Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney-built Wrexham a ‘threat to all other teams’ – with Red Dragons backed to sustain promotion challenge in League One

League One

Wrexham

Exeter

The Red Dragons have been proving as much through the opening weeks of the 2024-25 campaign. Four games have been successfully navigated unbeaten, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rob-mcelhenney-bold-have-a-shot-wrexham-prediction-back-to-back-to-back-promotions-ryan-reynolds/bltf99dd648dec1fd54 " target="_blank">10 points being collected along the way</a>. Only goal difference is keeping them off the top of the table.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He also has prolific frontman <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-mullin-wrexham-starting-xi-105-goal-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-favourite-fight/blt20dccf2c2db0d10f" target="_blank">Paul Mullin ready to step back into the starting XI</a> at some stage after recovering from injury.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

With the Red Dragons flying high, and fellow promotion hopefuls Peterborough seen off 2-0 last time out, former Wrexham midfielder Wayne Phillips sees no reason why <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/another-las-vegas-party-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-arthur-okonkwo-bold-wrexham-promotion-claim-league-one/blt37daecccf5dc6d0a" target="_blank">a bid for back-to-back-to-back promotions</a> cannot be sustained. He has told <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/wrexham " target="_blank">BBC Radio Wales Sport</a>: “This team is certainly more than capable of being a threat to all other teams in this division this season. It’s not me getting carried away after four games this season – I was saying these things before a ball was kicked. The shape of the team [at Peterborough] was terrific and when they had to deal with pressure they did that fantastically well.”

WHAT PHILLIPS SAID

Parkinson will be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-go-again-january-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-transfer-prediction-red-dragons-tipped-automatic-promotion-league-one/blt069f13261ce545f4" target="_blank">hoping to see early momentum maintained</a> when welcoming cross-border rivals Shrewsbury to SToK Racecourse on Saturday. As the only top-five side in action this weekend, a point on home soil will be enough to see Wrexham end matchday five at the League One summit.
