90+4 min: After a Smith miscue down one end, there’s another Saints corner…it bounces off the back Manning and Archer fails to read the flight of the ball.
Share
90+3 min: Manning’s corner is poor. But Saints go again. There are six added minutes to win it. Ward claims the ball and lies down on it, trying to kill time.
Share
90+1 min: Wrexham tempers fray. James McLean involved as he blocks off Ryan Fraser. Yellow card waved, and now a free-kick chance for Saints. They win a corner.

Goal! Southampton 1-1 Wrexham (Manning, 90)
Saints get a corner clear and then win a free-kick. Deep breath from Ryan Manning, and he zips and dips it beyond Ward. What a goal!
Share
88 min: Saints pile on but Robinson’s header is no threat. Saints lacking a cutting edge….and down the other end, Hardie has space to charge on and shoot, but Bazunu makes a fine save. That’s stopped the three points being fully Wrexham’s.

86 min: Another Quarshie throw and Danny Ward claims well, his Leicester woes seem thankfully behind him.
Share
84 min: Liberato Cacace, the wonderfully named Kiwi, leaves the field as James McLean comes on, the former Ireland man sure to be up for the fight to protect Wrexham’s lead.
Share
83 min: Danny Ward clings gratefully for a ball that’s pinged in, as Wrexham again clear a number of crosses. They shall not pass? They probably have 10 minutes to see out.
Share
81 min: Quarshie’s long throw is employed again, but Wrexham hold firm. Saints just can’t get through the wall of yellow shirts.
Share
79 min: More fine skills from Robinson who’s tall and rangy but he ended up losing the ball. Ross Stewart comes on, another attacking change, as Ronnie Edwards departs.
Share
78 min: Ref rage from Saints fans. Rightfully so. Sam Smith had full grasp of Quarshie’s shirt. That was an attacker’s challenge.
Share
75 min: Ryan Longman is on for Wrexham, by the way. And Wrexham could have finished it, O’Brien given too long to think when clear on goal. Jack Stephens puts him off, and O’Brien was looking for the card.
Share
74 min: Jack Stephens climbs to head a corner, and again it’s straight at Danny Ward. Needed neck muscles like a traction engine to smash that in.
Share
72 min: Cameron Archer is on for Saints, as is Ryan Manning, with Downes off and Wellington, too. Ryan Hardie has replaced Windass for Wrexham.
Share
70 min: Conor Coady is down, so is Wellington. Losing Coady and Moore, the two veterans, would be a blow to Phil Parkinson.
Share
69 min: Fernandes’ shot is saved by Ward. Saints are now full of danger.
Share
67 min: Quarshie does far better in blocking off a Sam Smith run, and Saints go again. Robinson dips and weaves and forces a save from Ward. Who’s Tyler Dibling again? Robinson, 18, looks full of talent.
Share
65 min: Josh Windass goes down, buying some time, and a free-kick. Quarshie almost makes a mess of that, and Saints clear with some relief.
Share
63 min: Conor Coady is being asked to marshal the Wrexham defence, and soak up that Saints pressure, which is being poured on and on.
Share
61 min: Those changes have lifted the home noise. Wellington is baulked and the Saints fans, already taking Howard Webb’s name in vain, want a penalty. It would be harsh.
Share
59 min: Armstrong and Sugawara will depart, and on comes Mateus Fernandes and new boy Damian Downs, formerly of Köln, and of the USMNT. Fernandes is linked with West Ham, poor sod.
Share
57 min: Some great vision from Downes and Armstrong whips his shot wide. Saints beginning to carve into the game, and Wrexham will miss Moore. Changes imminent, too.
Share
55 min: Moore goes off for treatment, and on comes Sam Smith, a January signing from Reading. He’s almost immediately involved as the offside trap is triggered and he wins a corner.
Share
53 min: Looks like Big Kieffer is done, having been such a major force in this game.
Joe Pearson gets in touch: “On the commentary for yesterday’s Birmingham – Ipswich clash, they mentioned that the Blues had become accustomed to winning as they played their way into the Championship, while the Tractor Boys had become accustomed to losing in their futile relegation battle. Are we seeing something of the same dynamic today?”
Feels a bit that way, definitely.
Share
51 min: Adam Lallana and the Saints staff in conference with Will Still. Will Fernandes come on? Saints look short of firepower. Moore limps off, towering over the physio.
Share
50 min: Big Kieffer Moore in down, and it looks painful, the result of a block tackle, often the cause of big problems. His ankle is sore.
Share
48 min: This being the Championhip, Southampton go down the other end, and Charles shoots. Did that come off Cleworth’s hand? It looked it. That’s a let-off. Next, as the ball loops in, Armstrong misreads the angle and heads wide.
Share
Back away we go
46 min: Josh Windass is alert and ready, and tries to fox Gavin Bazunu almost from the get-go.
Share
It’s 0-0 between Coventry and Hull, and the same between Charlton and Watford.
Share
Mary Waltz is here too: “John, greetings from still pitch black California. Great to have Championship MBMs back. CBS has given us Hull v Coventry to watch. Lampard’s side is controlling the match so far but are finding the Tigers hard to break down, still nil nil.”
Share
Jon Collin: “Tyler Dibling… isn’t playing. You mentioned him a couple of times but he’s busy wanting away, no?
Ah yes, some confusion here. Mine, mostly. Fernandes is in the squad, Dibling not as he would like to go to Everton. There was a long delay in the teams coming on the wires but to repeat, he is not playing.
Share
Half-time: Southampton 0-1 Wrexham
A highly entertaining half, Wrexham look to the Championship manor born. Saints are full of decent play but maybe lacking a cutting edge and confidence. They might have fallen two or three behind but had the Disney club on the ropes by the end.
Share
45+2 min: Armstrong smashes the post with a volley, meeting a fine ball, and Coady’s nous forces the striker to embrace the wide angle. Wrexham bundle away for a corner that’s cleared for one last run for Moore. The striker’s radar fails him; Windass was waiting.

45 min: We are told that Rob and Ryan aren’t here today. Josh Windass leaves the field, and comes back on.

44 min: Long throw into the Wreham box but there looks to be a head injury. Windass was actually hit on the thigh. He’s receiving treatment.
Share
42 min: Wrexham being pinned back, and look to Moore but he’s offside….and Ward has to make a save when Fraser scoops a ball that looked to be going out. Both teams attacking whenever opportunity arises.
Share
40 min: Saints fans want a penalty – twice over, make that thrice. Robinson was knocked over, then Downes, then finally a free-kick, outside of the box, is won.
Share
38 min: Saints coming back into the play but struggling to piece together something….Downes hustles through and Adam Armstrong shoots, but straight at Danny Ward.
