"Wrexham moved back into the Championship play-off places after their hard-fought 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. Sam Smith's fourth goal in six Championship games was enough to see the Red Dragons return to sixth place after Derby's dismantling of Bristol City on Friday night. Things seem to be going from bad to worse for Wednesday this season following the departure of captain and star man Barry Bannan earlier in the week."
"The Red Dragons made the breakthrough in the 58th minute. Kabore swept in a dangerous cross from the right-hand side and Smith was there to poke the ball home at the back post. Smith nearly got his second after a driving run from Matty James but Cooper tipped his effort round the post. Kabore and Smith combined again, the striker this time meeting the cross at the near post, but he could only stab his effort wide of the mark."
Wrexham defeated Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Hillsborough to move back into the Championship play-off places. Sam Smith scored in the 58th minute from a dangerous cross by Issa Kaboré, marking his fourth goal in six league games. Wrexham entered the match with one loss in their previous eight fixtures and treated the game as crucial to their push for a play-off spot. Sheffield Wednesday generated chances through Jamal Lowe, Jerry Yates on debut, Nathan Broadhead and Bailey Cadamarteri but failed to convert. Defensive interventions and key saves preserved Wrexham's narrow lead. The result compounded Wednesday's problems after Barry Bannan's recent departure.
