Malanda: Did well enough. 6

Brittain: Good work for the visitors’ opener. 6

Browne: Troubled by a knock sustained in the run-up to half-time and came off at the interval. 6

Morris: Re-confirmed why he’s Boro’s most important player in absence of Hayden Hackney. 7

Targett: Loose for Wrexham’s second goal, but atoned with an assist for Strelec. Kabore troubled him at times. 6

Whittaker: Did well for opener. But not involved for fair parts either and did not fancy the physical stuff at all. 5

Strelec: Quiet until being in the right place for 2-2. 6

Conway: Bundled home early on. Worked hard down the left. 7

Substitutes: McGree (Browne HT). Big impact. 7

Castledine (Whittaker 71). Missed a huge double-chance. 6

Sarmiento (Strelec 71) 6.

Sene (Ayling 87).

Not used: Wildsmith, Edmundson, Gilbert, Silvera.
