"I said to the lads at half-time, 'don't let the goal affect us.' I thought we were unlucky not to be ahead. And then lo and behold the centre-half smashes one in to make it 3-2. I think a lesser group of players could have started letting a bit of fatigue creep into them mentally but we didn't, we responded brilliantly, and that's a great effort from the lads."
"But George Thomason equalised with his first goal for Wrexham in the 66th minute and they produced a grandstand finish thanks to Callum Doyle and Nathan Broadhead. Shortly before Thomason's equaliser, Wrexham appealed strongly for a spot-kick after Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton punched the head of Doyle instead of the ball from a corner, with referee Leigh Doughty giving a goal-kick."
Wrexham produced a dramatic 5-3 victory over Ipswich, overturning a 3-2 deficit with three late goals to move back into Championship playoff contention. The match featured multiple lead changes, stoppage-time levellers and a second-half Ipswich stunner before Wrexham's late response. A congested schedule left the squad potentially vulnerable to fatigue, but the players sustained effort and commitment throughout. The game included a controversial incident when Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton punched Callum Doyle's head from a corner; the referee awarded a goal-kick rather than a penalty. The result strengthens Wrexham's promotion prospects.
