Day 261

Fatigue has finally worn-down title challengers Wrexham, who were held to a 1-1 draw at home to 22nd-placed Barrow this evening. Barrow are likely to get relegated, with just 29 points from their 38 games. It should have been a walk in the park for the high-flying and in-form Wrexham. That’s three draws in a row for The Red Dragons, who in the space of a week have gone from my biggest threat for the title to being at risk of slipping down to fifth.

They still have three games in hand, which could put them two points ahead of second-placed Mansfield if they take maximum points. But I wouldn’t count on it.

The take-away from all this, from my point of view, is that I’m nearly home and hosed. My boys have room to drop a few points in the last seven games, regardless of results elsewhere.
