WWrexham squandered a golden opportunity to secure a place in the Premier League play-offs. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s side will face off on the final day of the Championship after losing 3-1 to leaders Coventry.
With one game left, they are still in control of their own destiny. They are level on points with Hull City in 7th place, but in England they are determined by overall goal difference rather than direct goal difference, so they are just one goal away from scoring.

But the final section is more complicated for Wrexham than for Hull. They play at home to Middlesbrough, who are fighting for a better place despite being fourth, while Hull are home to mid-table Norwich, who have nothing left to play for.
Wrexham will have to do the same as Hull to ensure they finish in front. But if Hull win by a big margin, Wrexham, who are just one point behind, will be forced to do the same. Whatever happens, this season will be special as they were promoted last season.
Ryan Reynolds’ promise is coming true
If they qualify for the play-offs and win promotion to the Premier League, it would be their fourth successive promotion since Ryan Reynolds bought the club in 2021. The actor has set a goal of being in the top league in 10 years, but it could be achieved sooner.
Tom Brady’s Birmingham City were not so lucky, being left in the middle of the table with nothing to play for on the final day. They will aim for promotion next season.
