Nothing at all of note happened today, but I took a look at title challenger Wrexham’s plight before signing off. They’re going to struggle against Fleetwood tomorrow. The Trawlermen have a slightly fitter squad, which could make all the difference when the two teams are both coming off the back of a cup tie (against each other, funnily enough).
Wrexham will be hurting more from the absence of three key players—suspended full-back Gavin Hoyte, forward Adrian Cieslewicz, and winger David Worrall. Their available regulars are, by all accounts, exhausted, and in no condition to play 90 minutes. And their fringe men don’t exactly look fresh, either. I’ll be very impressed if they limp through the next two matches (a home tie against Barrow follows two days after the Fleetwood clash tomorrow) with maximum points.
Wrexham may even fall off the wagon entirely, slipping down to fourth or fifth on the table—behind the on-fire Grimsby and in-form Gateshead, who trail closely on points (albeit with a few extra games under their belt). I’ll be watching closely.
