There was a Wrexham fan at my work yesterday (a legit one from Wrexham who coaches here in Kansas City as opposed to all the fake American ones).
He was feeling very confident they'd do a number on Dyche.

My mate lives in Chester and worked in Wrexham for a while. A right shit hole (his words) but the town has been re vitalized by the success of the football team.

It looks like Dyche has done a Moyes — ie at the Wolves League Cup tie. He will make a few changes at half-time and put some proper first-team players on.
Will he suffer like Dour Dithering Dave and us!

Some more recognisable names coming on.
Nathan Broadhead playing for Wexham, getting the assist for their second goal.
6 Posted 09/01/2026 at 21:05:23
Three or four strikers came through the Academy in the last few years and went elsewhere. I thought that Broadhead was the best of them and only for persistent injuries would have done a lot better than he has.
He still gets the goals at a decent rate and has good ability in making some.

And any cash we got was peanuts really.

The kid Okonkwo is quite the goalie!
12 Posted 09/01/2026 at 22:16:42
Give us Wrexham next round: four cup games v Wrexham, 4 wins, 19-2 goals aggregate. I can almost feel the final.
13 Posted 09/01/2026 at 22:20:01
He guessed right for all 5 Forest penalties.
14 Posted 09/01/2026 at 22:20:28
Hope we get Oxford away... but I very much doubt we'll get past Sunderland.

Although I did hear that Mr. Shears has sent scores of emails to Le Bris, all telling him that his Sunderland will batter us.
