Fearless in Devotion

It’s going down to the wire. Rhys, Tim and Andy look at the loss against Champions Coventry and ask was it a free hit or a f**k up? We reveal high news about a prospective guest before going through the missed opportunity at the Coventry Arena. Was it bad defending for the opener? Did Issa Kabore mean to cut back exactly there for the equaliser? If Thomason strike goes in instead of hitting the post do we get at least a point. But the big question is… should Danny Ward have done better with the free-kick? There are passionate arguments either side on that one.

We then pick our teams for the massive game against Middlesbrough and ask the big question - will we make the play offs?

It's the next part of the Fearless in Devotion live night! Here Wrexham Women's boss Jenny Sugarman gave us a class half hour answering the big questions about a mega successful season - the biggest in our history.

There's a bit about her, how she got the job (it was old school), targets this term, standout moment, Wales vs England, Wrexham vs South Wales, European nights, hopes for the future and if we can ever be the 'best in the world' side that Ryan and Rob want. There's lots, lots more so spend 30 minutes with a very impressive lady.

It's back in our hands. Amazing really considering where we were after the Birmingham defeat but you can never count out Philip J Parkinson. Andy, Tim and Liam look at the scrappy win at Oxford and see where it leaves us in the play off hunt.

We discuss how good Matty James was, why Josh Windass is the match winner (again) at the right time of the season and how Dom Hyam was superb at the back. But do we have problems down the right hand side though with two massive games ahead?

We’re joined by Coventry fan Laura Hartley to go through Sunday’s big match and find out if the Sky Blues will still be partying (and if they'll take up Rob Mac's kind Vegas offer).

We look at the key players and what’s changed under Frank Lampard, before we give our verdicts on the rest of the season and if we’ll make the playoffs. We also pay tribute to a real club legend who has passed away.

Wrexham are back in with a shout of the play-offs. Rhys, Tim, Liam and Andy examine our rather comfortable win against Stoke, while biggest play off rivals Hull could only manage a draw.

Phil Parkinson made some big calls dropping Arthur Okonkwo and Max Cleworth and there’s differing opinions on whether he was right to do it.

We also ask if Josh Windass has the X-Factor to get us over the line, is Callum Doyle back to his best and who is our early shout for player of the season. We predict what we need to get into the play offs and how we see the rest of the season panning out.

The lads also discuss our latest live night where had some great guests who gave us some brilliant insight into the club now and in the past.

It was the latest Fearless in Devotion live night at the Maesgwyn Hall on Thursday (April 17) and we couldn’t leave you hanging. Wrexham CEO Michael Williamson gave us 50 minutes of his time and answered all the big questions you posed to him (and a few from us).

These include: loyalty scheme (or lack of it), away pricing, season tickets in the future, lots and lots (and lots) on the Kop, plus the rest of the ground development, the training ground, the academy, the pre-season tours and the transfer window rated and slated.

Oh and of course, where is the Rockin’ Robin suit and does he wear it. Have we forgotten something? Probably…so you’ll just have to listen

Other panels we have to come in the coming weeks are : Kevin Russell, Mark Carrington and Neil Ashton, Jenny Sugarman and Ben Tozer

Is the play off dream gone? That’s the stark question Andy and Tim have to answer after another horrific defeat in a week seems to have derailed a season. Too many players were off par and we’re looking at you Max, Arthur, George Dobson and Matty James.

We pick the bones out of a painful defeat at bogey side Birmingham and ask if there are positives we can take into the last four games of the season. We also re-rate the transfer window and go through the final few games and try to identify where we can pick up points.

But there is some good news this week as we get a huge announcement from Hollywood as Welcome to Wrexham is renewed for three seasons. Surely that gives us three more chances to get to the Premier League?

Welcome to the ‘Wrexham got hammered’ edition - they don’t happen very often! We look at what went wrong but we have to take our hats off to Southampton. They are the benchmark we need to reach.

But first we reveal some big news! Then we dive into the analysis and ask if Parky or the players are to blame plus what we can do to turn things around. We all agree the play offs push is not over by a long way.

We mention our most infamous hammerings and preview the now huge match against Birmingham. Always look on the bright side of life…

Welcome to the Easter sore head edition. Tim, Andy and to a lesser extent Liam hit West Brom hard but like the team, we’ve recovered (well, sort of).

We ask why were Wrexham so passive in the first half and so good in the second. Was Arthur to blame for the first and why was Issa definitely to blame of the second.

But then, the second half - how good was Windass and have we made peace with him not celebrating. We look at two beautiful goals and one amazing, world class save - whatever other people think.

We’ll then look ahead to the Southampton match and ask if we’d change anything (Note: Liam does want to change things). We also ask should Hyam go to the World Cup and examine the women’s team furore over Jodie Bartle’s passionate team talk which drew sexist comments.

Another little bonus for you! In a finance special Liam and Andy are joined by Dan Plumley senior lecturer in football finance at Sheffield Hallam University for a fascinating deep dive into Wrexham AFC’s record-breaking finances.

We delve into the £33.3m turnover, the £14.8m losses and the amazing 57.7% rest of the world revenue. And we ask the big questions such as are Wrexham effectively a Premier League business, does being such a global brand carry risks and is a £70m Kop Stand the only way we can go. We examine the private equity boost from Apollo investments and the £3.8m lost when a broker went bust.

We also look at the £4m paid to Ryan Reynolds’ and Rob Mac’s marketing companies, plus the £2m+ given to promote Welcome to Wrexham and ask is that money well spent.

It’s a fascinating insight into some astounding accounts
