The September review

Do you remember 

Wrexham’s results in September?

Parky was changin’ the mind of pretenders

And now we’ve got two huge games away…

I can’t quite recall Earth, Wind & Fire lyrics word for word, but I’m pretty sure that is how that one goes.

The second month of the National League season is over and Wrexham have ended it how they started it; second-place, the highest scorers in the division with the highest goal difference of any side. Not too shabby.

Only four matches this month but we netted 15 goals and kept three clean sheets, exactly what we wanted ahead of a pivotal run of fixtures to start the new month.

We’ve been excellent so far but October is the real acid test with three tricky away test and home matches against sides we really should be beating.

Here is our review of September

Results

Dorking 0-5 Wrexham (Palmer 20’, 49’, OG 35’, Mendy 24’, Lee 76’)

Wrexham 4-1 Dagenham (Palmer 25’, 75’, Mullin 45+1’, 73’ - Morias 90+6’)

Southend 0-0 Wrexham 

Wrexham 6-0 Torquay (Davies 11’, Mullin 30’, Palmer 43’, Hayden 72’, Dalby 81’, Forde 90+1’)

Best moment 

Sam Dalby’s first goal for the club. Not only was it a brilliantly worked move with all three substitutes integral to it, but the celebration highlighted the team spirit Phil Parkinson has created. The 22-year-old striker has had to wait for his chance in the side but took it well on this occasion. To see how much it meant to him and his teammates was a wonderful sight.

Worst moment

Southend away. Do we need to say anymore? A really poor performance, but given the response it looked to be a rare off day. We all know how incredible our home form is, but we look a different side away from the Racecourse and need an emphatic response this month.

Player of the Month

Ollie, Ollie, Ollie.

Palmer has proven his doubters wrong ever since he joined the club and even now he still does things that surprise you. Not only is he a potent finisher with a physical presence up front, but he is also integral to our build-up play and has a wicked burst of pace. His signing unlocked the true potential of Mullin, but he is far from the support act anymore.

An incredible talent and has totally transformed the way we play.
