National League October Manager of the Month:
Sam Ricketts – Wrexham
After missing out on the play-offs in recent seasons, Wrexham are dreaming big again thanks to their new manager.
Talk about hitting the ground running. Since being appointed in the summer Sam Ricketts has taken next to no time to get his feet under the table in north Wales.
Now sitting top of the fifth tier, October was a month Wrexham earned National League victories over Havant & Waterlooville, Dagenham & Redbridge and Hartlepool United.
Ricketts also did what no manager has done for three years at the Racecourse Ground – his side progressed to the first round of the FA Cup, defeating title rivals Harrogate Town over two sticky ties.
Ricketts has installed a winning formula at Wrexham and the Club are enjoying their best start to a season for some time.
Can Ricketts be the man to take Wrexham back to the fourth tier, ten years after they said goodbye?
