""You saw how quickly we got the ball and got back [after the late equaliser],""
""We smelt blood. You can feel that as a team sometimes. Their lad got sent off, I don't know whether that impacted it or not, but you felt that we were the team most likely to go and win it.""
Wrexham won 3-2 at Queens Park Rangers with two stoppage-time goals, moving into sixth place in the Championship. The top two earn automatic promotion while teams finishing third to sixth qualify for playoffs for one extra promotion spot. Steve Cook's late goal had appeared to secure the points for QPR before Amadou Mbengue was sent off; Josh Windass equalised and substitute Ollie Rathbone struck a 30-yard winner. This is the first time this season Wrexham have ended a round in the playoff places during their first second-tier campaign since the 1980s after three straight promotions. The 2020 takeover by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, heavy summer spending estimated around $40 million and the Emmy-winning "Welcome to Wrexham" series have helped fuel the club's rapid rise to the second tier.
