And the Reds went 4-1 up in the 58th minute when Tozer's throw-in fell to Cleworth whose shot was deliberately handled in the area by defender Jonathan Panzo. Tom O'Connor was unable to hit the target at the other end and Coventry pulled a goal back after 36 minutes. Tom O'Connor's diagonal was brought down by Hall-Johnson for Luke Young who sent in a cross and Dalby found the back of the net with a downward header. However, Wrexham struck again to go 3-1 ahead at the break and the Reds made it 4-1 in the second half when the home side were reduced to 10 men.
Barry Hastie and Kirston Nelson will share the role, following the departure of Martin Reeves.

Taking the step up to the top flight mid-season isn’t easy though, so it would be a major gamble if they made a move to sign Scott, Gyokeres and Brereton Diaz.

Promotion this season is clearly still the main aim for the Hollywood-backed side, who obviously stole hearts on both sides of the Atlantic with the hit series Welcome to Wrexham.

Then, in what was turning into more than a glimmer and a one-man show Palmer won a free-kick on the edge of the box, before whipping it into the back of the net. A ball was swung into the box and Sam Dalby rose highest to head the ball past Moore in the Coventry goal. Palmer hit the post for a second time before setting up Gyokeres who passed the ball into the net to keep the tiny glimmer of hope alive. You’d have thought Coventry would come back with a vengeance in the second half but instead, Wrexham just kept on coming. Paul Mullin was a threat to a timid backline throughout and the home side were terrified of the long throw. It was without a doubt, the tie of the round and one of the best FA Cup ties we have seen in recent years.
