Wrexham will need to be much improved when they return to League One action on Friday afternoon.

The Welsh outfit have seen their six-point lead over Wycombe Wanderers reduced to just one in the space of a week.

Wycombe won their game in hand against Huddersfield Town before then beating Stevenage 1-0 on April 12.

As for Wrexham, they had a full week to rest after beating Burton Albion last weekend but couldn’t get the job done against Wigan Athletic.

The Red Dragons didn’t have a single shot on goal across the 90 minutes, seeing them draw 0-0 with Wigan Athletic and open the door for the Chairboys to get firmly back into the race for second.

Andy Morrell reacts to Wrexham draw with Wigan Athletic

Wrexham are still favourites to win promotion ahead of Wycombe following the draw, but it does feel like two points were dropped rather than one gained.

However, with four games to go and the Red Dragons, on paper, having an easier run-in, there is still plenty of optimism around the club.

On this front, Wrexham legend Andy Morrell took to social media post-Wigan to issue a rousing message to fans.

However, he also conceded that Phil Parkinson’s side did not deserve the three points on Saturday.

He wrote: “Frustrating game as we really never got going and didn’t deserve 3 pts! Difficult to pick MOM. However a point closer and still in our hands. Let’s take the roof off at home on Friday! It’s still on!”

Wrexham’s normal 2024/25 season then comes to an end on May 3 away to Lincoln City.
