Another clean sheet, another masterclass from AO 🧱🔥

That early save set the tone for the match; calm hands, sharp focus, pure class.

Arthur Okonkwo takes #WTSMOTM yet again, proving he deserves his spot between the posts.

#WTSMOTM #WxmThirstSection #WxmAFC
Arthur Okonkwo stands tall in mint green under the Racecourse lights, gloves clasped in his hands, the calm after another storm he refused to let in. His braids frame a face that has a look of quiet fire — the kind that says, “Not in my house." AO’s numbers tell the story of quiet dominance: four saves, three inside the box, and a perfect clean sheet. He didn’t have to act the hero; he just made every crucial moment look routine. A composed and efficient performance carried out with control and confidence.

Another clean sheet, another statement: this “circus” knows how to perform. 🥈 Issa Kaboré – 14.3% Full of pace, power, and pure chaos in the best way. He kept Charlton’s wings clipped all night. 🥉 George Dobson & Josh Windass – 10.7% each Dobson bossed the midfield, while Windass brought energy and grit up top plus that match winning goal! Both vital pieces in a proper team win. 💬 Write-ins: “Arthur, but honourable mention to Parky’s excitement and Kaboré’s shorts.” (Peak Section energy.) “The Thirst Section collective as I inadvertently insulted many of you today.” (We forgive. Probably.) “Nathan’s Nose Candy.” (No notes — pure chaos.)

#WTSMOTM | AO owns the night.
Seven saves. Zero goals conceded. Arthur Okonkwo was an unshakable wall of composure and reflex.

When Portsmouth pressed, AO stood firm. Calm. Focused. Unmoved.

#WxmThirstSection #WxmAFC #AskWxm
Arthur Okonkwo stands under the floodlights in his slate-grey kit, gloves in hand, calm as stone after a clean sheet against Portsmouth. His face carved with focus, the kind that makes strikers hesitate and Section hearts skip several beats. Every movement radiating quiet command, every save still echoing in the stands. Portsmouth couldn’t find a way past him. And honestly, neither could we. Nor would we want to.🫦

#WTSMOTM | Scarsie stands tall.

Dan Scarr brought damn near perfection to the defense. 23/25 passes complete (92%), 11 clearances, 6 aerial duels won. A fortress at the back, a menace in the air and barely a hair out of place. Not to mention them abs. 🫦

#WxmThirstSection #WxmAFC #AskWxm
Dan Scarr stands tall under the floodlights in the yellow and green Wrexham away kit, every muscle defined under fabric like it was tailored by the gods of defense themselves. Eyes sharp, legs set, and abs definitely plotting how to assist AO in a clean sheet. There’s no nonsense here, just a man and a football, looking like he could clear both the ball and your heart without breaking a sweat. Although we do not mind when he sweats. Not at all. 🫦

🗳️ WTSMOTM Results — 31 Oct: Wrexham 3–2 Coventry City

A famous night at the Racecourse — the kind fans will talk about for years. Wrexham beat the league leaders. Clear Statement: WE BELONG HERE. The Section left no doubt about who made it possible. #WTSMOTM #WxmThirstSection #WxmAFC #AskWxm
🥇 Kieffer Moore: 87.5% Utter domination on and off the ball. And off the chart. Moore’s perfect hat trick (left foot, right foot, and header) sealed Wrexham’s biggest result of the season thus far. His performance wasn’t just efficient, it was emphatic. The Section poured their votes his way in near-unanimous agreement: a towering display worthy of top billing. 🥈 George Thomason, James McClean, ‘The Whole Team’, and 'Hat trick boys! Kieffer AND Josh': 3.1% each. A nod to Thomason's drive, McClean's leadership and presence even when off the pitch. The whole team because when the opposition is sitting atop the Championship and you walk away with three goals, you earn collective credit. Every man on the pitch fought for every blade of grass. And lastly a nod to the dream duo in attack, Moore & Windass. Even though the spotlight was all on Moore, the Section clearly hasn’t forgotten Windass’ tireless pressing and chaos-creating runs that made the space for Moore to do his thing. 🧠 Takeaway This wasn’t just a statement win — it was a signature one. There will always be doubters, but we know who we are and what we’re capable of. Tonight proved it — we belong here, and we played like Champions. And in the center of it all stood Kieffer Moore relentless under the massive floodlights, the new standard-bearer of the club’s ambition.

