  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Phil Parkinson's side bounced back from a shock home defeat to Stevenage last time out by beating Crawley Town 2-1 on Saturday. Matty James had put the visitors ahead but they looked set to drop points again when Crawley equalised in the 90th minute. However, Wrexham refused to be denied and hit back with a winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time through Elliot Lee.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  It's a much-needed win for Wrexham after a tricky patch of form and means they now sit four points off Wycombe in second place in the table. Leaders Birmingham remain favourites for promotion as they are eights points clear of the Welsh side and have two games in hand on both Wrexham and Wycombe.
