"So much for the so-called 'Hollywood derby'. That does not mean the eyes of the world were not on Wrexham on Friday night, though, especially given the live screening of the match in the United States. Instead of celebrities, this was pure Championship - the good and the bad as goals from George Dobson and Patrick Roberts in the 1-1 draw kept the plotline bubbling in the latest instalment."
"Sport does not always have to be at the highest level to be captivating and the mistakes, missed chances and a fair bit of needle made this game equally parts frustrating and fascinating for fans. Especially when you consider that both of the division newcomers - and their managers - feel the need to prove they belong at this level. As Storm Amy whipped around, both teams blew hot and cold with plenty of huff and puff."
"The good news for those watching at home and in Hollywood, is Wrexham are looking more like that kind of side with every passing week. After a hard-working comeback at Leicester City, Wrexham began the game with an intensity reminiscent of the way they won back-to-back promotions. It should have brought them more than just the one goal and left Birmingham looking lethargic in comparison."
Friday night's Championship match at the Cae Ras ended 1-1 as George Dobson and Patrick Roberts scored. The game lacked celebrity appearances but attracted international attention with a US live screening. Wrexham started intensely, showing growing cohesion after rebuilding, while Birmingham improved in the second half and posed renewed threats. Weather from Storm Amy created volatile conditions as both sides alternated strong and weak periods. The match featured mistakes, missed chances and competitive edge as both newly promoted teams and their managers sought to prove they belong at Championship level. Wrexham's progress combines quality with relentless effort.
