Wrexham saw their chances of securing promotion to the Championship automatically dealt a big blow on Saturday……………..
After defeating Burton Albion the previous time out, Wrexham had gone six points clear of third-place Wycombe Wanderers. It’s amazing how things can change in just seven days.
The Chairboys appeared to be struggling, while the Red Dragons appeared to be headed for second place.
However, Wycombe defeated Stevenage by a goal to zero on Saturday after defeating Huddersfield Town in their game in hand earlier this week.
The two teams are currently only one point apart after Wrexham and Wigan Athletic drew 0-0 at the same time.
Mikde Dodds, the manager of Wycombe, has stated that the fight for second place is likely to be fierce, with four games left in the season.
Wycombe Wanderers boss on promotion race after closing gap on Wrexham
Robbie Savage backs Wrexham to get promoted despite their blip on April 12, which saw them fail to have a single shot on goal.
On paper, Wycombe have a tougher ended to the campaign but with a better goal difference and just one point in it, anything could happen.
Now, as per Bucks Free Press, manager Dodds has commented on the promption battle, inisting that his team are still in it.
He said: “I thought the results against Shrewsbury and Reading were harsh as we had decisions go against us, so we deserved that today for those two games.
“From my point of view, after Reading, everyone thought that was it as Wycombe were wobbling but we’ve shown in the last two games we are capable of big performances and we’re still in it.
“We created chances and at this stage of the season, the first goal is vital and the longer it was 0-0, they made it hard for us.”
Phil Parkinson on Wrexham promotion chances
Despite dropping two points, Wrexham are predicted to finish second in League One come May.
However, Opta’s supercomputer suggests that their chances of doing so have decreased a great deal following the 0-0 draw with Wigan.
After what was an underwhelming display, Phil Parkinson commented on Wrexham’s promotion chances, insisting they are still in a great position.
He told BBC Sport: “We’ve had a moment where the referee will look at the penalty decision and realise it was pretty harsh not to get that because the lad’s (Luke Robinson) got his arm in an unnatural position.
“All in all, we’ll take the point today, we’d love to have been sat here with three.
“With four games to go, to still be a point clear in second is a great position to be in.”
