Wrexham suffered a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Hull, missing their chance to climb to fifth in the Championship. Manager Phil Parkinson criticized his team's mentality, suggesting they were "feeling sorry for themselves" after key injuries to top scorer Kieffer Moore and George Dobson's suspension following their dramatic FA Cup loss to Chelsea.

The loss came despite a late goal from Nathan Broadhead that briefly offered hope of a comeback. Hull dominated throughout, with Joe Gelhardt and Lewis Koumas finding the net either side. The result means Wrexham remain sixth in the table, while Hull extended their lead over their promotion rivals to six points.

Hull's eighth win in ten away games strengthened their grip on a play-off spot, putting them nine points clear of seventh-placed Derby. Tigers boss Sergej Jakirovic acknowledged the difficulty of facing Wrexham at home, referencing their Carabao Cup comeback in August. For Wrexham, the focus now shifts to recovery from Moore's hamstring injury, which casts doubt over his availability for Wales' World Cup qualifying playoff on March 26.
