Are Wrexham bottling it?! Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney’s side suffer blow to automatic League Two promotion hopes in poor defeat to mid-table Doncaster

Fans at the Eco-Power Stadium were put through something of a non-event for the first 40 minutes, with neither side capable of creating any clear-cut chances early on. But it was eventually Doncaster who sparked the game into life when Maxime Biamou wasted a chance on the volley after Luke Molyneux's superb through ball. A hectic final five minutes followed with the home side getting the just rewards for their pressure. Owen Bailey capitalised on some hesitancy from Arthur Okonkwo to head home at the back post and make it 1-0.Phil Parkinson's side were content with letting Doncaster keep the ball in the first 45 but they came out a changed side at the break. Their more direct approach almost sprouted an immediate equaliser, with Will Boyle failing to do what Bailey had and inexplicably heading wide at the back post. Doncaster came back, though, and were only thwarted from adding to the scoreline from Okonkwo's impressive efforts. Paul Mullin thought he had rescued it late on but his goal was ruled out for offside, as the away side tried - in vain - to find an equaliser. After 15 shots Wrexham, somehow, registered just one on target, as their automatic promotion hopes took a significant blow.

TELL ME MORE

Defeat for Wrexham means Doncaster's insane recent record continues. They remain one of League Two's most in-form sides with Tuesday's 1-0 win their eighth in their last 12 matches. They have lost just once in that time.

DID YOU KNOW?

Okonkwo may have done marginally better for Doncaster's goal, but the on-loan Arsenal goalkeeper kept the scores from becoming embarrassing in the second half. He made countless big saves - the standouts being to deny Richard Wood and Molyneux - to keep the home side at bay. His efforts were simply not matched by Wrexham's misfiring forwards, who had a day to forget in front of goal.

THE MVP

Wrexham's frontline were at fault for a dismal shooting record on Tuesday night, although the one big miss came from a defender. Boyle had an absolute nightmare while up for a set piece, heading a completely free header wide from barely six yards out. He was put out of his misery on 61 minutes but the damage had already been done, with the miss turning out to be costly in the eventual 1-0 scoreline.

THE BIG LOSER

The result is a tough one to take for Wrexham, as they miss out on the chance to go second in the league table after a poor showing away from home. They will hope to bounce back in their next match on Saturday, which comes against 23rd-ranked Colchester.
