Wycombe win 'brilliant' as promotion race hots up
Iwan Roberts says Wrexham provided a "brilliant" response to their defeat at Reading by beating Wycombe Wanderers.
Having lost 2-0 to the Royals four days earlier, Phil Parkinson's men defeated the Chairboys at Adams Park courtesy of Sam Smith's 78th minute goal on Saturday.
Victory lifted Wrexham above Wycombe into second in League One, although Mike Dodds' side could return to the automatic promotion places by beating Rotherham United in their game in hand on Tuesday night (19:45 GMT).
"It wasn't a classic. You could see that the two teams, not under pressure, but there were nerves out on the pitch because it was such a big game for both sides," Roberts told BBC Radio Cymru Dros Frecwast.
"But what a goal to win it from Sam Smith.
"Of course there was a long delay due to a medical emergency with a Wrexham fan, and we had a delay of almost an hour before the players came back out after hearing the fan was in a stable condition.
"Wycombe had a chance right after the restart that was cleared off the line by George Dobson and then within seconds Sam Smith scores.
"But it's so close (in the table). Wycombe play tomorrow night, they're at Rotherham so they've got a chance to go second again.
"Charlton are only five points behind Wrexham and Stockport only six points behind, but it was a brilliant result after they had lost 2-0 at Reading."
Wrexham return to action against fifth-placed Stockport County at the Stok Racecourse on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
