Given QPR had not conceded for three successive league games going into this, it was little wonder Loftus Road’s home ends collectively shook their heads at the final whistle.<\/p>\n
This for large swathes of the game had looked like a game that Stephan’s side would collect all three points from.<\/p>\n
Defensively disciplined, well organised in midfield, out-working Wrexham in parts, and forcing errors all over the bare and bobbly pitch.<\/p>\n
When Vale’s volley punished Dan Scarr’s inability to clear his lines early on \u2013 Kader Dembele’s shot having cannoned back off the crossbar via a finger from Arthur Okonkwo \u2013 the hosts looked comfortable and in control.<\/p>\n
Their only grumble was that they had not extended their lead, Paul Smyth with perhaps the best chance.<\/p>\n
So Wrexham hardly deserved their way back into the game. Indeed, the visitors’ xG was zero before Doyle finished from Nathan Broadhead’s pass, squeezing home expertly from a tight angle.<\/p>\n
Although much improved after the break, it still almost felt like a poor display had its just deserts when Cook, unmarked, wandered into the box to head home an 80th minute corner.<\/p>\n
That appeared to be what the talking point was going to be, Wrexham again dropping points and again via a set-piece having drawn from a winning position by conceding at a 90th minute corner in midweek against Leicester.<\/p>\n
But Wrexham’s recent story has had its fair share of late dramas \u2013 and this season has been no different. Only Coventry and Watford have taken more points than Wrexham’s 15 from losing positions.<\/p>\n
It is difficult to assess whether Mbengue’s ill-discipline when already on a yellow had its impact, but the momentum was already with Wrexham in the final stages.<\/p>\n
After a technically excellent finish from Windass, the Wrexham rush to get the ball from the net to restart told a story. Rathbone made sure he put the exclamation point on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Given QPR had not conceded for three successive league games going into this, it was little wonder Loftus…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":{"0":"post-111252","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-queens","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-queens","12":"tag-queens-headlines","13":"tag-queens-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
