Bell accused the officials of failing to take action against the Irishman, who reacted angrily after a late challenge by Aaron Rowe which ended with Red Dragons goalscorer Ollie Palmer acting as peacemaker.

Referee Seb Stockbridge handed out yellow cards to both McClean and Rowe, but after the break pulled out a red to send off Alex defender Ryan Cooney, which killed off any hopes Crewe had of a fightback after they had fallen behind to first-half efforts from Palmer and Paul Mullin.

바카라�I바카라�m bitterly disappointed to lose at home again as we had looked much better and with a lot more energy,바카라� Bell said. 바카라�It was a very even game but then there was a flash-point in the first half which was absolutely ridiculous and I바카라�m quite kind to referees.

바카라�I know James (McClean) but he should have been sent off 바카라� but Wrexham aren바카라�t bothered and the referees aren바카라�t bothered.

바카라�When I got sent-off recently I was told that I wasn바카라�t being aggressive, but when you start putting fingers in mouth and putting your head towards people you should be sent off.바카라�

Crewe have lost their last three home games 3-0 and may still need a point from their final-day trip to Colchester to guarantee a play-off berth.

Wrexham, meanwhile, were chalking up a sixth success in the last seven games.

Palmer glanced home Mullin바카라�s cross for the first in the 24th minute. The frontman reciprocated when he flicked on Tom O바카라�Connor바카라�s free-kick and Mullin lifted the ball over goalkeeper Max Stryjek in first-half stoppage time.

Cooney was given a straight red card in the 54th minute for a handling offence which prevented Mullin from running in on goal.

Andy Cannon drilled in Wrexham바카라�s third in the 61st minute. Further goals could have followed with both substitutes Jack Marriott and Steven Fletcher going close, while Crewe sub Charlie Finney was close to heading in a consolation at the far post.

Bell added: 바카라�We will take the defeat but at 1-0 down Wrexham should have been down to 10 men. Straight from what went on with that we conceded and that made it a really difficult task against a really good team.

바카라�But we바카라�ll go to Colchester and myself and the players will meet the challenge head-on and make sure we don바카라�t come off the pitch with any regrets.바카라�

Phil Parkinson emphasised the importance of the size of Wrexham바카라�s squad as club captain Luke Young returned to play a key part in the victory.

바카라�Luke came in and was outstanding and that has been our strength, that the group of lads out of the side have been so important to us when they have played,바카라� said the Wrexham boss.

바카라�The last nine away games have seen us take 17 points, so we have been excellent on our travels which I am pleased about. Also for the integrity of the division it was important we performed as there will be teams looking at this game today needing us to come and play well.

바카라�Our mentality has got stronger and we have been very good.

바카라�After their lad got sent off 바카라� I was expecting a yellow card 바카라� we then went 3-0 up and it was just about controlling the game after that.

바카라�We are happy with the promotion and if we get second then that will be great, but it바카라�s more about finishing the season and getting to the summer and regrouping.

바카라�There are some decisions to be made then and that will be about us sitting down as staff and making the right ones.바카라�
