How Paul Mullin is making Wrexham team-mate Jacob Mendy better & when Red Dragons will turn attention towards landing another title for Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney

Jacob Mendy admits to benefiting from having the prolific frontman around, as he has to contend with him in training on a daily basis.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mendy has told the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSK0ZAan630 " target="_blank">Men In Blazers</a> podcast: “I have learned how to deal with very good strikers – how sharp they are and how they do things that not everyone can do. You look at Paul Mullin’s goal the other day [against Grimsby], if that was me than I would try to control the ball and then think after but he thinks instantly when the ball is in the air and makes a decision – the correct decision. It’s things like that I look at and think fast. I want to learn this from him.”
