The Welsh side lost 2-1 against Birmingham at home and gained their only win of the season at Millwall 3-0. Back-to-back stalemates followed, starting with a goalless draw at Swansea.
Phil Parkinson’s outfit also drew 1-1 against second-from-bottom Burnley. Wrexham conceded first, faced 19 shots and Jacques Ekomie scored a second-half equaliser.
