In their local derby against Crewe Alexandra on Saturday, Wrexham AFC will look to avenge their loss at Stockport County.
The Red Dragons were devastated by a crushing 5-0 loss to the Hatters, but the possibility of a local matchup—which hasn’t happened in league football this century—presents a chance to resume winning ways in grand manner.
Despite having a strong start at Edgeley Park, County triumphed when errors and precise finishing exposed the Red Dragons’ defense.
Wrexham suffered its first 5-0 defeat against Luton Town since 2014, but a rigorous training week has given the team the motivation to bounce back this weekend.
Crewe comes into the STK Cae Ras with a four-game league winning streak of their own. Wrexham will be looking to continue their impressive home success.
The teams are competing for the automatic promotion berths following strong starts to the season and are matched up sixth vs seventh in the table.
Regarding injuries, Phil Parkinson disclosed that Eoghan O’Connell started training again this week. Jordan Tunnicliffe’s back injury during the preseason hasn’t flared up at all since.
INVESTIGATE THE OPPOSITION
After a subpar performance the previous season, Lee Bell’s team has had an incredibly strong start to Sky Bet League Two.
After being demoted and changing managers, Lee Bell assumed control after Alex Morris resigned.
Although the change in positions is unusual, Bell’s team has shown to be a potent offensive force, scoring 21 goals in nine games.
Chris Long, a former Everton Academy standout who has scored five goals for the visitors while teammate Elliot Nevitt had four, has been Alex’s go-to threat.
Last time out in Sky Bet League Two, Long scored twice in the first 10 minutes to put his team ahead of Colchester United and secure a win.
At the Cherry Red Records Stadium on the road, they staged a stunning comeback as Elliot Nevitt scored the game’s final goal to tie the score at 2-2.
Assistant Manager Dicker spoke to their Club media and revealed that they had struggled this season despite a bright start.
