West Brom Player Ratings vs Wrexham: Five Score 7 as Albion Surrender Lead
West Bromwich Albion were left ruing a missed opportunity as they squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Wrexham in a thrilling Championship encounter. The Baggies seemed in control at halftime, thanks to goals from Isaac Price and Josh Maja, but second-half strikes from Josh Windass and George Dobson earned Wrexham a hard-fought point.
Digital sports journalist Jonny Drury provided detailed player ratings following the match, highlighting the performances that shaped this dramatic fixture.
Goalkeeper and Defence
Josh Griffiths had a relatively quiet second half but made a crucial late save to deny Wrexham's Moore, justifying his selection with a solid display. Rating: 7
Danny Imray showed early liveliness but struggled with poor passes in the second period, putting Albion under pressure at times. Rating: 6
Nat Phillips was largely solid, though he faced a tough challenge against Smith and Moore, nearly scoring an own goal from a Diakite header. Rating: 7
George Campbell had a shaky start, almost getting into trouble, but recovered well to improve in the second half. Rating: 6
Midfield and Attack
Callum Styles stood out as one of Albion's best players, providing constant options and delivering dangerous balls, keeping the team ticking. Rating: 7
Ousmane Diakite impressed again, showing improvement on the ball, though a mix-up with Phillips almost led to a goal, and he was arguably at fault for Wrexham's first. Rating: 7
Jayson Molumby brought good energy and set up Price with a decent clipped ball, but like Diakite, was out of position for the opening goal, though he kept pushing forward. Rating: 6
Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba started brightly with a curling effort over the bar but faded as the game progressed, leading to his substitution. Rating: 6
Isaac Price scored a clever free-kick to put Albion ahead but struggled to create afterwards, though he remained involved late on. Rating: 7
Josh Maja took his penalty well but had a poor effort in the second half, opting for a long-range shot when better options were available, and saw little of the ball later. Rating: 6
Aune Heggebo displayed strong hold-up play, especially in the first half, and remained a reliable outlet throughout the match. Rating: 6
Substitutes
Daryl Dike, who came on for Maja in the 72nd minute, missed a huge late chance that could have won the game. Rating: 6
Charlie Taylor, substituted for Jimoh-Aloba also at 72 minutes, did his job effectively, including an impressive interception. Rating: 6
Unused substitutes included O'Leary, Gilchrist, Taylor, Mowatt, Mustapha, Whitwell, Bostock, Sule, and Dike, highlighting the depth available to Albion.
This result leaves West Brom reflecting on what might have been, as individual performances varied, with five players earning a rating of 7, but the team ultimately failed to secure all three points.
