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

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 10 points being collected along the way. Only goal difference is keeping them off the top of the table.

More shrewd recruitment business was carried out over the summer, with Parkinson adding greater depth and quality to his ranks. He also has prolific frontman Paul Mullin ready to step back into the starting XI at some stage after recovering from injury.

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 bid for back-to-back-to-back promotions cannot be sustained. He has told BBC Radio Wales Sport: “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.”

Parkinson will be hoping to see early momentum maintained 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.
