Why Wrexham’s 5-1 humbling by Southampton could prove a BLESSING in disguise - despite slipping out of the Championship play-off spots with just five games left, writes NATHAN SALT
Upon their return to the Football League, Wrexham were full of optimism about back-to-back promotions, only to find themselves 2-0 down to MK Dons inside 10 minutes. But Tuesday night’s 5-1 demolition at the hands of Southampton was as galling as anything Wrexham have faced since the Hollywood takeover. There were spells where this looked like a cup game of Premier League giant versus lower league minnow. But Reynolds and Mac want to get into the Premier League and once there they want to shake things up. Since beating Nottingham Forest on penalties in the FA Cup in early January they have conceded 30 goals across 17 games - 1.76 goals a game.
