The League Two promotion race took a twist on Tuesday night as Mansfield Town lost to Milton Keynes Dons with Wrexham watching on.
The business end of the season is now here.
We are into March and each game feels enormous – especially when chasing promotion, as Wrexham are right now.
This has been a welcome midweek off for Wrexham after a busy schedule of late, but other League Two teams have been in action.
The big game saw Mansfield Town take on Milton Keynes Dons – and the result has blown the promotion race wide open.
League Two promotion race takes another twist as Wrexham watch on
League leaders Mansfield took the lead through Stephen Quinn but saw MK Dons roar back.
Alex Gilbey levelled it up before finding a second-half winner through Matthew Dennis.
That is just a fifth defeat of the season for the Stags and the result has huge ramifications.
On the one hand, the result means that Wrexham are still only three points behind Mansfield as they blow their game in hand over Phil Parkinson’s men.
The flip side is that MK Dons winning the game catapults them right into the automatic promotion mix, even if they have played one game more than Wrexham and Mansfield.
We now have Mansfield top of the table on 66 points with Stockport County and Wrexham just behind them on 63.
Crewe Alexandra and MK Dons are now locked on 61, meaning just five points separate the top five.
Wrexham will feel comfortable right now; six of the final 11 games will be at home and nobody in League Two is better at home.
There will be twists and turns to come in the final weeks of the campaign but the optimistic Wrexham fans among us may be eyeing up top spot rather than worrying about MK Dons coming up behind.
