Eastleigh have announced that Joe McDonnell has signed a new contract to extend his stay at the Silverlake Stadium. The keeper, who has made 138 appearances for The Spitfires since joining in 2020 has had his best season to date, with his performances being rewarded with a new contract. Keeping the most clean sheets (17) in the league, Eastleigh will no doubt be wanting more of the same next…

Wrexham VS Eastleigh - 6 August 2022

Hello and welcome to this review of the opening day clash in the Vanarama National League between Wrexham and Eastleigh. I am DanTheManNW, I wrote football reviews back in the 2018-19 season. The football club has changed a lot since my last review, we got new owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who are fantastic, you can see this in the club’s new documentary, Welcome to Wrexham, later this month.

If you are reading this review and you don’t know who I am. I am a student at Glyndwr University in Wrexham reading a games development on the games programming path. I am also one of the Grads in the Games student ambassadors at the university, helping my fellow students to break into the industry. Why am I writing a football review? I started writing reviews and football data as part of my involvement with Wrexham Inclusion FC. I am a big believer in trying different things to have variety in my life. I am also a season ticket holder in Mold Road Stand as I am a power chair user, it’s my second year of being a holder. 

As I am in a powerchair, I have never thought it would be possible to play for Wrexham. However, the club runs a powerchair football team, and I am part of the team. It will be the first proper season after starting last October.

Wrexham started their pre-season against Nantwich Town on 16 July away at Weaver Stadium. The friendly was booked after they kindly let the club host the fourth qualifying round of FA Cup replay against Marine at the host’s (Nantwich) stadium. They won the friendly 2 - 5 with goals from Aaron Hayden, an unnamed trialist, Kai Evans, Liam McAlinden and Paul Mullin before the team set off for two games in Alicante, Spain.

In their first game in Alicante, they played CD Leganes, who plays in Segunda Divison in Spain. I think it is equivalent to Championship in England as it’s the second highest league in the country. They lost 2 - 0 to the Spanish side. 

Next up is Nottingham Forest under 21s, who in Professional Development League in England. Whereas Forest’s main team plays in Premier League. The game ended as a 1-1 draw with Luke Young scoring from a penalty.

Wrexham played Premier League side Manchester United in a behind-closed-doors friendly at United’s training Carrington. They lost 4 - 1, but it was a good run out against 13 times Premier League champions. Wrexham defender Aaron Hayden scored the only goal, and he did the SIU celebration in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, who famously do the celebration after he scored a goal, he wasn’t playing in that match. I got the information of Hayden doing the celebration of the Rob Ryan Red, a Wrexham fan podcast.

Their penultimate game in pre-season was against Macclesfield at home. I went to the game, it was great to be at the Racecourse again. They won 4 - 0 with goals from Ollie Palmer, James Jones, Luke Young and Tom O’Connor. I like how the goalkeeper Mark Howard played, and he was very demanding of the home’s outfield players. You need that in a goalkeeper because they can see the whole pitch. 

For their last pre-season, Wrexham travelled to Caernarfon to face Caernarfon Town. It was the first time they would face another Welsh side in pre-season, and as there’s no other Welsh side in the league, it was the only time this season league-wise. However, it was a bad day at the office for the visitors, or should I say night, as they lost 2 - 0. To make matters worse, Christian Dibble got injured when the first goal went in. Speedy recovery Dibble, if you are reading this.

To the matchday now and I go to matches with my mum and Nana. We took the bus in and out of Wrexham, we went to Turf for a drink. It’s a pub next to the stadium, and starting from this season, they have a fan zone with live entertainment and different acts each matchday before the match. Sidekicks were performing this time.

We had score predictions before the match, and even before lineups were announced, I went for 3 - 0, Mum said 2 - 1, and Nana said 1 - 0.

Howard

Forde

Hayden

If you read my old match reviews, I went in-depth on the match, but I have decided I would write my reviews or a blog as a fan and let the rest write the full report on other platforms.

It only took the visitors 14 minutes to take the lead, thanks to Langston. I thought, who needs a gold trophy because everyone knows Wrexham will win the league this season, it’s only the case of how. Gold trophy is when a team win the league unbeaten. Palmer only came in January after Mullin signed in the summer last year, so they haven’t been together for a year yet.

However, it was a summer signing (this year), Elliot Lee scoring the 2 goals to win for Wrexham after coming off the bench. What surprised me, I thought the Racecourse was packed and over 10,000 fans in the stadium. However, the official attendance was 9,897 with 82 travelling fans.

Wrexham managed to go up 7th in the league. However, it doesn’t really mean much as it was the opening game of the season. The league takes shape after one or two months as games come thick and fast in their league. They will be on road for two games against Yeovil and then Chesterfield.

I am going on the club’s accessible away travel to Chesterfield, so expect to hear from me from that game. Wrexham is back at home on 20 August when they face Maidstone. I might do two games in one review.
