Wrexham fans showed no sympathy for referee Sam Purkiss, who had to be replaced after suffering an injury in their League One match at Charlton on Saturday.
The official initially went down in the 11th minute and received treatment on the field of play. He continued and was in charge as the two sides exchanged goals in a pulsating first half.
But 10 minutes before the break, Purkiss was unable to soldier on and was replaced by Alan Dale. He he left The Valley turf, the visiting fans could be heard singing ‘You’re not fit to referee.’
Wrexham had travelled to the south east looking to close the gap to league leaders Birmingham to just two points, following the Blues’ lunchtime draw with Mansfield Town.
Conor Coventry’s 16th-minute own goal got them off a good start but Phil Parkinson’s side were quickly pegged back by Macaulay Gillesphey’s leveller.
