Overview
- Wrexham scored twice in stoppage time to beat QPR 3-2 at Loftus Road, with Josh Windass levelling before Ollie Rathbone hit a long-range winner after Amadou Mbengue’s 90th-minute red card.
- The result lifted Wrexham to sixth place on 44 points from 29 games, marking their first time ending a round in the Championship play-off positions this season.
- Manager Phil Parkinson said his players “smelt blood” after the equaliser, and the team’s knack for late drama now includes six goals scored beyond the 90th minute this season, the most in the division.
- Backed by co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Wrexham have climbed three tiers since 2023 and spent about £29–30 million in the 2025 summer window to strengthen the squad.
- With the January window open, ex-defender Curtis Davies urged the club to “double down” on signings, while media reports link a potential £19m bid for Angers striker Sidiki Cherif that remains unconfirmed.
