The Wrexham Wreader

Let off for Wrexham, as Preston’s shot goes over both a charging Okonkwo and the bar.

0-1 Wrexham, 23’

Moore receiving treatment to his head after a coming together. Looks like he’ll stay in.

0-1 Wrexham, 21’
#wxmafc #askwxm

Dobson with a block that might as well be a save. 15 minutes in and this match is certainly living up to the billing. End-to-end so far.

0-1 Wrexham, 15’
#wxmafc #askwxm

MOORE HEARD ME! 1-0 Wrexham within five minutes.

It was a gift from poor defending, but hey - we’ll take it.

0-1 Wrexham, 4’
#wxmafc #askwxm

We’re off! Thanks to @kjgully.bsky.social for the lineup correction as Barnett returns to the league XI as well.

Positive start, lads! I likely can’t watch all the second half today, so I could do with a few first half goals, if you don’t mind.

#wxmafc #askwxm

Ah, yes - you’re right. Scanned too quickly

Thomason and O’Brien swap around, but otherwise it’s an unchanged XI for PNE.

FT: 1-1 the final

Wrexham maintain their undefeated streak thanks to a scrappy goal at the death. It looked like it was Cleworth with the final touch, but I’m seeing it scored for Broadhead.

We’ll see what makes the official record, but Wrexham move to 9th on the live table.
#wxmafc #askwxm

CLEWORTH!! EQUALIZER AT THE FINAL THIRTY SECOND!

1-1 - 90+4’
#wxmafc #askwxm

Five minutes added in. Seems like too much…but at the same time it might not be enough for the Reds at this point.

0-1 Blackburn - 90’
#wxmafc #askwxm

Broadhead with a crucial miss. That might have been the moment to equalize.

Smith coming on for James.

0-1 Blackburn - 86’
#wxmafc #askwxm

Wrexham finally finish a cross on target, but it’s right at the keeper and we still trail after 83 minutes.

Still in it, still pushing, but that was our best chance so far.

0-1 Blackburn - 84’
#wxmafc #askwxm

⬅️ McClean
➡️ Barnett

Longman switches to the left.

0-1 Blackburn - 74’
#wxmafc #askwxm

Reds are heating up now, but we still trail with just over twenty minutes to go.

0-1 Blackburn - 69’
#wxmafc #askwxm

Triple sub at the hour mark:
⬅️ O’Brien, Sheaf, Scarr
➡️ Windass, Dobson, Doyle

0-1 Blackburn - 59’
#wxmafc #askwxm

Reds lucky to escape a second goal from the visitors, thanks to a quick-thinking Okonkwo save and a rushed finish from the Rovers on the rebound.

0-1 Blackburn - 57’
#wxmafc #askwxm

10 minutes after the restart and Wrexham are creating more chances, but Blackburn haven’t let up. Difficult to shut them down, difficult to crack that backline.

But the Reds look more confident thus far in the second half.

0-1 Blackburn - 55’
#wxmafc #askwxm

At the break, Reds trail at home. Thus far, no real argument. Wrexham have been a little off the pace, particularly in the final third, and Blackburn have been excellent all over.

Need to refine things if we’re gonna get back in this.

0-1 Blackburn - HT
#wxmafc #askwxm

McClean nearly equalizes, but his quick header hits the side net and goes behind, fooling several fans (myself included) and, briefly, the stadium scoreboard.

0-1 Blackburn - 25’
#wxmafc #askwxm

Gudjohson delivers an impressive header over the defenders and to Okonkwo’s opposite post to give the Rovers an early lead.

Wrexham trail for the first time this month.

0-1 Blackburn - 13’
#wxmafc #askwxm

O’Brien and Matty James swap with Thomason and Dobson on the bench, but otherwise Phil deploys the same squad from Wednesday.

#wxmafc #askwxm

After all the full time whistles, Wrexham move up to tenth. If we can nab all three points on Saturday (and results go our way elsewhere) we could end the weekend in a playoff position.

#wxmafc #askwxm

FT: 2-0 Reds

Okonkwo keeps his fourth-straight clean sheet and Wrexham move to ninth on the table. Elsewhere, Blackburn — who Wrexham play Saturday — lose to QPR.

#wxmafc #askwxm

Thomason makes a block with the back of his head and receives treatment, but looks like he’s alright as we move into five minutes of stoppage time.

2-0 Wrexham, 90’
#wxmafc #askwxm

⬅️ Moore
➡️ Smith

2-0 Wrexham, 81’
#wxmafc #askwxm

THOMASON, STRAIGHT FROM THE CORNER!

First goal from George in Wrexham red…except the final touch looks like it came off the keeper. Probably an own goal, but at least Wrexham have some breathing room.

2-0 Wrexham, 74’
#wxmafc #askwxm

Windass, barely on the pitch, joins the ranks of Wrexham players that probably should have scored.

1-0, Wrexham 68’

#wxmafc #askwxm

Phil makes his first swap:
➡️ M. James, Broadhead
⬅️ Sheaf, Windass

1-0, Wrexham 67’
