‘Don’t want’ – Who Wrexham hope to avoid in FA Cup draw as Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney & Phil Parkinson wait to discover fourth-round opponents

League One

Wrexham

Cambridge U

The Red Dragons have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-slice-luck-big-misses-deflected-goal-fa-cup-joy-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-shrewsbury-round-four/blt2b3a790b136abf6b" target="_blank">emulated their efforts from 2022-23</a> by reaching the latter stages of English football’s grandest knockout competition. They <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-billy-sharp-jibe-wrexham-response-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/bltca3cf24dd1c34e79" target="_blank">came unstuck against Premier League-bound Sheffield United</a> 12 months ago, with co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney riding another emotional rollercoaster there.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Head coach Parkinson has said of his hopes for 2024, having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/semi-pro-players-wrexham-elliot-lee-bites-back-fa-cup-rival-red-dragons-derby-third-round-win-shrewsbury/blt57f9ea459811e386" target="_blank">disposed of local rivals Shrewsbury</a> in round three: “I'd love a home tie against a big team. I just think that the atmosphere at The Racecourse, particularly now we have got the temporary stand up, is fantastic. Let's look forward to a great day and enjoy the draw on Monday. I don't want a team in our own division. I don't know how many teams are left in our division but it would be great to get a home tie.”

WHAT PARKINSON SAID

Wrexham’s Welsh rivals Newport are the only other fourth-tier side <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/when-is-the-fa-cup-fourth-round-draw-date-time-teams-and-where-to-watch-live/blt8022bf02dc0d4acf" target="_blank">left in the FA Cup this season</a>, while Eastleigh and Maidstone United are the two non-league representatives. There are four League One teams still in the draw as things stand, and 18 Premier League outfits – with some third-round ties yet to be played and others going to a replay.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wrexham, who are looking to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/las-vegas-part-ii-wrexham-pointless-promotion-statement-james-jones-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-sin-city/blt49784690d0d28a59 " target="_blank">wrap up back-to-back promotions</a> this season, have shown that they can hold their own against opponents from higher divisions – having sent Championship side Coventry packing last term – and would see a big draw in round four <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/huge-hugh-jackman-reveals-ryan-reynolds-reaction-wrexham-fa-cup-third-round-win-rob-mcelhenney-wolverine-mock-up/blt8755d44fa35c3030" target="_blank">tempt Reynolds and McElhenney back across the Atlantic</a>.