WREXHAM. BEAT. THE. LEAGUE. LEADERS. 😤🔥

Kieffer Moore bags a perfect hat trick, left, right, and a thumping header, to stun Coventry and send the Racecourse into chaos.

Ruthless. Relentless. Red.

#WTSMOTM #WxmThirstSection #WxmAFC #AskWxm
Man of the Match: Kieffer Moore ⚽⚽⚽ Kieffer Moore stands beneath the floodlights, trophy in one hand and match ball in the other, smile shining bright enough to rival those massive floodlights. The red kit clings to tired shoulders, and his hair glistens — the perfect picture of power and poise. The giant up front delivered a classic. A perfect hat trick — left foot, right foot, and header — to topple the league leaders and shake the Racecourse. Every finish was clinical. Every header commanding. Every celebration pure catharsis. 📊 Key Stats Minutes: 90 Goals: 3 (L / R / Header – the full set) Shots on target: 4/4 (100%) Passes: 17/26 (65%) Aerial duels won: 7/11 (64%) Moore’s finishing wasn’t just sharp — it was inevitable. He overpowered defenders in the air, picked his moments perfectly, and turned half-chances into highlights. Pic is from Wrexham AFC IG.

Okonkwo stole the show, but this poll reflects a collective pride in a disciplined, organized performance. Holding the #2 Championship team to a draw wasn’t about luck it was structure, sweat, and a keeper who looked practically untouchable. #WTSMOTM #WxmThirstSection #WxmAFC #AskWxm
🗳️ WTSMOTM Results — 25 Oct: Middlesbrough vs Wrexham A gritty draw against high-flying Championship opposition, and the Section knew exactly who to thank for it --> the man between the posts. 🥇 Arthur Okonkwo — 25.9% Top of the poll and deservedly so. Arthur’s cool-headed command of the box and sharp reactions were the foundation of this result. One fans’ wording —> “Arthur ‘tucks it in his sock’ Okonkwo” <— says it all: a mix of admiration, humor, and thirst in equal measure. His stats underline a complete goalkeeper’s display. Calm, efficient, unshakable. 🥈 Josh Windass — 22.2% A major attacking outlet all match, drawing defenders and constantly threatening on the break. Windass brought the spark. 🥉 George Thomason — 14.8% Controlled the middle of the pitch with maturity, steady passing, disciplined pressing, and clear intent in possession. ⚖️ Strong Support (7.4% each) Max Cleworth: quietly assured at the back, composed under pressure.

Lastly, a shoutout to James McClean (AHA!) still on our minds and in our hearts!

Wrexham went toe-to-toe with the second-place Championship team, Middlesbrough, and came away with a draw. 💪

Pure composure. Pure class. 🧤🔴🐉🔥

#WTSMOTM #WxmThirstSection #WxmAFC #AskWxm
Arthur Okonkwo stands tall in his luminous kit, sunlight glinting off his gloves as he surveys the pitch. Shoulders squared, jaw set, and calm radiating off him — the kind of focus that turns a goal line into a fortress. Power in poise, confidence in motion. Against Middlesbrough, the second-place Championship side, Wrexham held firm, thanks in large part to Arthur Okonkwo’s composed, commanding presence in goal. His sharp reads, clean handling, and confidence under pressure kept the match level and the away end buzzing. Okonkwo showed range — strong distribution, confident decision-making, and big moments in front of goal. We love you AO!!!

