Bromley made it three defeats in a row but were made to pay for a missed Frankie Raymond penalty midway through the first half when the scores were level.
Having lost their previous two games, Neil Smith shuffled the pack with Alan Dunne, Tyrone Sterling, Ben Chorley, Adam Mekki and Louis Dennis returning to the starting line-up in place of Ben Wynter, Kristian Campbell, Daniel Johnson, Jordan Higgs and Brett Williams respectively.
For the first 45 minutes the changes appeared to have the desired effect as Bromley were more than a match for their higher placed hosts. Chances remained at a premium throughout the first half as defences dominated the opening exchanges.
Wrexham were the first to threaten when Burnley loanee Ntumba Massanka tested David Gregory with a fine header from a Marcus Kelly cross, however the Bromley custodian was equal to the effort.
The turning point of the game was to come in the 29th minute, referee Richard Hulme adjudged that James Jennings had handled a cross whilst attempting a clearance. That no Bromley players appealed for the penalty made the decision to award the penalty all the more baffling.
Justice was to be served, as it were, from the resultant spot kick as Wrexham goalkeeper Christian Dibble saved Frankie Raymond’s soft effort to keep the score line goalless.
Massanka was to go close again shortly after the penalty miss when he failed to provide the final touch on substitute Leo Smith’s teasing cross. However the rest of the first half played out to little or no incident with both teams happy to go in at half time level pegging.
The second half was one-way traffic as Wrexham came out of the traps flying and overwhelmed Bromley with a high-octane performance that reduced Bromley to second best in every department.
The home side took the lead within a minute of the restart, Jenning’s left wing cross was headed in by an unmarked Massanka who was inexplicably given the freedom of the Bromley area to convert the opportunity.
Massanka should have had a second in the 53rd minute but he contrived to collide with his strike partner Alex Reid when Sam Wedgebury delivered an excellent cross for the unmarked Massanka.
With the Wrexham pressure relentless Reid was next to go close, capitalising on a Chorley error, the on-loan Fleetwood striker forced Gregory into an excellent fingertip save that deflected the effort over the crossbar.
Minutes later Reid again forced Gregory into a fine save, Gregory parried Reid’s fierce effort away but the on-rushing Wedgebury could only fire the rebound high and wide when it seemed easier to hit the target.
Wrexham eventually doubled the lead and sealed the match in the 70th minute. George Porter dallied on the ball and was dispossessed by Akil Wright, the loose ball was seized upon by Paul Rutherford whose perfectly weighted ball set Massanka free on goal. The forward made no mistake with his opportunity slotting through the legs of the advancing Gregory.
That Bromley did not fashion a genuine goal-scoring opportunity in the second half was testament to the level of dominance Wrexham had in the second half.
More worrying for Neil Smith than the defeat itself will undoubtedly be the revealing pattern of the three consecutive defeats. Whilst the victorious opposition all sit in the top 4 of the fledging Vanarama National League Bromley have looked bereft of attacking penetration in the final third and currently seem to be a striker short. With the next three games against teams that all sit below Bromley in the table Smith will undoubtedly be hoping that his side can re-discover their scoring form.
