"It could be deemed as a distraction, but what an amazing distraction it is. You want to play against the best teams and the best players. It's what you work hard for, playing against Premier League teams in the FA Cup. Hopefully we can be there one day and be a premier league team playing someone in the FA Cup too."
"Before the Forest game, the gaffer showed us a lot of clips on the history of Wrexham and some of the big games that happened here many years ago. Hopefully we can use that now, having beaten Forest as another example, so it's another opportunity to create our own history."
Wrexham captain Dominic Hyam discusses the upcoming FA Cup fifth round match against Chelsea at home. Despite the potential distraction from their promotion campaign, Hyam emphasizes the value of competing against top-tier teams and Premier League opposition. Wrexham has won three consecutive Championship games to secure their top-six position while pursuing a fourth successive promotion. Hyam references the club's historical significance and recent victory over Nottingham Forest as motivation to create new memorable moments. He expresses enthusiasm about the opportunity to face world-class players and teams, viewing such matches as the reward for hard work and dedication in professional football.
