‘Everyone is looking to take a scalp’ - Wrexham told to ‘rise up’ after Accrington defeat as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s club aim to bounce back against Morecambe

Championship

Southampton

Wrexham

Wrexham went down to a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/disaster-wrexham-paul-mullin-misses-penalty-arthur-okonkwo-big-error-accrington-stanley/blt4def626b6005e27b" target="_blank">testy 2-0 defeat</a> at Accrington Stanley last weekend. Accrington's wild celebrations at the final whistle and the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham-accrington-stanley-chairman-fans-paul-mullin-nightmare-result/blt4913226b2572c2c6" target="_blank">tense exchanges between the clubs</a> before and after the game gave a glimpse that not everyone in football is delighted by Wrexham's Hollywood-powered revival. But according to O'Connor, that is nothing new.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"There are no easy games in League Two, everyone is going out there to win," the Irishman told Wrexham's <a href="https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/sport/23941445.tom-oconnor-used-wrexham-team-beat/" target="_blank">The Leader</a> newspaper. "But I think everyone is looking to take a scalp when they come up against Wrexham as well. Wrexham have been a scalp as long as I have been here. Partly because of the documentary and the fanbase as well, it is a big game for whoever is playing us and they are looking to turn us over but we are used to that. We just have to rise up to it and enjoy it, and I think we have done that for the majority."

WHAT O'CONNOR SAID

While some lower league fans are happy with the glamour and profile that owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have brought, others are less enthused and arguments about ticket prices and streaming rights have bubbled below the surface. Whether loved or loathed, Wrexham are undoubtedly one of the first names opponents look out for when fixtures are announced at the start of the season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wrexham's defeat at the Wham Stadium last week snapped a three-game winning streak and saw the Dragons drop to fourth. O'Connor and company will be hoping to get back to winning ways and climb back into the three automatic promotion spots with a win against Morecambe on Saturday.
