BBC NWS; Stevenage supporters mocked Wrexham striker Steven Fletcher during a League One match.
Stevenage supporters taunted Wrexham striker Steven Fletcher during the League One match on Tuesday night.
Wrexham faced Stevenage in a League One match in midweek, hoping to rebound from a dismal 0-0 tie.
On October 1st, Phil Parkinson made adjustments to his starting lineup as the club football schedule approaches the winter season.
Summer signing Dan Scarr replaced injured Max Cleworth at the defense, while Sebastian Revan started at left-wing-back. James McClean moved up to midfield.

Fletcher joined Wrexham on a free transfer in summer 2023 after leaving Dundee United.
The 37-year-old has previously played in the Premier League, for Sunderland and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Scot has nine goals in 43 appearances for Wrexham in all competitions, one of which came this season.
Fletcher attempted to steal a Max Cleworth goal earlier this month, but the ball had already crossed the line.
During the game against Stevenage, the ex-Premier League ace underperformed and was taunted by home fans, according to The Athletic.
On Tuesday, the Stevenage fans began screaming ‘You’re just a s*** Andy Carroll’ at the striker as he lay down for treatment.
Steven Fletcher is running out of opportunities at Wrexham.

If Faal does well, Fletcher might be demoted to fifth-choice striker in the future.
