It’s possible, but that would be pretty surprising
Edit: if you are a player considering signing for Wrexham, then you are going in knowing that you are joining a team where a documentary is a key part of the strategy. You’ll be on it. You’ll be doing tours to the USA and Australia. It’s part of the job at Wrexham
I’ve been a huge fan of the documentary since the beginning and now actively follow the team/never miss a match
With the season now ‘over’ on the documentary, this is the first time where I’ve felt the documentary does a very poor job representing what was actually happening.
The story of the season was undoubtably the massive amounts of new players and integrating them into the squad. But if you watch the documentary, only Windass & Moore are highlighted repeatedly.
-Broadhead got one ~5 minute segment and is the clubs record signing.
-Dom Hyam captained the team almost from the beginning, yet his name wasn’t mentioned once. He was never on camera.
-Callum Doyle was player of the season and undoubtably the best player on the team. He was never interviewed once nor mentioned (outside of being on the iPad Michael Williamson was using to scout players.)
This is very counter to previous seasons that always highlighted key players
I enjoy the segments on the women’s team, the town, and other members of the club like Whitey and Trina. Historically, those segments are well woven in with the overall story.
But it really feels like the documentary did a very poor job this season of telling the story
I’ve been criticized for saying this before but Kieffer unfortunately should not be the top choice striker at his age.
He is a very physical player, older, and a big man. That is a recipe for injuries and missed time
My strong suspicion is Wrexham bring in a top-flight striker and Kieffer moves to Fletcher role.
I also believe AO will likely be sold and a new keeper found
Wrexham had a phenomenal season and just missing the playoffs is a great outcome
However, don’t forget:
-last year’s player of the season (Ollie) missed the first few months
-Sheaf, the second or third highest paid transfer, missed the run in
-Libby missed effectively the whole season
-Kieffer missed significant time
-Kabore missed time
-Ward missed most of the season, and it seem Parky would have preferred him
If any one of these injuries didn’t happen, Wrexham might have had 2 more points and been in the playoffs
My strong hunch is Wrexham gets more depth this transfer window so injuries hurt less, plus a star striker
*edit: the role injuries PLAYED
