    Blackburn keeping the ball nicely.

    The emphasis is on Wrexham now and the hosts know it.

    They don't have to force anything.

    It's been a fantastic game of football so far.

    I still think there's more goals in this game and goals in it for Wrexham, they need to believe in themselves.

    Wrexham aren't out of this game at all because of the way they counter attack and with what they've got going forward.

    I do feel they've got to start this half fast if they want anything from this game, with a two-goal deficit.

  8. Some Wrexham fans struggle to get into groundpublished at 20:31 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January

    HT: Blackburn Rovers 3-1 Wrexham

    It looks like hundreds of Wrexham fans struggled to get in to Ewood Park prior to kick-off.

    Some supporters have complained on social media hoping that the scheduled kick-off of 19:30 GMT would be delayed, which, of course, it was not.

    Some sections of the Wrexham fanbase missed the early stages of the match.

    One fan wrote on X: "Hope all fans stuck outside can get in, shame they can’t see it from the off & are in pouring rain, but even those that are In are making it feel full."

    Blackburn really found a second wind after going a goal down.

    They've gotten in behind them time and time again, they've really caused Wrexham problems.

    The way Blackburn have come back into it, they've controlled possession, and some really clinical finishing as well.

    Well that's really poor, with one minute left before half time Wrexham couldn't keep their focus.

    You can't give Szmodics chances like that because he will punish you.

    Sammie Szmodics

    Sammie Szmodics is on fire!

    One lofted pass is enough to split the Wrexham defence and Szmodics raced clear and never looked like missing as he guided the ball home.

    Blackburn comfortable now.

    Blackburn have really hit Wrexham with a sucker punch there.

    Only a matter of minutes and Blackburn have found themselves in front.

    The goalkeeper has sold himself short for Wrexham and Sam Gallagher has pounced.

    He's looked threatening all night, Sam Gallagher.

    Arthur Okonkwo has looked nervy and casual.

    There's absolutely no need for him to come out as early as he does.

    A total turnaround in two minutes.
