Josh Windass might not celebrate when scoring for Wrexham. But don't mistake this for a lack of passion on the part of the #WxmAFC top scorer. Or rule out future celebrations. "I celebrated the last time I scored at Wembley. Maybe I'll do it if we score again." ⬇️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/719...

Wrexham's rivalries with Stockport County and Notts County burnt brightly for a time before fizzling out. Will Birmingham City go the same way? Or is this a tussle that can endure and drive both clubs on? #WxmAFC ⬇️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/718...

A night when the size of the task facing Wrexham in their pursuit of the Premier League was laid bare. #WxmAFC gave it a good go either side of half-time, hitting a post twice and scoring through Josh Windass. But, really, Southampton were just too good. ⬇️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/716...

"Wrexham find a way to win," says Chris Wilder. He has a point. #WxmAFC rode their luck at Sheffield United but still won. Phil Parkinson, like Wilder schooled as a teen at Southampton, has instilled a desire that may well take Wrexham to the Premier League. ⬇️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/713...

Another big win for Wrexham but the loss of control in the second half was a worry. No doubt injured duo Ben Sheaf, out for the season, and Matty James were missed in those second 45 minutes.
