Wrexham were well and truly tested when they took on a relegation-threatened Bristol Rovers on Friday.
Bristol Rovers had lost six League One fixtures in a row prior to making the trip to the Racecourse Ground.
Phil Parkinson’s side, meanwhile, kicked off in Wales in second place with a one-point lead over their closest promotion rivals.
As a result, it seemed certain that Wrexham would be Bristol Rovers with relative ease and keep their charge toward the Championship going.
However, the Hollywood club went behind in the 32nd minute following a headed goal from a corner.
Wrexham fans praised Parkinson pre-match for his team selection on the day.
Paul Mullin was left out, but Ryan Barnett and Elliot Lee returned to the side in place of James McClean and George Dobson.

Matty James pulled a goal back to see Wrexham draw 1-1 with Bristol Rovers, a result that hasn’t done much for their promotion hopes.
Wycombe Wanderers beat Bolton Wanderers 1-0 and have now overtaken the Red Dragons in the table, going into Monday’s games.
The mood among the Wrexham fans after the match was despondent, and one incident post-match made it clear Parkinson was not happy.
At every home fixture, and some away matches, the games are covered live on the club’s YouTube channel.
In this coverage, Parkinson and a Wrexham player are interviewed by the host shortly after full-time.
However, Friday’s broadcast, which can be seen below, ended without Parkinson or anyone from the team making an appearance despite the host mentioning at one point they ‘hoped’ to have a chat at some point.
Play-off spot still huge positive for Wrexham
Wrexham fans hit out after Bristol Rovers, and their anger is, of course, understandable.
They had a six-point lead over Wycombe not long ago and are now chasing down the Chairboys with three games to go.
With three matches still to play and fourth-place Charlton Athletic up next for Dodds’ men, there is still a good chance the Red Dragons will win automatic promotion.
However, even if they don’t, finishing inside the top-six is still a great achievement for a club who were in the National League two years ago.