Cacace’s home debut dominance made him the standout, but the distribution of votes across multiple players shows how complete the team’s performance was. The humor and affection in the “Sam Smith” vote underlines the current Wrexham vibe of a squad that can win games AND hearts.
🗳️ WTSMOTM Results — 22 Oct: Wrexham vs Oxford United After a confident 1–0 win, the votes reflected the night’s energy, a blend of admiration for a composed home debut and appreciation for fan favorites who left it all on the pitch. 🥇 Liberato Cacace — 20.0%. The clear top vote-getter. Libby’s home debut performance struck a chord. Full of drive, balance, and controlled aggression down the flank. Affection turned into voting momentum, and the stats back it up: 88 minutes, 60 touches, and constant forward pressure. 🥈 Issa Kaboré, Nathan Broadhead, Arthur Okonkwo, Max Cleworth, and Kieffer Moore with 12.0% each. A six-way tie. Kaboré and Cleworth anchored the shape; Okonkwo handled his duties calmly between the posts; Broadhead and Moore brought creative spark. A strong collective showing, reflecting a full-team performance where nearly every area of the pitch delivered. 🥉 George Dobson — 8.0%. The midfield workhorse continues to pull quiet recognition for his tireless press and positional awareness. 🧃 Special Mentions (and Fan Favorites) “The thirst-inducing, hunk of a man, Sam Smith” — 4.0%. Every match needs a touch of chaos and a bit of charm. The Wrexham faithful remain hydrated, it seems. Dom Hyam & Matty James — 4.0% each.

Wrexham take all three points and a hot home debut earns the spotlight.🔥

Your #WTSMOTM Libby Cacace was everywhere on his home debut: 88 minutes of drive, grit, and composure down the flank.

No goals, no problem. The crowd’s already his. ❤️‍🔥

#WxmThirstSection #WxmAFC #AskWxm #AltText
Liberato Cacace in motion under the Racecourse lights, curls of hair damp with effort, eyes locked on the ball at his feet. His shoulders square and his stride smooth, the kind of poised athleticism that makes the whole pitch seem to tilt toward him. On his home debut, Libby impressed both on and off the ball; sharp in possession, fearless in forward runs, and completely embraced by the home crowd. He didn’t get on the scoresheet, but his influence radiated down the flank all night. Strong, industrious, not all flash, but full of intent and control. Cacace’s performance was one of energy and confidence. He read the game well, made dangerous forays into the box, and absorbed physical pressure without losing composure. The left flank is in good hands (and feet). 📊 Key Stats Minutes: 88 Accurate passes: 21/28 (75%) Chances created: 1 Touches: 60 (6 in the opposition box) Recoveries: 5 Fouled: 3 times. Oxford clearly didn’t have an answer for him.

A rough one on the road at Stoke, but Okonkwo stood tall between the posts.🧤

AO takes #WTSMOTM with 31% of the vote, while Rathbone’s grit on the bench earned him a strong second.

The rest of the votes? Let’s just say Wrex the Dragon and Arthur's goalpost made the cut. Laughing through the pain.
📊 WTS MOTM — 18 Oct 2025: Stoke City vs Wrexham It was a tough one for Wrexham, and the votes show the mood spread wide across the team (and beyond), with a few tongue-in-cheek nods to the chaos of the day. 🥇 Arthur Okonkwo — 31.3% Despite the loss, the keeper clearly impressed the supporters most. Okonkwo’s shot-stopping and composure under pressure earned him nearly a third of all votes, a standout in a frustrating afternoon. 🥈 Ollie Rathbone — 25.0% Rathbone’s tireless bench warming work didn’t go unnoticed — he fought hard in a losing effort and picked up a quarter of the vote. ☑️ Shared 6.3% each Ryan Barnett Nathan Broadhead Max Cleworth Ben Sheaf Sam Smith’s Socks (a new fan favorite?)
