Wrexham lost 1-0 to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Friday, the first time Phil Parkinson's side has lost consecutive league matches in this calendar year. Wrexham were 17th in the table going into the match, six points from both the playoff positions and the relegation zone.
How the match was decided
Ben Brereton Díaz scored from close range after Anthony Patterson parried Jordan Ayew's shot. Wrexham went into halftime trailing by a goal without registering a shot on target.
Changes
Phil Parkinson introduced Sam Smith and Max Cleworth. Kieffer Moore sent a chance to equalize over the crossbar.
Current run
Wrexham have now won just three matches this season. They have also conceded in each of their last eight matches and kept just two clean sheets all season.
Away record and spending
Wrexham are without a victory in their last five away games, scoring only once during that run. Only Watford, with two, have scored fewer away goals than Wrexham's five in the Championship this season.
Wrexham spent $48 million on seven new signings over the summer, and Anthony Patterson was signed for a club-record transfer fee.
