Last updated : 17 October 2007 By Jaybee

This Saturday, the Bees travel to the Racecourse Ground in North Wales, home of Wrexham. The Dragons are managed by Brian Carey who took over as manager in January this year. Carey has had a difficult baptism as manager having rescued Wrexham from relegation to the Conference last season by the skin of their teeth, they now find themselves third from bottom with just 9 points from 10 matches played. Last Saturday they let a 2 goal lead slip at Macclesfield losing 3-2 in the dying seconds.

However, since returning to the League two seasons ago, Barnet have not beaten the Dragons with Wrexham winning 2 games and the other two being drawn. You can read more about these matches by clicking on the 'we've met before' link.
