One team in Wales, there's only one team in Wales....

No doubting that now, City came from a goal down to

1. Win the Welsh derby.

2. Move into the top 10 in Div 2

3. Continue the run of scoring in every game played this season

4. Get 9 out of 9 points in the last 3 away games

5. Go 7 league games unbeaten

6. Become the highest scorers in the division away from home

7. Have games still in hand and could be in a play off place on Wednesday

I could probably go on.

City opened up brightly enough but were stunned when Wrexham broke down the left and Carlos Edwards volleyed in from 6 yards after City failed to clear. It was a blow and it took City another 20 mins before they started to boss the game again.

The equaliser came when Wrexham made a hash of clearing and Paul Brayson raced clear, the little striker squared the ball for Gavin Gordon to tap in from 6 yards.

City were then hit by two injuries. Bowen off with Hamilton on and then Gordon off with Leo coming on.

The game moved into first half injury time when Kav picked up a ball over 30 yards out and volleyed over the Wrexham keeper and in off the bar. It was a shot of pure quality and the keeper was chipped when he was only 8 feet off his line.

City then came out in the second half and secured the points when Leo FW fired into the roof of the net.

An Andy Legg cross appeared to dropping short when Brayson flicked the ball onto the back post. Spencer Prior defied the laws of physics to twist his body and get his head behind the ball, his deft knockdown was smashed into the goal by Leo and it was all over.

City were comfortable after that and while Wrexham had some chances notably from Lee Trundle it was game set and match for City.

The important facts I've listed above but it the fact we can go into a play off place if we get our 4th win away on the trot that matters most. We play bottom club Bury at Gigg Lane on Wednesday. We could even go 5th if Reading fail to beat Wrexham on Tuesday.

The Live TV audience will again have been impressed by City and after two great wins before the camera's I hope HTV Wales are busy planning some more live appearances.
