Wrexham 1-1 Wolves: Red Dragons Collect 4 Points In Last Two Games.

Wrexham go into the November international break with a 1–1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers, rounding off a week in which they took four points from two demanding home games.

Three days after beating Middlesbrough at the STōK Cae Ras, Phil Parkinson’s side faced another team pushing near the top of the Championship. Wolves arrived on the back of a comeback win at Bristol City and gave Wrexham a different test, forcing the hosts to respond after falling behind and asking questions of them again late on.

There was enough in the performance for Parkinson to take encouragement, even if Wrexham were left to wonder what might have been. They had a chance to turn one point into three before the visitors finished the stronger of the two sides. After back-to-back away defeats without scoring, the way Wrexham responded across these two home games gives them something to build on when the Championship resumes.

Callum Doyle tested José Sá early after intercepting a pass near halfway, but Wolves grew into the game and took the lead in the 25th minute. Nasser Djiga split Wrexham’s defence with a long pass, allowing Adam Armstrong to finish first time beyond the advancing Anthony Patterson.

Wrexham replied two minutes later when Issa Kaboré crossed from the right and Lewis O’Brien powered a header past Sá.

Ollie Rathbone dragged an effort narrowly wide as the hosts pushed for a second, while Sá saved from O’Brien in stoppage time to send the sides into the break level at 1–1.

Wrexham threatened straight after the restart when Kieffer Moore escaped his marker and sent a low cross just beyond George Dobson. 
Moore had an even better chance on the hour, sliding his finish wide from six yards after meeting Callum Doyle’s free-kick. Wolves pushed Wrexham deeper as the half wore on, and Anthony Patterson preserved the point with a sharp save, tipping Fer López’s header around the post after a cross from substitute Rafiki Saïd. Patterson also kept out Tommy Doyle’s long-range effort before Marshall Munetsi turned Hugo Bueno’s cross over the bar as the visitors pressed for a late winner.

A well-deserved four points from the previous two fixtures will leave Phil Parkinson happier heading into the international break.

Wrexham sit 15th in the Championship after Saturday’s lunchtime fixtures, with 18 points from 15 games. Phil Parkinson’s side have won four, drawn six and lost five, and were seven points behind sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion after taking four points from their home games against Middlesbrough and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Wrexham return from the international break with back-to-back away games, starting at Lincoln City on Saturday, 21 November. Phil Parkinson’s side then travel to Ashton Gate to face Bristol City on Tuesday, 24 November, before hosting Portsmouth at the STōK Cae Ras on Saturday, 28 November. 

Wolves return from the international break with two games at Molineux, welcoming Charlton Athletic on 21 November before Derby County visit three days later. César Peixoto’s side then travel to Lincoln City for a lunchtime kick-off on 28 November, a week after Wrexham make the same trip.

Having ended Saturday’s lunchtime fixtures third in the Championship, Wolves have two home games to build on that position before heading to Lincoln.
