Wrexham dropped more points in their fight for promotion from League One.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bristol Rovers had lost six straight league games<\/a> coming into the clash with Wrexham<\/a> but were more than deserving of a point from the Racecourse Ground<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wrexham fans were furious with Jay Rodriguez<\/a> once again as the striker struggled to make an impact before being replaced by Steven Fletcher<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matty James<\/a> had given Wrexham hope of stealing three points with an equaliser 15 minutes from the end but the away side feel that a key decision that didn\u2019t go their way should have changed the outcome of the match.<\/p>\n

The away side are feeling aggrieved over a couple of incidents during the match, there was suspicions of handball for James\u2019s opener and then there were shouts of a penalty in stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Bristol Rovers fans have taken to X to voice their frustrations over the decisions, one fan wrote: \u201cGood performance that, I thought it def was a handball and a sniff of a penalty at the end. We need to be the same now for the next 3 games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gutting man. How was that not a penalty at the end there?????<\/p>\n

Another fan wrote: \u201cGreat result considering their goal followed a handball and we were denied a clear penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Much better fight! Ref decided to not give a handball that leads to a Wrexham goal then ignore a stone wall penalty claim for us. Hard done by!<\/p>\n

Shaqai Forde was challenge by defender Dan Scarr in the final moments and Rovers feel as though the contact was enough for a penalty, one fan wrote: \u201cThat\u2019s one point more than I would\u2019ve ever expected. Must win those two home games though. Ref awful, looked a clear pen on Shaq at the end\u201d<\/p>\n

Stone wall pen on Shaq. Yet another ref bottling a massive decision against the media darlings of the division.<\/p>\n

Wrexham\u2019s draw compounded by Wycombe and Charlton wins<\/p>\n

Wrexham\u2019s 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers<\/a> has been compounded by the fact that Wycombe Wanderers managed to secure an impressive 2-0 win at Bolton.<\/p>\n

The result leaves Phil Parkinson\u2019s<\/a> side trailing The Chairboys by a point with three games remaining and now relying on them dropping points in the promotion race.<\/p>\n\nPosition<\/td>\nTeam<\/td>\nMatches played<\/td>\nPoints<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1.<\/td>\nBirmingham City<\/td>\n41<\/td>\n96<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2.<\/td>\nWycombe Wanderers<\/td>\n43<\/td>\n84<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n3.<\/td>\nWrexham<\/td>\n43<\/td>\n83<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n4.<\/td>\nCharlton Athletic<\/td>\n43<\/td>\n79<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n5.<\/td>\nStockport County<\/td>\n43<\/td>\n78<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
