Former Wrexham star claims 'something's not right' between manager Phil Parkinson and star striker Paul Mullin with Red Dragons ace frozen out of squad

League One

Mansfield

Wrexham

<p>Club hero Mullin has not featured for the Red Dragons since January 28, not even making the bench for five consecutive matches. The striker has scored 110 goals in 171 matches for the club on their rise from non-league to League One, and former midfielder Waynne Phillips is not impressed by Parkinson's decision to repeatedly leave him out.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Wrexham signed two strikers in January as they attempt to hunt down Wycombe and win automatic promotion from League One this season. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/premier-league-quality-wrexham-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-splash-cash-ex-southampton-jay-rodriguez-15k-per-week-wages/blt77eca17d4840ba97" target="_blank">Jay Rodriguez arrived from Burnley</a> and Sam Smith came in from Reading, while Steven Fletcher and Jack Marriott are being preferred to Mullin on the substitutes' bench. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Phillips, who played for Wrexham in two spells between 1989-98 and 1999-2003, said: "For me there's something not right – to not have Paul Mullin in and around the squad seems a little bit crazy. But Phil Parkinson is the manager. He has done particularly well for Wrexham over the last two or three seasons and you have to accept that he is the man who picks the side."</p>

WHAT PHILLIPS SAID

Parkinson's side head to Mansfield on Saturday sitting five points behind Wycombe, with leaders Birmingham likely uncatchable.</p>
