'Is it a step too far?' - Wrexham's reaction to League One doubters as Elliot Lee welcomes return to fitness of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney favourite Paul Mullin

The Red Dragons jumped to fourth in the table with a 3-0 win against Reading on Saturday, with Lee among the scorers. Phil Parkinson's side are aiming to achieve back-to-back-to-back promotions but Lee is aware that Wrexham have their doubters. They haven't knocked the Welsh club's confidence, though, and immediate promotion to the Championship is very much the target.

Wrexham's unbeaten start to the League One campaign has been achieved with last season's top scorer Paul Mullin playing just 16 minutes. The striker made his return from spinal surgery against Reading and Lee said everyone at SToK Racecourse is "buzzing" for Mullin's comeback.

Lee told the club's media team: "Obviously stepped up a level, people would've questioned us and said 'is this a step too far?' We know how much talent we have got in the dressing room, how hard we work everyday and how hard the staff push us. Seven points from nine is a great start but that's all it is, a great start. Hopefully we can continue to build on that and see how far it takes us."

"Everyone is buzzing for Mulls," Lee added. "He has worked so hard to be back. You can see the energy that he brings on the pitch when he comes on – he gives everyone a lift when you might need it. We just want to get him back up to fitness now. For me personally, me and Mulls work well together so I love having him out on the pitch. Obviously we all want to see him scoring goals again."

Lee might get the chance to continue his prolific partnership with Mullin when Wrexham travel to Peterborough next Saturday. Parkinson admitted after the Reading win that he intends to up the intensity of the striker's training regime this week in order to get him ready.
