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.

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

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

Smith coming on for James.

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’

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

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.

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’

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

McClean extinguishes another Bristol threat and their corner goes nowhere, but you sense we need a change. We’ve gone from setting the pace to trying to keep up.

1-0, Wrexham 61’

ANOTHER miss from Wrexham. Moore with a great chance and he puts it wide. Likely would have been saved, but he’s got to get that on target.

Wrexham are fine going forward today, but are just missing some quality when they get close to goal.

1-0, Wrexham 54’

Great break from Wrexham, but Thomason’s shot was lifted straight over the bar, and Bristol immediately threaten at the other end.

No goal, but you can tell Bristol sense they’re closing in on one.

1-0, Wrexham 52’

Thomason gets away with a blooper to start the second half, losing possession after looking around for the ball.

It was between his legs.

1-0, Wrexham 48’
