The latest Wrexham team news as Phil Parkinson’s side gear up to face MK Dons in League Two this evening.
Wrexham face a tough away trip to Stadium MK tonight following a big three points against Notts County on home soil at the weekend, prevailing 1-0 winners.
Controversy abounds as Dons and Wrexham share fiery draw
MK Dons and Wrexham shared the spoils in a 1-1 after a hugely controversial evening at Stadium MK on Tuesday.
With the game finely poised between two promotion hopefuls, with first-half goals from James McLean and Dan Kemp, Wrexham stopper Arthur Okonkwo spilled Joe Tomlinson’s 59th minute effort into the net only for the goal not to be given by referee Sam Purkiss.
Barely a minute later, the official sent off Dean Lewington for his protests at the other end, before Will Boyle was given his marching orders 12 minutes from time.
The result means Dons remain fifth, four points from the automatic promotion spots.
After the 2-1 win over Swindon Town, Mike Williamson restored captain Dean Lewington to the side for the visit of Wrexham to Stadium MK, seeing Kyran Lofthouse drop to the bench, where he was joined by the returning Ellis Harrison who missed the trip to Wiltshire through injury.
With both sides scrapping for the right to go up automatically, it was a messy opening to the game, neither side really able to grasp control in the early stages despite the frantic path of it. Dons were the makers of their own problems though, playing themselves into bother in and around their own penalty area as Wrexham pressed a high line, seeking to capitalise.
