Wrexham Denied First Championship Win with 2-2 Draw Against Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday fight back to earn point against Wrexham

Wrexham's wait for a first Championship victory continues after a 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday, with Kieffer Moore scoring twice for the hosts.

Wrexham's quest for their first Championship win of the season hit a snag as they drew 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday at home. Despite taking a two-goal lead, courtesy of Kieffer Moore's brace, Wrexham failed to hold on, with Barry Bannan's goal and Bailey Cadamarteri's late equalizer securing a point for the visitors.

The draw marked Wrexham's first point in the second tier of English football in 43 years, providing some consolation for the Hollywood-owned Welsh club. However, the manner of the draw will likely leave Wrexham frustrated, as they conceded late goals for the second time, a theme that has plagued them in their recent matches.

Wales international Kieffer Moore scored two goals, his first since joining the club in a £2 million move, to put Wrexham in control against Sheffield Wednesday. However, the hosts' lead was short-lived, as Barry Bannan's reply set up a tense finish.

The hosts' nerves were on edge as they failed to hold on to their lead, with Bailey Cadamarteri scoring the equalizer nine minutes from time. The late goal meant Wrexham had to settle for a 2-2 draw, extending their wait for a first Championship win of the season.

A point shared between the sides in North Wales.

Wrexham's early season has been marked by frustrating late-game collapses. After taking the lead or being in control, they've conceded crucial goals in the dying minutes of their matches. This trend started with a 2-1 home defeat by Southampton on the opening day and continued with a 3-2 home loss to West Bromwich Albion. Their most recent match saw them surrender a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday.

The Hollywood-owned Welsh club had high hopes of securing a fourth successive promotion and reaching the Premier League. However, after three games, they're sitting in 20th place out of 24 teams in the Championship, with zero wins and two losses. Their home performance has been particularly concerning, with one loss and one draw. Despite their struggles, Wrexham's global appeal and fanbase continue to grow, thanks in part to the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Wrexham's journey to the Premier League won't be easy. They need to address their defensive issues, particularly in the second half of matches, where they've conceded crucial goals. Strengthening their squad and maintaining consistency will be key to their success. With the right strategy and player development, Wrexham can still achieve their goal of promotion, but it will require a strong team effort and adaptability in the face of tough opponents.
