/winger who will provide competition for places. Essentially a replacement for Bennett.

Match Information

A good win to start the month though I was a little disappointed to concede two.

Match Information

Happy with this result. A completely different 11 and we managed to beat a hardly changed Stockport side. Just shows the strength of our squad depth.

Match Information

A pretty easy win, great to watch.

Match Information

I'm really pleased with this one. We could have scored more but defensively we were superb.

Match Information

A complete performance. We could have scored 10 had we not hit the woodwork 5 times. A massive statement.

Match Information

WHAT A WIN. OLLIE PALMER YOU BEAUTY. The big striker came off the bench to smash home a winner from 25 yards with just one minute to go. Great to take the scalp of a Championship side.

Thur, 28/9/2023
Wrexham to travel to Everton in the EFL Cup 4th Round.

Match Information

Another very good win and defensive performance. A professional performance.

Manager Thoughts

It's so good to see us fighting on all fronts and I'm incredibly proud of the work the lads are putting in. Looking forward to the test at Goodison Park in the cup.

Delighted to sign a contract extension to keep me here until 2026.

Match Information

A great performance. Mark Harris was superb in front of goal. Newport never really threatened to be honest.

Match Information

Proper Jekyll and Hyde performance this one. Great first half, but rubbish second. End of the day we got the win and are through to the knockout stages, which is all that matters.

Thu, 12/10/23
Midfielder Conor Coventry signs on a free transfer.

Match Information

Wasn't our best performance but we did enough.

Match Information

An easy win. Happy with that performance.

Match Information

Lucky to come away with a point. The first half was the worst I've seen since I took over but thankfully we were able to battle back.

Mon, 23/10/23
Wrexham to host Fleetwood in the FA Cup 1st Round

Match Information

A superb performance and win, even if two of our goals were penalties.

Match Information

A very good win away from home. Relatively stress-free.

Match Information

WHAT THE **** JUST HAPPENED!? PINCH ME. WE JUST WENT TO PREMIER LEAGUE EVERTON AND TURNED THEM OVER….AGAINST THEIR FULL-STRENGTH SIDE. I need a lie-down.

Manager Thoughts

Still smashing it in the league which is great. The result in the cup still hasn't really sunk in, to be honest. Unbelievable.

Wrexham to host Liverpool U21's in the Papa John's Trophy Northern 3rd round.

Match Information

We stuck with the same side from Wednesday night and just about snuck the win to reach round 3. Job done I guess.

Mon, 11/12/23
Wrexham to travel to either Stockport or Swindon in the FA Cup 3rd round.

Match Information

A dominant performance. The scoreline flatters them massively.

Match Information

Another game in the league and another win. We were on another level vs Salford, we were way too good for them.

Match Information

When I saw the Man City team I knew we needed a miracle. Taking the lead on 34 seconds I definitely did not expect. That was as good as it got but the lads can hold their heads up high.

Match Information

A solid 2-0 win, good to return to winning ways.

Match Information

Paul Mullin was on fire! What a performance.

Match Information

Given we were playing against bottom of the league at home, I did not expect it to go to the wire. I'm just relieved we managed to sneak a winner at the end.

Manager Thoughts

Couldn't be happier with the way we are playing and how the season is going. Looks like, unless we really **** up, promotion to League One is on.

We also had two departures. Neither of them has played much this season.

Match Information

A brilliant win against Gillingham. We dominated from start to finish,

05/01/24

I hadn't planned on selling Colm but that money is far too good to refuse for a backup player.

Match Information

We definitely were not at our fluid best in this one during the first half. After the break, however, we were back to normal and cruised to victory.

09/01/24

Jordan was leaving us in the summer anyway so I'm not too bothered to lose him.

Match Information

We heavily rotated the side and it cost us as we lost on penalties. I can't say I'm too bothered to go out of the trophy this season as we've already surpassed expectations.

Match Information

Safely into round 4 with a stunning performance at Stockport. The lads were just unreal.

15/01/24

Wrexham to travel to Wolves in the FA Cup 4th Round.

16/01/24

Really disappointed by this. It's not like he wasn't playing.

We were unlucky to draw this one in my opinion but I'll happily take a point away against the team behind us in 2nd.

19/01/24

Defender Zach Awe joins on loan from Arsenal for the rest of the season.

Match Information

We never really got out of second gear but we didn't need to.

Match Information

Easy win in a match we dominated. Too good for this league.

Match Information

My god, we were awful in the first 20 minutes. Once we woke up, we were brilliant and managed to come back and win,

Manager Thoughts

Another superb month for us. This squad is just so good! I honestly think we'd do ok in League One based on our current form.

A solid win. It wasn't our greatest game but we did enough.

Match Information

So we go out of the FA Cup in round 4. I can't fault the lads though, they gave it everything they had and nearly took Wolves, who are 4th in the Premier League, to a replay.

Match Information

We weren't good yet again. I'm a little worried that the number of games we've played may be having an effect. At the end of the day though we did enough to get the win.

Match Information

Now that's more like it! The difference in performance was night and day. The best thing about this result though means we are OFFICIALLY PROMOTED TO LEAGUE ONE!

Match Information

This result means we are officially CHAMPIONS!

Manager Thoughts

Could not be happier. What a season it has been and there are still 11 games to go!! I think I'll start giving players much-needed rest and rotate the squad a little more.

Match Information

Tranmere are the team in this league that I want to beat more than any other so I'm delighted with this result.

Match Information

As I said last month, I'll now be rotating the side a fair bit so poorer results are probably to be a bit more frequent. This is one of them. I'll take a draw.

Match Information

Our first-ever league loss under my management. Disappointing, but we did have four of our U18s playing.

Match Information

As this game falls on my birthday, I decided to field a full side. I wasn't disappointed as we eased to a 5-2 win.

Match Information

We played a strong side and won comfortably, job done.

Manager Thoughts

A little disappointed to lose for the first time in the league but does it really matter at this stage? All I'm looking to do now is plan for next season and part of the process is deciding who I want to keep around.

14th April

Neither of these offers much in terms of a step up as they are both League One clubs. No thanks. If a Premier League side came calling I'd consider it but these aren't worth it.

Match Information

A very good win away at 4th placed Salford. We had to work hard for that one.

Match Information

An easy win in this one. Never looked like dropping points.

Manager Thoughts

We are kind of going through the motions a little bit at the moment with nothing to play for, Victims of our own success, The race for the golden boot is hotting up though with Paul Mullin tied with Salford's Jordan Hugill.
