After an impressive display against Middlesbrough, the Reds dropped the ball against their Welsh rivals. Wrecaps from last week’s loaded schedule and an update on Lewis Brunt await in this week’s Wreader: #wxmafc #askwxm

Wrexham get a last minute corner but it’s cut short by a foul and the final whistle is right behind. Cardiff advance to the quarter finals and Wrexham’s cup run ends with a disappointing performance. 1-2 Cardiff, FT #wxmafc #askwxm

⬅️ Coady, Barnett ➡️ Hardie, Kabore 1-2 Cardiff, 77’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Cardiff with a great free kick set piece and are able to sneak one in. 1-2 Cardiff, 71’ #wxmadc #askwxm

Moore down. Looks like a shoulder/elbow issue. Let’s hope it’s not serious. 1-1, 57’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Moore gets Wrexham back in it! All even with 40 minutes left to play. 1-1, 52’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Windass, Moore, and Marty James come on for Broadhead, Smith, and Rathbone to start the second half. 0-1 Cardiff, 46’ #wxmafc #askwxm

A very disappointing first half. Cardiff have bested us in pretty much all categories and our chances have been few and far between. I’m hoping to see some changes heading into the second half. 0-1 Cardiff, HT #wxmafc #askwxm

Promising moment for Wrexham, but Broadhead rushed his strike and missed a good opportunity…and Cardiff take advantage of it, running the ball back and scoring. Burton made a good save but he didn’t have the defenders to prevent the second strike. 0-1 Cardiff, 13’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Captain Cleworth: a sight I wouldn’t mind getting used to. #wxmafc #askwxm

Update: Sheaf scratched from the bench. #wxmafc #askwxm

Very intriguing lineup for the cup today: Rathbone returns, as does Coady while Thomason appears to be in the back line. Should be a fun one! #wxmafc #askwxm

FT: 1-1 I was able to watch more than I thought and I have to say: Wrexham were excellent. Unlucky not to win it but Middlesbrough take advantage of our lone moment of defensive sleepiness to equalize. Still: not many pundits expected the match we were gifted today. Well done, lads! #wxmafc #askw

Thomason stays in the XI while Broadhead and Cacace slip back to the bench. I assume Phil is reversing the time split between him and Windass from Wednesday, because Broady was excellent. I’ll be traveling during the match, unfortunately, but will watch what I can! Up the town! #wxmafc #askwxm

Wrexham survive the blow from Doyle’s red card to secure the first home win of the season! 1-0, Wrexham - FT #wxmafc #askwxm

OFF THE BAR! Smith nearly secured the win as we move to stoppage time. Damn. 1-0, Wrexham - 89’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Red card for Doyle. No real argument here, unfortunately. Doyle’s been good today, but that was reckless and now we’re in a rough position for the remainder of this one. Lewis Brunt coming on for Thomason. 1-0, Wrexham - 68’ #wxmafc #askwxm

⬅️ Broadhead ➡️ Windass I assume Phil is trying to preserve some energy for both players for Saturday, because Broadhead’s been excellent today. 1-0, Wrexham - 60’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Halftime. Wrexham lead by one, but Broadhead’s goal was far from the only highlight for the Reds. More of this in the second half, please. 1-0, Wrexham - HT #wxmafc #askwxm

Broadhead makes his case early! Goal for Wrexham early after sustained pressure. Keep it rolling, boys! 1-0, Wrexham -14’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Wrexham with an aggressive, threatening approach in the first seven minutes. Solidly with the upper hand in the early stages. 0-0, 7’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Btw: never posted today’s Wrexham Wreader here: Multiple mistakes led to Wrexham's fourth loss of the season, but today should deliver a more promising matchup ahead of a very tough stretch. #wxmafc #askwxm

Broadhead comes in and Windass moves to the bench. Don’t think this will be a two-striker system today, but it may shift to that with Smith and Hardie on the bench. Should be an interesting one, but with the top two teams in the league on deck…we really do need a win today. #wxmafc #askwxm

