Welcome to the Easter sore head edition. Tim, Andy and to a lesser extent Liam hit West Brom hard but like the team, we’ve recovered (well, sort of).

We ask why were Wrexham so passive in the first half and so good in the second. Was Arthur to blame for the first and why was Issa definitely to blame of the second.

But then, the second half - how good was Windass and have we made peace with him not celebrating. We look at two beautiful goals and one amazing, world class save - whatever other people think.

We’ll then look ahead to the Southampton match and ask if we’d change anything (Note: Liam does want to change things). We also ask should Hyam go to the World Cup and examine the women’s team furore over Jodie Bartle’s passionate team talk which drew sexist comments.

Another little bonus for you! In a finance special Liam and Andy are joined by Dan Plumley senior lecturer in football finance at Sheffield Hallam University for a fascinating deep dive into Wrexham AFC’s record-breaking finances.

We delve into the £33.3m turnover, the £14.8m losses and the amazing 57.7% rest of the world revenue. And we ask the big questions such as are Wrexham effectively a Premier League business, does being such a global brand carry risks and is a £70m Kop Stand the only way we can go. We examine the private equity boost from Apollo investments and the £3.8m lost when a broker went bust.

We also look at the £4m paid to Ryan Reynolds’ and Rob Mac’s marketing companies, plus the £2m+ given to promote Welcome to Wrexham and ask is that money well spent.

It’s a fascinating insight into some astounding accounts

She’s one of the stars of Welcome to Wrexham and Rob and Ryan’s official Welsh translator. As a reporter she’s been caught up in coups and visited nuclear disasters but nothing could prepare her for her own battle over the last 18 months.

In a Fearless in Devotion special, Andy and Liam talk to Maxine Hughes as she lifts the lid on her battle with triple negative cancer. She reveals how the Wrexham AFC family helped her - especially Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds.

She also talks how Welcome to Wrexham has changed Wales’ standing on the global stage plus just how long she thinks Ryan and Rob will stay involved with the club - and how it’s dominating their lives

It’s a must listen as Maxine talks so openly and candidly about a range of subjects and gives great insights into how Ryan and Rob work.

The battle for the play-offs is heating up as Wrexham have left the door open to the chasing pack. Andy, Tim and Liam discuss Tuesday’s loss to Watford and ask was it tiredness, or something more?

Who is the most knackered out there and who do we really need back after the international break? But really, is everyone just overreacting and do we need to get real?

We look at the referee’s performance, the race for the play offs and ask if we really had a good transfer window in the cold light of day. We also explore if there’s anyone we can bring in to bolster the squad or is it too late now.

The lads also look ahead to the visit to Sheffield United, the proposed pre-season match with Manchester United and make a call to arms for the big women’s match at the Racecourse.

The Promotion Picture: With Hull losing but Southampton winning and the injury list growing, do we have the depth to secure a play-off spot?

Rumour Mill: We address the wild Philippe Coutinho free agent links - fact or pure fiction?