Final: 1-0 Stoke. Wrexham failed to the make the most of the few opportunities they earned and we drop - for the moment - to 18th on the live table. #wxmafc #askwxm

Longman’s unbelievable miss comes back to haunt us as Stoke take the lead. 1-0 Stoke - 36’ #askwxm #wxmafc

🚨 RATHBONE ON THE BENCH 🚨 #wxmafc #askwxm

While it was an off week for the men, the women of #Wrexham continued their strong start to the season. Now the men's squad prepares for what should be an intense match against Stoke City. This week's Wrexham Wreader newsletter is here: bit.ly/4nTZbYp #wxmafc #askwxm

Wrexham head into the international break still in search of that first Racecourse win. Meanwhile, the Women's squad have a blockbuster match on tap. Read this week's Wreader: #askwxm #wxmafc

Third straight 1-1 finish sees us into the international break. A disappointing finish after a strong start. 1-1, FT’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Birmingham scores, but are ruled offside. Phil just brought on more reinforcements to try to win this. 1-1, 83’ #wxmafc #askwxm

⬅️ Windass, Sheaf ➡️ Broadhhead, James 1-1, 70’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Wrexham are growing into the half, but need to click further up the pitch. 1-1, 61’ #wxmafc #askwxm

The second half barely begins and Birmingham have struck back. Defensive breakdown. 1-1, 45’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Kabore and Windass combine and nearly score. Both sides playing aggressively, but Wrexham are a bit more dangerous to my eye. 1-0, Wrexham - 36’ #wxmafc #askwxm

O’Brien nearly doubled our total as the Reds take advantage of a mistake from Birmingham. 1-0, Wrexham - 18’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Wrexham take an early lead thanks to a combination of headers from Cleworth and Dobson off a corner! 1-0, Wrexham - 12’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Doyle and Brunt swap places once again, but otherwise it's an unchanged XI from Tuesday. Let's get after it, lads! #wxmafc #askwxm

After a solid performance against Leicester, Wrexham should be full of confidence heading into the first "Hollywood Derby" of the season. Catch up on our last two matches and the latest Wrexham news in this week's Wrexham Wreader. #wxmafc #askwxm

1-1, FT Wrexham shock the Foxes (and many pundits) with an excellent display against the promotion favorites to take home a point…with several close calls toward the end where they nearly won it. A statement of a match from Parkinson’s boys. #wxmafc #askwxm

Broadhead nearly scored a second just as four minutes of stoppage time are announced. Really thought it was going in. Wow, what a match it’s been. Wrexham fight on. 1-1, 90’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Final sub for Wrexham: ⬇️ Moore ⬆️ Smith 1-1, 82’ #wxmafc #askwxm

As we enter the final fifteen minutes, Broadhead knots it up after sustained pressure! An excellent finish from a tight angle after receiving O’Brien’s pass. Reds are looking good at the moment and Leicester look caught off guard. 1-1 - 76’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Another set of subs - fresh legs in the wings: ⬇️ Kabore, Longman ⬆️ McClean, Barnett 1-0, Leicester - 73’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Subs: ⬇️ Sheaf , Windass ⬆️ James, Broadhead 1-0, Leicester - 61’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Second half kicks off and Windass is still on the pitch, so that’s a good sign. Last thing we need is another injury layoff for him. 1-0, Leicester - 53’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Windass down after a collision - looks like his ankle was stepped on. 1-0, Leicester - 44’ #wxmafc #askwxm

The Foxes pull off a really smooth move to bypass the Wrexham defense and have taken the lead. 1-0, Leicester - 20’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Twenty minutes in and both side have missed some big chances, but Wrexham are holding their own against a confident Leicester City side. 0-0, 20’ #wxmafc #askwxm

Unchanged XI for today’s clash with Leicester. #wxmafc #askwxm

Wrexham given a free kick in a good position. Wall does its job and Wrexham’s ensuing corner goes nowhere in what was essentially the last action of the game. On the whole, a draw feels appropriate but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping for a win ahead of Leicester. 1-1, FT #wxmafx #askwxm
